Correlation of water consumption with nutritional status, metabolic risk and percentage of body fat in adults of Mexico City

AbstractThe promotion of water consumption has been identified by the government of Mexico as one of the main strategies to reduce the diet energy density in order to prevent the problems of overweight, obesity and other diseases. The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation of the water consumption with nutritional status, metabolic risk and percentage of body fat in adults of Mexico City. A sample of 12733 adults residing in Mexico City was obtained, of which 75.6% (n = 9 623) belongs to the female gender and 24.4% (n = 3110) belongs to the male gender. In the study those adults who were between 21 and 60 years old, with an average age of 39.59 ± 10.97 years, were included. The population was constituted in several health fairs celebrated in Mexico City from 2015–2018, in which nutritional consultation was provided. By correlating water consumption with nutritional status, metabolic risk and percentage of body fat, it was found that adults who consume a glass of water of 250 mL per day, have higher incidence of obesity, metabolic risk and percentage of body fat high (70.0%, 83.6% and 96.2, respectively), compared to adults who consume seven glasses of 250 mL of water per day equivalent to 1750 mL of water per day (40.4%, 63.8% and 92.9, respectively), finding a highly significant difference (p < 0.01). In the present study it can be observed that adults who have optimal water intake have a lower incidence of obesity, metabolic risk and high percentage of body fat, data that agree with the literature. However, despite the fact that the multiple benefits of water intake have been documented, its consumption among the population in general is very low, so it is suggested to continue adding efforts to raise awareness among the population regarding the importance and benefits on health by staying well hydrated. Likewise, it is important to consider that the promotion of water consumption is an important component in strategies to promote healthy habits and lifestyles.

Abstract Background An adequate hydration status is critical to ensure efficiency during mental and physical activities. Our goal was to assess the hydration status of a Spanish group of aeronautical military men and to determine the association of hydration status with body composition and anxiety. Methods A total of 188 men were evaluated through a validated hydration questionnaire, anthropometric and biochemical parameters, and an anxiety questionnaire. Based on these methods, the criteria of hydration were established. Results Of the total sample, 81% met the hydration criteria (urine color = well hydrated, water balance ≥ 0 ml, and total water intake/weight ≥ 35 ml/kg), and 19% did not meet the hydration criteria (urine color = not sufficiently hydrated or dehydrated, water balance < 0 ml, and total water intake/weight < 35 ml/kg). Subjects not meeting the hydration criteria had lower urine pH, negative water balance, and lower water intake. The latter also had higher anxiety status (score = 4 vs. 3, P = 0.026), weight [(84.7 ± 10.5) vs. (80.5 ± 10.2) kg], body mass index [(26.3 ± 3.1) vs. (25.2 ± 2.8)]kg/m2, body fat [(22.3 ± 5.6) vs. (18.3 ± 6.5)] %, urine specific gravity, and urine color. Using a logistic binary regression model, hydration status was related significantly with the percentage of body fat (P = 0.004), but no relation was found with age, comorbidities, or medications. Furthermore, total water intake/weight was positively correlated with percentage of body water (r = 0.357, P = 0.000) and negatively with body fat (kg) (r = − 0.427, P = 0.000), percentage of body fat (r = − 0.405, P = 0.000), and waist/hip ratio (r = − 0.223, P = 0.002). Based on a linear regression model, total water intake/weight was related significantly with percentage of body fat (P = 0.001) and percentage of body water content (P = 0.035). No relation was found, however, with waist/hip ratio, age, comorbidities, or medications. Conclusions These findings all suggest a relationship between hydration status and body composition but also set the bases for future studies that relate hydration status and anxiety status. These results can be used to improve the hydration status and body composition of military personnel.

Abstract Background Obesity and lower physical fitness levels in children are related to the development of cardiometabolic risk. The objective of the study was to determine the relationship of cardio-metabolic risk and physical fitness in school children from Santiago de Chile. Methods Physical fitness was assessed as cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength. Fitness was measured using the six-minute-walk-test and muscle strength was assessed by hand grip and standing lung jump. Overweight (≥ 1 SD) and obesity (≥ 2 SD) were determined by body mass index. A cross sectional study was done in 452 children (185 boys and 267 girls), age range (7–9 years). Cardio-metabolic-risk (serum glucose, triglycerides, HDL, insulin) and waist for height ratio was expressed as z score. Data was analyzed using bivariate analysis and multiple and logistic regression. Results A 21% were obese and 27% overweight. Children with high body fat and low cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength had an OR of 6.8-fold (IC 95% 3.4 to 13.9) cardiometabolic risk z-score, compared to those most fit. Conclusion School children with higher body fat and lower physical fitness had increased cardio-metabolic-risk-score. No significant difference in cardio-metabolic risk in the non-obese children was found independent of their physical fitness.

AbstractObjectiveAlthough the benefits of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have been documented, it is thought to be associated to disturbances in nutritional status. These disturbances may occur early in life and are poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between anthropometric parameters and body composition of perinatally HIV-infected children and adolescents under HAART, according to use and non-use of protease inhibitors.DesignCross-sectional study undertaken between August and December 2007. Demographic, socio-economic, clinical and anthropometric data were collected from the patients. The χ2 test, Wilcoxon rank sum test (Mann–Whitney) and t test were used to compare the following variables between users and non-users of protease inhibitors: age, gender, per capita income, HAART exposure, antiretroviral therapy adopted in the last three years, CD4 count, viral load, pubertal stage, nutritional status (BMI-for-age, height-for-age, waist and neck circumferences, triceps skinfold thickness, body fat percentage, upper-arm fat area and upper-arm muscle area).SettingAn HIV/AIDS out-patient clinic, São Paulo, Brazil.SubjectsOne hundred and fifteen patients (children and adolescents aged 6–19 years).ResultsProtease inhibitors users had a higher prevalence of stunting (P=0·03), lower BMI (P=0·03) and lower percentage of body fat (P=0·05) compared with non-users. There was no statistically significant difference between the HAART regimens and measurements of fat adiposity.ConclusionsThe findings of the study suggest that children and adolescents under protease inhibitors are at higher risk of growth and development deviations, but not at risk of body fat redistribution.

This study evaluates the effects of electrical stimulation on body composition and the meridian system in postmenopausal women with obesity. Forty-one postmenopausal women were recruited in Taiwan. The body composition was used as a screening test for obesity (percentage of body fat: > 30%, waist circumference: > 80 cm). The experimental group (EG, n = 20) received modulated middle-frequency electrical stimulation treatment for 20 min twice a week for 12 consecutive weeks at the Zusanli (ST36) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupoints. The control group (CG, n = 21) did not receive any intervention. The measurements of body composition and the meridian system were recorded for both groups in the pre- and post-study. The results showed that the data of body composition (weight, waist and hip circumference, percentage of body fat, and percentage of lean muscle mass) changed considerably in the EG ( p < 0.05); however, no significant difference was observed in the CG. The left triple burner meridian changed notably in both EG and CG throughout the study ( p < 0.05), however there was no difference between the two groups in the overall mean value, up-down ratio, qi and blood ratio, and yin-yang ratio. Our findings suggest that modulated middle-frequency electrical stimulation could help to improve body composition in postmenopausal women with obesity, potentially providing them with better care and health by integrating Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize food and fluid consumption as well as and physical activity patterns in children in relation to ad libitum hydration. Methods Child participants aged 9–11 years (N = 55, 28 females) reported beverage consumption with a 7-day fluid diary. Overall diet was reported using a 7-day diet record and analyses were run using the Nutritional Data System for Research (NDSR). Physical activity was assessed with hip worn accelerometers (Actigraph wGT3x+, Pensacola, FL) over 7 days and aerobic fitness was measured with a VO2 max test. Body composition was assessed with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Urine was collected over a 24hr period and was analyzed separately with a refractometer and freezing point depression for specific gravity (USG) and osmolality (UOsm), respectively. Results Children reported ad libitum consumption of 1645 ± 856 mL of total fluid per day, which was comprised of 37% plain water and 12% milk. The remaining 51% was composed of juice, carbonated, sports, fruit, and caffeinated beverages. Mean 24 h UOsm was 780 ± 250 mOsm/kg and USG was 1.019 ± 0.007. Activity data showed participants spent 52 minutes of MVPA/day. Partial correlations, adjusting for VO2 max, % body fat, sex, energy intake, and accelerometer wear time per day, revealed relationships between plain water consumption and USG (r = −0.32, P = 0.05). USG was related to sedentary activity/day (r = −0.37, P = 0.03); however, there were no other relationships between physical activity and urine hydration markers or plain water intake (all p's > 0.05). Total healthy eating index score (HEI) was not related to plain water intake (r = 0.16, P = 0.34) but trended with UOsm (r = −0.30, P = 0.07). Further, UOsm was inversely correlated with the specific HEI subcomponents of higher vegetable (Rho = −0.32, P = 0.02) and lower saturated fat (Rho = −0.28, P = 0.04) consumption. Conclusions Water consumption in children was below recommendations, and fruit drinks, carbonated drinks, and juice comprised a significant proportion of beverages consumed. Higher water consumption was correlated with lower urine concentration, providing additional support for the importance of water for hydration in children. Finally, hydration was not related to weight status, % body fat, or habitual physical activity. Funding Sources Danone Research, Palaiseau, France.
