AbstractBackgroundYoung people seem increasingly disabled due to pain and stress. Pain and stress are health risks with adverse long-term health effects. Traditionally, these health risks have been most prevalent and strongest associated in females, also regarding children and adolescents. Main objectives in this study were to investigate current gender differences in musculoskeletal pain and perceived stress in adolescents aged 15 and 16 years with respect to prevalence and group differences for various aspects of stress and pain, and to explore the relationship between stress and pain, specified for gender.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 17 participating public schools. The survey was administrated by the schools in accordance with given procedures, emphasizing the volunteer and anonymous participation of the pupils. Primary study measurements were pain and stress. The pain measurements addressed different aspects of musculoskeletal pain including pain sites, pain duration and pain intensity (measured by a Visual analogue scale; VAS). The stress instrument used was the Perceived stress questionnaire (PSQ) comprising different factors of stress, i.e. worries, tension, joy and demands. The secondary study measurement was body mass index (BMI).ResultsThe study sample comprised 422 adolescents aged 15 and 16 years; 218 females and 204 males. The pain reporting was high in both genders, 57.3 per cent of the females and 44.6 per cent of the males. In general, the female adolescents reported more pain and stress, although several pain measures corresponded between genders. The pain prevalence was similar across genders with respect to lower extremity pain, back pain and arm pain. Lower extremity pain was the most frequent reported pain in both genders. More females reported head pain (Pearson Chi-Square 7.11, p = .008), severe pain (VAS ≥ 7, Pearson Chi-Square 13.12, p = .004) and moderate to severe stress (PSQ ≥ 0.45, Pearson Chi-Square 29.11, p < .001). Comparison analyses of the continuous pain and stress variables revealed significant mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) differences between genders for all stress variables with the highest mean scores in females. In both genders there were significant (p < .01) correlations between all the continuous pain and stress variables. In 9 out of 15 correlations, the stress-pain associations were strongest in males (Pearson product-moment correlation (r) between 0.34 and 0.38). Only in females, the body mass index (BMI) appeared associated (weakly) to pain and stress, in terms of pain intensity (VAS, r = 0.19) and lack of joy (as a factor of stress, r = 0.16).ConclusionPain and stress were prevalent in the adolescent sample, with generally higher reporting among females. Several pain measures corresponded between genders, but stress differed significantly between genders for all variables. Scrutinizing the relationship between pain and stress revealed significant stress-pain associations regarding all variables across genders, i.e. the pain complaints among the adolescents seemed equally related to stress in males and females in the sample.

Abstract Objective To examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and pain intensity among veterans with musculoskeletal disorder diagnoses (MSDs; nontraumatic joint disorder; osteoarthritis; low back, back, and neck pain). Setting Administrative and electronic health record data from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Subjects A national cohort of US military veterans with MSDs in VHA care during 2001–2012 (N = 1,759,338). Methods These cross-sectional data were analyzed using hurdle negative binomial models of pain intensity as a function of BMI, adjusted for comorbidities and demographics. Results The sample had a mean age of 59.4, 95% were male, 77% were white/Non-Hispanic, 79% were overweight or obese, and 42% reported no pain at index MSD diagnosis. Overall, there was a J-shaped relationship between BMI and pain (nadir = 27 kg/m2), with the severely obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) being most likely to report any pain (OR vs normal weight = 1.23, 95% confidence interval = 1.21–1.26). The association between BMI and pain varied by MSD, with a stronger relationship in the osteoarthritis group and a less pronounced relationship in the back and low back pain groups. Conclusions There was a high prevalence of overweight/obesity among veterans with MSD. High levels of BMI (&gt;27 kg/m2) were associated with increased odds of pain, most markedly among veterans with osteoarthritis.

Diabetes mellitus occurs, one of which is characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to insulin abnormalities or insulin action (Perkeni, 2015). The 2018 Riskesdas survey showed an increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in people over 15 years of age. High carbohydrate intake can affect the incidence of diabetes mellitus. This is caused carbohydrates that have been broken down by the body into glucose will be circulated throughout the body and the glucose balance will be controlled by the pancreas by releasing the hormone insulin. If a insulin produced is few, the glucose level in the blood will be excess and increase the occurrence of hyperglycemia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between consumption of sweet foods, body mass index and abdominal circumference with the incidence of diabetes mellitus in adults aged 26-45 years in DKI Jakarta based on the Riskesdas 2018 analysis. The results of the bivariate test with chi square showed a relationship between consumption of sweet foods (p = 0,000), body mass index (p = 0,000) and abdominal circumference (p = 0,000) with the incidence of diabetes mellitus. It can be concluded that there is a relationship between consumption of sweet foods, body mass index and abdominal circumference with the incidence of diabetes mellitus in adults aged 26-45 years in DKI Jakarta.

Any movement of the body produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure, and muscle workwhich called physical activities. Increased BMI occurs because of an energy imbalance between food intake with energyreleased to cause the buildup of energy in the form of fat that can lead to obesity or increased BMI.This study purposewas to determine the relationship between physical activities and body mass index (BMI) in adolescents aged 16-18years old in SMA Negeri 2 Denpasar. This research was analytical research with cross sectional approach done inFebruary-March 2018. Sampling was done by Simple Random Sampling. Sample amounted to 70 people. The resultsshowed the relationship between physical activities with body mass index. In the calculation of chi square data analysiscould be seen that significant value (2-tailed) was 0,000 which meant that significant value was p < 0.05. Based on theresults of this study, it can be concluded that there is a strong relationship between physical activities and body massindex (BMI) in adolescents aged 16-18 years old in SMA Negeri 2 Denpasar. Keywords : Physical activity, Body Mass Index (BMI)

Perceived stress is the degree of stress experienced by an individual in the face of a stressor. Studies have shown that stress affects emotions, leads to behavioral changes, and is likely to trigger physical illnesses. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stress is classified as a health epidemic of the 21st century; in the meantime, the percentage of adults being overweight and with obesity has continued to grow after reaching 38.9% in 2016. Hence, it is unclear whether perceived stress has become a factor affecting progressive obesity and whether food addiction (FA) is an intermediate factor. The purposes of this study were to (1) investigate the FA prevalence among young adults in Taiwan, (2) understand correlations among perceived stress, FA, and the body mass index (BMI), and (3) determine the potential mediating effect of FA due to perceived stress on BMI. The study was conducted through an online questionnaire, composed of a basic data form, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS). We received 1994 responses and analyzed 1780 valid samples. Results showed that 231 participants met the FA criteria, accounting for 12.98%. Perceived stress was positively correlated with BMI (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.013~0.088, p-value 7.8 × 10−3), and perceived stress was positively associated to FA (95% CI 1.099~1.154, p-value < 10−4), which was also positively correlated with BMI (95% CI 0.705~2.176, p-value 10−4). FA significantly mediated the relationship between PSS and BMI with an indirect effect size of 25.18% and 25.48% in the group that scored 31~40 on the PSS. The study concluded that among people seeking weight loss, proper stress management and screening for FA in order to apply related therapies may be an effective method for weight management.

Taekwondo is a martial sport that relies on kicks. For a taekwondo athlete to kick, it is necessary to support the explosive power of the leg muscles. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age, sex, body mass index, length of exercise with leg muscle explosive power in taekwondo athletes. Subjects and Methods: This analytic descriptive study used a cross sectional design. The subjects of the study were taekwondo members at Sangkuriang Sports Hall and Lions Gymnasium in Cimahi City, West Java Province, totaling 95 people. The dependent variable is leg muscle explosive power. The independent variables were age, gender, body mass index and duration of exercise. The instruments used are questionnaires and vertical jump measuring instruments. Data were analyzed bivariately using OR and chi square test. The explosive power of the limbs increased with increasing age (OR= 2.89; 95% CI= 1.23 to 5.77; p= 0.010) and duration of exercise (OR= 7.44; 95% CI= 2.96 to 18.67; p <0.001). Leg explosive power decreased with body mass index but not statistically significant (OR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.30 to 1.18; p= 0.600). Gender increased limb explosive power, but not statistically significant (OR= 1.14; 95% CI= 0.51 to 2.56; p= 0.900). The explosive power of the limbs increases with age and duration of exercise. The relationship between limb explosive power and sex and body mass index was not statistically significant

Research in Semarang 9.1% and 10.6% of children aged 6-7 years, suffered from overweight and obesity, with the ratio of boys are higher than girls. Lifestyle changes is the first step to regulate body mass index back to normal. Healthy active lifestyle is now being campaigned, one of exercises that recently famous is biking. This research is to find out the relationship between time baseline with IMT and biking routine with IMT. This study is a one group survey without a control design. The method used in this study is a cross sectional survey. Respondents are biker who agreed to participated in this study. This study was conducted of 173 respondents. Non-parametric statistical analysis test using Kolmogorov smirnov (alternative test of chi square reasons the data does not meet the requirements). Data on the relationship between time baseline and BMI was p = 0.654 (p> 0.05), shows that time baseline is not related with body mass index (BMI) values. Furthermore, the relationship of biking routines with BMI was p = 0.376 (p> 0.05), which is not related between biking routines and body mass index (BMI) values. In conclusion, that time baseline and biking routines have no relationship to the body mass index value, as one of obesity indicator.
