Association between physical activity by number of steps and nutritional status in adolescents of Mexico City

AbstractAn imbalance in energy expenditure can be the main cause of overweight and obesity. Some factors that increase it are the raise in the consumption of hypercaloric foods and the tendency to decrease physical activity. The aim of this study was to determine the association of physical activity by number of steps with the nutritional status of adolescents in Mexico City. A sample of 1457 first-grade adolescents from high school was obtained. To measure the number of steps in the adolescents, a Tanita® FB-731 pedometer was used. For the determination of physical activity, the cut points proposed by Tudor and Bassett were used. Likewise, anthropometric measures were taken and through the use of Who Anthro Plus program, the nutritional status diagnosis was obtained. The obtained data was analyzed with the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics® version 20.0 for Windows. It was found that highly active and active adolescents have a lower prevalence of obesity (8.0% and 6.3%, respectively), in comparison with adolescents who classify on a typical day (28.5%), or slightly active (14.2%), finding a high significant difference (p < 0.01). In the present study it was found that adolescents with greater physical activity have lower prevalence of obesity, results that agree with the literature, which highlight the importance of encourage adolescents to be more active to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity.

Prevalence Of Obesity

AbstractThere is a concern that the bad habits and lifestyles of adolescents such as the consumption of foods rich in sugars and fats in free moments, like school recess acts as a factor that intervenes in the increase of weight. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the nutritional status and the food consumption inside the school in adolescents of Mexico City. A sample of 1457 first-grade adolescents from high schools was obtained. A food consumption frequency questionnaire was applied inside the school. Likewise, anthropometric measures were taken and through the use of Who Anthro Plus program, the nutritional status diagnosis was obtained. The obtained data was analyzed with the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics® version 20.0 for Windows. It was found that adolescents who frequently consume sweets, snacks, flavored waters, bottled juices, confectionery products and ice cream have a higher prevalence of obesity (15.2%, 17.4%, 21.4%, 17.7%, 16.2% and 19.9%, respectively), compared to adolescents who never consume these products (11.6%, 12.6%, 11.9%, 10.5%, 14.6%, and 12.1%, respectively). Likewise, it was found that adolescents who frequently consume fruit, water, yogurt, vegetables and milk have a lower prevalence of obesity (10.2%, 12.2%, 10.3%, 10.1% and 9.35, respectively) in comparison with adolescents who never consume these foods during school hours (19.1%, 18.6%, 17.8%, 15.9% and 16.3%, respectively), finding a highly significant difference (p < 0.01) in the consumption of flavored water, fruit, natural water and yogurt. It was found that the food consumed during school hours has an impact on the nutritional status of adolescents, similar to the results found in the literature, so it is suggested to promote healthy habits and lifestyles at school and at home so that adolescents opt for healthy snack choices.

The present study used the recommendations of the World Health Organization to measure nutritional status, doing so through the body mass index. The purpose of the study is to relate the nutritional status of kindergarten and first grade students from two municipal schools in the Maule region with the eating habits and physical activity perceived by the parents. 87 kindergarten and first grade students were evaluated. The results show that in kindergarten overweight and obesity reached (76.2%) respectively, and in first grade an overweight and obesity of (70.6%), however, no greater relationship was found between knowledge of the parents of the importance of physical activity in the life of their children and their nutritional status as well as in the eating habits that they reported of their children in relation to nutritional status. Students are in a nutritional state of risk and the perception of parents is low in terms of the knowledge they have regarding the practice of physical activity and eating habits, being directly related to the poor nutritional status that they present.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the influence of parental physical activity on offspring’s nutritional status in the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort. Design: Birth cohort study. Setting: The main outcomes were overweight and obesity status of children. The main exposure was parental physical activity over time, measured during the 11-, 15-, and 18-years of age follow-ups. The exposure was operationalized as cumulative, and the most recent measure before the birth of child. We adjusted Poisson regression models with robust variance to evaluate crude and adjusted associations between parental physical activity and offspring’s nutritional status. All analyses were stratified according to the sex of the parent. Participants: A total of 874 members from the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort followed-up at 22-years of age with their first-born child were analysed. Results: Children were, on average, 3.1 years old. Crude analyses showed that the mother’s cumulative physical activity measure had an indirect association with the prevalence of children’s obesity. The most recent maternal physical activity measure before the birth of the child was associated with 41% lower prevalence of obesity in children, even after adjustment for confounders. Conclusions: The most recent maternal physical activity measure was indirectly associated with the prevalence of obesity of children. No associations were found for fathers, reinforcing the hypothesis of a biological effect of maternal physical activity on offspring’s nutritional status.

Abstract Obesity is a global health problem associated with numerous pathological conditions. Unhealthy eating habits and the lack of regular physical activity are considered the most common cause of disordered nutritional status. The aim of the research was to determine the nutritional status in student population and the predictors which determine this condition. The cross-sectional study was conducted on 262 students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences in Kragujevac (130 males and 132 females). Body weight and height, body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat (VF) were measured. Each respondent completed a specially designed questionnaire considering sociodemographic data, eating habits and physical activity. The majority of students have normal BMI values (75.6%), 5.3% were classified as underweight, 14.9% as over-weight and 4.3% as obese. Normal VF values were found in 93.1% of subjects, while high in 5.7% and very high in 1.1%. A statistically significant difference in BMI and VF values was found between male and female gender (24.41 vs. 21.05, Sig = 0.000 and 5.47 vs. 3.07, Sig = 0.000, respectively), as well as between students of the first 4 and the last 2 years of study (Sig = 0.019 and 0.000 respectively). Unhealthy eating habits, such as the consumption of sweets, snacks, fast foods and white bread, and the absence of regular physical activity were statistically more present in overweight/obese respondents. Given the significant presence of pre-obesity/obesity in the examined population, corrective measures should be taken in this population in order to avoid a major health problem in the future.

Aim. To provide national estimates of obesity among US adults aged 20 years and older in 2011-2012 and track its trends from 1999 to 2012. Methods. Measured weight/height from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2012 waves was used to calculate body mass index (BMI) and prevalence measures. Piecewise logistic regressions were conducted to test the differential trends before and after 2010. Results. In 2011-2012, the age-adjusted prevalence of overweight and obesity combined (BMI≥25) was 71.1% (95% CI: 68.0%–74.2%) among men and 65.5% (61.8%–69.3%) among women, and the prevalence of obesity (BMI≥30) was 33.3% (30.5%–36.2%) among men and 35.8% (32.3%–39.4%) among women. From 1990–2000 to 2009-2010, the prevalence of overweight and obesity combined, obesity, grades 2 and 3 obesity combined (BMI≥35), and grade 3 obesity (BMI≥40) increased by 7.2%, 17.8%, 17.6%, and 33.0%, respectively. Compared to 2009-2010, most gender- and race/ethnicity-specific prevalence measures remained unchanged or slightly decreased in 2011-2012. No significant difference in trends among prevalence measures was found before and after 2010. Conclusions. Concurrent evidence on the leveling off of obesity in the US is thin. Given its high prevalence and profound socioeconomic consequences, close monitoring of the trend is warranted.

Abstract Objective: To estimate the prevalence of thinness, overweight and obesity among Tibetan adolescents aged 12-17 years. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: Shigatse city of Tibet municipality, with an average altitude of more than 4000 m. Subjects: Study participants included 2,642 adolescents aged 12-17 years selected from 6 schools using a convenient cluster sampling method. Results: The prevalence of thinness/overweight/obesity among Tibetan adolescents was 9.4%/5.4%/1.4% (China definition), 14.7%/4.4%/0.7% (IOTF definition), and 2.8%/5.7%/0.9% (WHO definition). The prevalence of thinness and overweight was significantly different between both sexes based on each of three BMI classification criteria (P <0.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of obesity between both sexes according to each of three BMI criteria. There was no clear trend in the prevalence of thinness across ages according to the China or IOTF definition (both P >0.05), whereas an upward trend was observed for thinness in boys according to the IOTF definition (P for trend <0.05). In contrast, the prevalence of thinness tended to decrease with increasing age in girls according to the IOTF definition, and in total sample according to the WHO definition (P for trend <0.05). Conclusions: Among Tibetan adolescents, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is relatively low, while the prevalence of thinness is high, especially in boys. These data suggest urgent attention is needed to control adolescent thinness in Tibet.

Abstract Background: Overweight and obesity have become threats to public health in all regions across the globe. Policies to regulate the food environment and promote healthy food consumption can reduce the prevalence obesity but in Ghana there is not enough data to elicit a policy response. This study assessed the association between dietary consumption, anthropometric measures, body composition and physical activity among rural and urban Ghanaian adults. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 565 Ghanaian adults. Structured questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic information. Dietary consumption was assessed using household food frequency questionnaire and 24-hour recall. Height, weight, BMI, waist circumference and body composition of all participants were also measured. The World Health Organization’s Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to assess physical activity levels. Mann Whitney U test was used to analyze differences in anthropometric measurements, body composition and dietary consumption among rural and urban participants. Principal component analysis was used to analyze household food frequency data and nutrient analysis template was used to analyze 24-hour recall. Chi-square was used to measure differences in obesity prevalence by community and gender. Multinomial logistic regression was used to model the risk factors associated with obesity. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity using BMI were 29.9 and 22.9 respectively. The use of waist circumference measurement resulted in the highest overall obesity prevalence of 41.5%. Prevalence of obesity was higher among females compared to males across all measures with the exception of visceral fat that showed no significant difference. Four different patterns were derived from principal component analysis. Among urban participants, component 3 (staple pattern) showed a significant negative correlation with visceral fat (r -0.186, p-value 0.013) and BMI (r -0.163, p-value 0.029). Multinomial logistic regression showed that males (AOR 19.715, CI 9.723-39.978, p-value < 0.001) had higher odds of being of normal weight compared to females. Conclusion: Prevalence of overweight and obesity continue to rise in Ghana, especially among females. Public education and screening as well as interventions that regulate the food environment and make affordable and available healthy food options are needed to control the rise in obesity prevalence.

Background: Prevalence of overweight and obesity in adult has increased each year in Indonesia. Middle managers were groups at risk for overweight because their job characteristics such as low physical activity and risk of experiencing job stress. Economy support in middle manager was one of supporting factor which affect to higher amount of energy intake. Overweight in adult can affect on their health status and work productivityObjectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between energy intake, job stress, physical activity and sleep duration with BMI in middle manager.Methods: This was an observational study with cross sectional design. 49 Middle Manager in Surabaya’s Government Agency were selected using cluster sampling. Nutritional status data were collected using anthropometric measurement, energy intake using SQ-FFQ, job stress using OSI-R questionnaire, physical activity and sleep duration data using activity recall. Data were analyzed by Pearson product moment test.Results: This study showed that most of respondents has normal nutritional status (61.2%), adequate energy intake (47%), moderate level job stress (69.4%), low (46.9%) and moderate (46.9%) physical activity level, and lack of sleep duration (59.2%). There were correlation between energy intake (p=0.001) and sleep duration (p=0.006) with BMI. Job stress (p=0.227) and phyisical activity (p=0.148) had no correlation with BMI.Conclusions: higher energy intake and lower sleep duration would increase BMI.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Prevalensi status gizi lebih pada penduduk dewasa semakin meningkat di Indonesia. Manajer madya merupakan kelompok yang berisiko mengalami kegemukan karena jenis pekerjaan kantor yang ringan serta rentan mengalami stres kerja. Dukungan ekonomi juga menjadi salah satu faktor pendukung besarnya asupan energi dibandingkan energi yang dikeluarkan untuk beraktifitas. Masalah gizi lebih pada penduduk dewasa dapat memengaruhi status kesehatan dan produktifitas kerja seseorang.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara asupan energi, stres kerja, aktifitas fisik dan durasi waktu tidur dengan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) pada Manajer Madya.Metode: Penelitian ini adalah observasional dengan desain penelitian potong lintang. Sebanyak 49 manajer madya di Dinas Pemerintah Kota Surabaya dipilih menggunakan metode cluster sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan pengukuran antropometri untuk IMT, SQ-FFQ untuk asupan energi, kuesioner OSI-R untuk stres kerja serta recall aktifitas fisik untuk data aktifitas fisik dan durasi waktu tidur. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi pearson product moment.Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki status gizi normal (61,2%), kecukupan energi tergolong baik (47%), stres kerja tingkat sedang (69,4%), aktifitas fisik ringan (46,9%) dan sedang (46,9%) serta durasi tidur yang kurang (59,2%). Terdapat hubungan antara asupan energi (p=0,001) dan durasi waktu tidur (0,006) dengan IMT. Stres kerja (p=0,227) dan aktifitas fisik (p=0,148) tidak berhubungan dengan IMT.Kesimpulan: Semakin tinggi asupan energi dan semakin singkat durasi waktu tidur maka akan semakin tinggi IMT pada manajer madya.

Abstract Background Different mechanisms connect the nutritional status with the occurrence and the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The end-stage renal disease is complicated by catabolic inflammatory reactions and cachexia which leads to malnutrition (undernutrition). On the other hand, obesity is an important risk factor for the development and acceleration of CKD. Methods In the SCOPE study, community-dwelling persons aged 75 years and over, from 6 European countries and Israel were examined at the baseline phase. We assessed the relationship between anthropometric measures (Body Mass Index (BMI), circumferences of arm (AC), waist (WC), hip (HC), and calf (CC), waist-to-hip ratio - WHR, waist-to-height ratio - WHtR, risk of malnutrition (Mini Nutritional Assessment - MNA), serum albumin) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) equation. Results We studied 2151 subjects (932 men and 1219 women) with a mean age of 79.5 ± 5.9 years. A total of 1333 (62%) participants had CKD (GRF < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2). Negative correlations between eGFR and weight, AC, WC, HC, CC, BMI, WHtR were observed. Positive correlation occurred between eGFR and MNA score (Spearman’s rho = 0.11) and albumin concentration (rho = 0.09). Higher weight, AC, WC, HC, CC, BMI and WHtR increased the odds ratio of CKD; higher MNA (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.94–1.0) and higher serum albumin (OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.53–1.0) were weakly associated with reduced odds. The risk of malnutrition was the highest with eGFR < 30 as compared to eGFR > 60 (OR = 2.95, 95%CI = 1.77–4.94 for MNA < 24; OR = 5.54, 95%CI = 1.66–18.5 for hypoalbuminemia < 3.5 g/dL). Conclusion The population of community dwelling people aged 75+ with CKD shows general features of overweight and obesity with a small prevalence of malnutrition. For anthropometric measures, the strongest association with eGFR and the highest odds of CKD were identified using WC, HC, CC and WHtR. Albumin level and MNA, but not MNA Short Form, indicated an increased odds of malnutrition with a decrease in eGFR.
