The aim of the study - to study the clinical features and indicators for asthma control inoverweight children to optimize treatment strategies.Material and methods. 200 schoolchildren with asthma who were treated in the pulmoallergy department of the Chernivtsi Regional Children's Clinical Hospital have beenexamined. 52 patients with excess body weight (body mass index was greater than 25,0)belonged to group I, and children with body weight corresponding to the age norm (bodymass index from 18,0 to 24,9) were included into clinical group II under observation.Results. It has been found that the average number of points according to the ASTquestionnaire in patients of group I reached 14,0 ± 1,33 points, and in the comparisongroup – 16,3 ± 0,54 points (p˃0,05). At the same time, the share of patients withuncontrolled course of the disease among the overweight children reached 61,5% incomparison to 48,3% in the comparison group (p˃0,05).Indices of the risk of uncontrolled asthma (the sum of AST test scores <16) in childrenwith overweight have shown the following results: odds ratio = 1,6 (95% CI: 0,29-8,59),relative risk = 1,4 95% CI: 1,00-2,08) and attributive risk = 6,8%. Before treatment theindex of AKDNFG - 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazones (AKDNFG) of the main character in thegroup of excess body weight children was 60,8 mmol /g of protein, and in group of normalbody weight children – 59,6 ± 9 mmol /g of protein. After the course of basic therapy,these indices gave next results – 47,2 ± 4,18 mmol/g of protein in group I and 4,3 ± 0,29mmol /g of protein (p> 0,05) in group II.Conclusions. Bronchial asthma in overweight children is more likely to debut at an earlyage and characterized by a persistent course. Predisposition to the body overweight inpatients with bronchial asthma has a negative effect on the indices of the disease controlachievement, although it is accompanied by an evidence decrease of the inflammatoryprocess of the respiratory tract in the course of treatment.

Objectives: To find out the frequency of already recognized risk factor ofGallstones in population of Pakistan. Methods: A total of 50 patients diagnosed as cholelithiasison ultrasonography were included in the study. Data collection through interview included age,sex, marital status, parity, height and weight. On the basis of height and weight Quetelet’s bodymass index (weight in kg/height in m2) was calculated. Data collected also included Lipid profileData was analyzed by SPSS version 17 for descriptive statistics. Setting and Period: Thisstudy was done at Department of Surgery, Dow University Hospital for a period of 6 monthsfrom February to July 2015. Results: 70% of patients were above 40 years of age, 88% werefemale, and 83.3% were multiparous while only 32% had BMI above 23. Conclusion: Femalegender, fertility, middle age and flatulence are the common risk factors of gallstone formationwhile obesity is not a definite risk factor in Pakistan.

Fitness plays a crucial role in increasing the healthy lifespan of an individual and ensuring thatthey are able enough to complete physical labour effectively. Developing countries, in thisinstance India, have low median ages, which is an appropriate stage to focus on fitness. Onecritical element for succeeding in improving physique is nutrition. However, with currentstandings, India is seeing high rates of malnutrition which, in turn, is resulting in poor physicalcapability. To test whether this standing can be improved upon, a home for destitute childrenpermitted us to implement a regimented nutrition system. In this study, the shortcomings of thenutrition implemented in a sample of a rural household were first identified and then improvedupon to meet internationally agreed standards. Data collected was divided into two sets: BodyMass Index and Nutritional Composition. For the former, data corresponding to age, weight,and height - key components of calculating BMI - were collected; for the latter, the componentsof their diet from their set weekly menu were extracted and translated into averaged nutritionalvalues. With this information in hand, a misallocation in the nutritional system was identifiedand improved upon by using data published by the Indian government and other reliablesources such as UNICEF and USDA.

Anaemia among women is still a public health problem in developing countriesincluding India. A community based, cross Ã¢â‚¬Âsectional study was conductedamong non Ã¢â‚¬Âpregnant women to assess the prevalence of anaemia.The study group was comprised of 528 women between 20 to 49 years fromfour rural blocks located in western parts of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal.The overall mean level of haemoglobin (Hb) was 10.36±1.61 g/dl. Theresults indicated that slightly incensement of the mean values of Hb concentrationwith advancement in age except the age group of 45 Ã¢â‚¬Â49 years. Prevalenceof anaemia (Hb<11.9g/dl) was very high among the participants(79.55%). In all, 16.66% of women had mild (10 Ã¢â‚¬Â11.9g/dl), 61.93% had moderate(7 Ã¢â‚¬Â9.9g/dl) and only 0.94% had severe anaemic (<7g/dl). The highestfrequency(83.14%) of anaemia was observed among age group of 45 Ã¢â‚¬Â49 andlowest(75.94%) in the age group of 25 Ã¢â‚¬Â29 years. Results also reveals thatrural women have higher prevalence of anaemia(52.84%) with low bodymass index (BMI; <18.5kg/m 2) compared to normal or overweight women.Anaemia is a common problem among women in rural sectors of PaschimMedinipur. However, further studies are required to identify the responsiblefactors which are essential for the effective management of anaemia.
