The research has the intention to determinate the prevalence, risky factors of overweight and obesity in a sample of six hundred people between seven (7) and eighteen (18) years old, chosen by a simple random sampling with exclusion criteria, pathologies that affect the weight and size (diabetes paralysis; malformation or physic limitations). The data was collected through national poll of the nutritional situation and Colombia ENSIN, in the demographic and anthropometric information register and poll identification of food habits and physical activity questionnaire for children PAQ-C. The comparative analysis was made through SPSS in two determined populations by the low and medium social status criteria in the overweight and obesity variables, risky factors related with physical activity food habits and gender. It can be concluded that the population presents normal weight, prone to obesity. Based on the medium socioeconomic status, the percent of male obese teenagers is higher than the female one. Children independent of the socioeconomic status, present a higher percentage of obesity than teenagers. A high percent of population do not do physical exercise. There is no evidence of the relation between socioeconomic level and the presence of unhealthy food habits.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron determinar los niveles, los beneficios y las barreras de la actividad física (AF) en una de la sedes de la Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia. Participaron de manera voluntaria 92 estudiantes, 72 docentes y 45 empleados; utilizando un muestreo aleatorio simple para cada grupo. Se empleó el Cuestionario Global de Actividad Física (GPAQ) para identificar los niveles de actividad física (NAF) y el cuestionario para medir la percepción de los beneficios y las barreras de AF The Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS). Las encuestas fueron recolectadas durante el segundo semestre del año 2012. Se manejó el programa estadístico SPSS versión 21 para el análisis de los datos, utilizando técnicas de distribución de frecuencias y la prueba de X2 para comparar las proporciones, de acuerdo al vínculo con la universidad y al sexo. Se identificó que el 51.1% de los estudiantes, el 48.6% de los docentes y el 46.7% de los empleados presentan NAF altos. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las percepciones de beneficios de AF; la menor percepción de barreras fue observada en los estudiantes y la mayor en los docentes. Los resultados del presente estudio podrían servir como insumos para la creación de estrategias que posibiliten mejorar los programas de AF ofrecidos dentro del campus universitario y permitan incrementar los NAF de la población, al mismo tiempo aumentar la adherencia a dichos programas.Abstract. The objectives of this research were to determine the levels, benefits and barriers to physical activity in one of the campuses of the University of Antioquia, Medellin, Colombia. 92 students, 72 teachers and 45 employees voluntarily participated in this study using simple random sampling for each group. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to identify levels of physical activity (PA) and the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) questionnaire to measure the perceived benefits and barriers of PA. The surveys were collected during the second half of 2012. We used SPSS version 21 for analysis of the data, using techniques of frequency distribution and the X2 test to compare proportions based on the participants’ relationship with the university and gender. It was found that 51.1 % of students, 48.6 % of teachers and 46.7 % of employees have high levels of PA. No statistically significant differences between the perceptions of benefits of PA were found; the lowest perceived barriers were observed in students and the highest in teachers. The results of this study could serve as input for the creation of strategies to build better PA programs offered within the university campus and allow to increase PA levels of the population, while increasing adherence to such programs.

Purpose. To evaluate the relationship between overweight/obesity and dietary/lifestyle factors among Italian adolescents.Methods. On a total of 756 adolescents with mean age , body mass index, food consumption, and time dedicated to after school physical activities and to TV viewing were determined. The data were analysed according to age, nutritional status, and gender. The analysis of variance and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate the association between dietary/lifestyle factors and overweight/obesity.Results. The percentages of overweight and obesity were, respectively, 28% and 9% among boys, 24% and 7% among girls. The overweight/obesity condition in both genders was associated with parental overweight/obesity ( for mother), less time devoted to physical activity ( for boys and for girls) and being on a diet (). Direct associations were also observed between BMI and skipping breakfast and the lower number of meals a day (boys only).Conclusions. This pilot study reveals some important dietary and lifestyle behaviour trends among adolescents that assist with identification of specific preventive health actions.

(1) Background: Adolescence is a period of increased autonomy and independent decision making; it determines health behaviors that can persist into the future. Individual factors like food choices and unhealthy lifestyle have an essential role in the development and prevention of obesity among adolescents and are associated with the nutrition literacy of parents and other adults. While the association of parents’ nutrition literacy with adolescent BMI has been addressed, there is still a scarcity of studies that examine the effect of adolescents’ nutrition literacy on their eating habits and body mass index (BMI) status. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted that included 189 adolescents (68 with overweight and obesity and 121 with normal weight) aged between 14–19 years from four private schools in Tripoli, Lebanon. A self-administered questionnaire that included the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLAI) and the Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (AFHC) was used. Anthropometrics were measured using standardized procedures. The association between nutrition literacy, food habits and BMI was assessed using a chi squared test for independence and Poisson regression analysis where suitable. (3) Results: Results indicated no association between all five components of nutrition literacy and body mass index categories. Furthermore, there was no association between the Adolescent Food Habits Checklist and overweight or obese BMI status (RR = 0.947, 95%CI: 0.629–1.426) (p = 0.796). No association was observed between nutrition literacy and food habits, except for an inverse association with macronutrients literacy. (4) Conclusions: In conclusion, the study indicated that there was no association between the components of nutrition literacy with body mass index or with food habits, except for macronutrient literacy.

In order to assess possible influences of socioeconomic status and gender on habitual physical activity (HPA) of prepubertal French children, daily heart rate was 24-hr-monitored in 65 normal subjects for 2 days in the same school week. HPA was evaluated as the mean daily time spent at heart rates greater than 140 bpm (tFC > 140), 160 bpm (tFC > 160), 50% (tFC > 50%), and 70% (tFC > 70%) of the heart rate reserve. An effect of socioeconomic status (determined by questionnaire) was found in boys, with HPA being greater in the underprivileged ones (tFC > 140: 51.8 ± 30.1 vs 33.0 ± 14.1 min, p < .05; tFC > 160: 22.7 ± 16.6 vs 11.1 ± 7.4 min, p < .05; tFC > 50%: 61.4 ± 33.5 vs 46.5 ± 17.1 min, p < .06; tFC > 70%: 20.1 ± 15.2 vs 10.6 ± 7.1, p < .05). Boys were more active than girls, but only in the underprivileged group (tFC > 140: 51.8 ± 30.1 vs 32.8 ± 26.0 min, tFC > 160: 22.7 ± 16.6 vs 9.9 ± 8.2 min, p < .05; tFC > 50%: 61.4 ± 33.5 vs 37.4 ± 23.8 min, p < .05; tFC > 70%: 20.1 ± 15.2 vs 8.1 ± 6.3, p < .05).

Abstract Background: Overweight has become one of the common health concerns. A few studies have noted a possible association between iron-deficiency anemia and overweight. As many as 3crore Indians are overweight, and obesity continues rise, says statistics revealed by the National Family Health Survey (NFHS 2010), Around 20% of school-going children are overweight. Materials and Methods: In this study survey research approach and comparative descriptive design was adopted. The sample size was 300 adolescents. 300 adolescents were selected by convenient sampling technique, out of which 225 were normal weight adolescents and remaining. Among 225 normal weight adolescents 50 adolescents were selected by simple random sampling technique (lottery method) and out of 75 overweight adolescents, 50 overweight adolescents were selected by convenient sampling technique. Initially BMI identified, Talliquis method was used for identifying the anemia. Peripheral smear test used for identifying the iron deficiency anaemia. Results: The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result shows that out of 300 adolescents75 (25%) of adolescents were overweight. Out of 100 children (50+50) 19(38%) were anemic in adolescents with overweight and seven (14%) were anemic in adolescents with normal weight. Out of the total 26 adolescents with anemia (19 -overweight and 7- normal weight) no occurrence of iron deficiency anemia was found. There is no significant difference in occurrence of anemia between overweight and normal weight adolescence. Interpretation and conclusion: The findings of the study indicates that majority of the overweight adolescents were anemic compare to normal-weight adolescents. There is no association between the occurrence of anemia and demographic variables like age, food habits, physical activity, menstrual problems etc.

Few studies have investigated if compliance with energy intakes, physical activity, and weight gain guidelines attenuate postpartum weight retention (PPWR) in mothers attending prenatal classes. We investigated whether (a) daily energy intakes within 300 kcal of estimated energy requirements (EERs), (b) walking more than 5000 steps/day, (c) targeting the recommended weight gain goals for prepregnancy BMI, and/or (d) achieving weekly or total gestational weight gain (GWG) recommendations minimized PPWR in 54 women attending prenatal classes in Montreal/Ottawa, Canada. Participants completed a validated pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ), 3 telephone-validated 24-hr dietary recalls, and wore a pedometer for one week. PPWR was measured 6 weeks after delivery. Results showed that 72% had healthy prepregnancy BMIs. However, 52% consumed>300 kcal/day in excess of their EER, 54% exceeded recommended GWG, and more overweight (93%) than normal weight women (38%) cited nonrecommended GWG targets. Following delivery, 33% were classified as overweight, and 17% were obese. Multiple logistic regressions revealed that women targeting “recommended weight gain advice” were 3 times more likely to meet total GWG recommendations (OR: 3.2,P<0.05); women who complied with weekly GWG goals minimized PPWR (OR: 4.2,P<0.02). In conclusion, appropriate GWG targets, lower energy intakes, and physical activity should be emphasized in prenatal education programs.

Previous studies of younger, healthy individuals have demonstrated an inverse relationship between physical activity and depression. The present study addressed the relation between self-reported physical activity and symptoms of depression in 146 men and women aged 50 years and older with major depressive disorder (MDD). Patients who met clinical criteria for MDD completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Minnesota Leisure-Time Activity Questionnaire (MQ). Multiple regression analysis indicated that lower levels of physical activity were associated with more severe depressive symptoms (p = .04), after adjusting for age and gender. The implications of these findings for the treatment and prevention of depression are discussed.
