Body mass index and age affect Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire scores in male subjects

Along with the excess food consumption and the sedentary lifestyle, dysregulation of eating behaviour contributes much to the development of overweight and obesity and often becomes a component of pathogenesis in the number of diseases and conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of eating behaviour in young people with normal body weight, overweight and with obesity class I. The study included 96 individuals aged 18–25. There were evaluated anthropometric parameters and the body fat percentage by the circumference measuring. Based on the body mass index, all subjects were divided into 3 sex-balanced groups of 32 individuals in each: a group with body mass index ranging from 18,5 to 24,9 kg/m2, a group with increased body weight (body mass index from 25,00 to 29,99 kg/m2), and a group with obese class I individuals (body mass index from 30,00 to 34,99 kg/m2). A Dutch Eating behaviour Questionnaire and a 3-factor Stunkard, Three-factor Eating questionnaire - 18 were used to assess eating behaviour. The results were processed statistically. Results. According to the findings obtained by using the Dutch Eating behaviour Questionnaire, the restrictive type of eating disorders was more prevalent in male individuals with obesity class I and in female individuals of all groups. The external type was more pronounced in the men of all groups studied. According to the findings of Three-factor Eating questionnaire - 18, the cognitive restriction type was found as a dominant type of eating behavioural disorders. Between the indicators of eating disorder types according to the Dutch Eating behaviour Questionnaire and Three-factor Eating questionnaire - 18 and anthropometric indicators there has been found mainly positive correlation of high and medium strength in the individuals with normal weight, while the negative correlation of high and medium strength has been detected in the overweight and obese individuals of both sexes. The results obtained point out the need in individualized approach in modifications of the dietary pattern in young people, the importance of mandatory psychological correction, and their combining with other components of weight loss strategies.

Abstract The aim of this research is to present body mass index (BMI) data in children 3-5 years of age from Skopje and provide the information on the prevalence of different categories of nutritional status during the early childhood. Material and methods: The study included 420 preschool children (210 boys and 210 girls). Stature and body weight were measured, and the BMI value was calculated. Twelve anthropometric parameters were measured using standard equipment and measurement technique according to the International Biological Programme. Results: The majority of anthropometrical parameters have shown significant age and sex specific differences in favor of male subjects. Values at the 50th percentile in our male subjects aged 3, 4 and 5 years for the weight-for-age index were 19 kg, 19.1 and 21 kg, respectively whereas in the female subjects the corresponding values were 16.8 kg, 20 kg and 21 kg. The height-for-age index values corresponding to the 50th percentile showed slightly higher values in our male subjects (100 cm, 109.5 cm and 116 cm) than those in our female subjects (102 cm, 108.5 cm and 116 cm). The values of 50th percentile of BMI in our males subjects were 18.1 kg/m², 16.2 kg/m² and 16 kg/m² whereas in our females were 16.5 kg/m², 16.7 kg/m² and 16.4 kg/m². Conclusion: These results show that underweight is a health problem of the rising generation in Skopje and needs to be considered along with the problem of overweight. It is recommended that the detected values could be applied for evaluation of deviations in growth and nutritional status in children aged 3-5.

Objective: Obesity is a modern-day epidemic. Body mass index (BMI) is an easily computed surrogate marker of obesity. The incidence of obesity has paralleled the incidence of male infertility. The evidence of the association between BMI and semen parameters stays rather inconclusive. The aim of this study was to understand the association between BMI and semen parameters of male subjects evaluated at the infertility clinic. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 410 male subjects (>18 years of age) who were referred to clinical pathology from the infertility clinic. Semen analysis for macroscopic parameters – total sperm concentration, motility, morphology, and viability, was done as per the guidelines laid by the WHO (WHO-5th edition 2010). Results: All the semen parameters showed higher aberrations in the obese group than the normal BMI group. However, on Pearson Chi-square analysis, none of these differences were found to be statistically significant (P > 0.05). On Pearson correlation analysis, none of the parameters showed a statistically significant correlation with BMI. Conclusion: The present study did not find any statistically significant differences for the commonly measured semen parameters, among the three BMI groups. We thus conclude that increased BMI or obesity has no significant impact on the semen parameters.
