The Relationship

Several studies had revealed that following the Mediterranean diet (MD) contributes to beneficial health status and a decreased risk of many chronic diseases. The aim of our study was to assess adherence to MD in Casablanca City and to identify the relationship between MD adherence and sociodemographic and lifestyle parameters. This cross-sectional study concerned 719 subjects with complete dietary data. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire including sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. The dietary intake was assessed with the use of a food-frequency questionnaire. The compliance with MD was evaluated with a simplified MD score. Our study showed that high adherence to the MD was characterized by high intakes of vegetables, fruits, pulses, fish, cereals, olive oil, and low meat and dairy consumption according to the Simplified MD score. As regard to the multivariate logistic, being a man, being married, persons with a level of education >6 years, luxurious housing, and consumption of alcohol were associated with a higher adherence to MD, while, the overweight was negatively associated with a higher adherence to MD. Maintaining the traditional MD pattern is crucial for public health; in this way, more research is needed in this area in order to precisely measure these associations.

Objective: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with workaholism among stricto sensu graduate nursing professors. Method: a cross-sectional study with 333 professors of master’s/doctorate degrees from 47 Brazilian public universities. Participants answered a characterization questionnaire and the Dutch Work Addiction Scale, which were analyzed descriptively and by multiple logistic regression. Results: the prevalence of workaholism was 10.5%. The factors associated with the dimensions of workaholism were: having a marital relationship, being dissatisfied with work and sleep, indicating low ability to concentrate and few leisure opportunities, belonging to Graduate Programs with grades 3, 4 and 5, receiving a research productivity grant, considering the influence of work on life as negative, showing difficulty in combining work with personal life, to present work-related anxiety, feel pressure for scientific publishing, elaborate more than 11 articles simultaneously, give more than 21 opinions in the last year, work an extra 11 hours a week in addition to the work schedule and dedicate less than 10 hours a week to graduate school. Conclusion: there is an indication of workaholism in the investigated professors, and the associated factors were related to working conditions and requirements. Universities must adhere to management models that include occupational health promotion.

Background: Dental specialists are at a higher risk of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) that lead to physical disability. Musculoskeletal pain in dentists is due to constrained body postures for prolonged period of time. Limited number of studies has been done in India to check the prevalence and factors associated with the musculoskeletal pain among dentists. Purpose: To see the prevalence and assess the intensity of musculoskeletal pain in different anatomical parts among dentists from two different institutes of Chandigarh along with identification of selected factors associated with the onset of musculoskeletal (MS) pain among them. Methods: A cross-sectional study was made among interns, postgraduate students and faculty members from two different institutes of Chandigarh. A total of 120 members completed a questionnaire containing 24 questions. The study variables in the questionnaire were divided into 3 groups as: Socio-demographic information, ergonomic variables and work- related musculoskeletal pain. Results: Most of the dentists (79.2%) reported musculoskeletal pain during the past 12 months. On comparing different locations of pain, the lower back region was frequently affected area (87.4%) followed by pain in neck region (83.2%). Females were more susceptible to pain than males. A significant association (p<0.05) was found between sitting posture adopted by dentists, years of practice and the MS pain. Highest prevalence was found in dentists adopting forward bent posture in sitting during work (87.3%) and those working for >15 years (90.9%). Conclusion: The study revealed that prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was high among dentists. Higher incidence of pain was found in women and younger dentists. The lower back region was most commonly affected area followed by neck region. The study also found that musculoskeletal pain increased with increase in years of practice with significant association between them. Key words: Musculoskeletal pain, Socio-demographic information, Ergonomic variables.

Abstract Background: While the prevalence of post-disaster musculoskeletal pain has been documented, its associated disaster-related factors have not been investigated. This study determined the prevalence of and lifestyle factors associated with musculoskeletal pain among evacuees of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 34,919 evacuees, aged 40-89 years, without obvious disabilities in activities of daily living at about 1 year after the disaster. The evacuees were asked about their musculoskeletal pain (low back and limb pain) and lifestyle factors: use of evacuation shelters or temporary housing at any point of time, job loss after the disaster, decreased income after the disaster, current smoking status, current drinking status, lack of sleep, regular exercise, and participation in recreational or community activities. Furthermore, psychological factors, such as traumatic reactions, psychological distress, and somatic symptoms, affecting musculoskeletal pain were assessed. We used multinomial logistic regression analysis to calculate odds ratios of each lifestyle factor for prevalent and prevalent plus exacerbated musculoskeletal pain. Results: Musculoskeletal pain prevalence was 32.8%: 27.6% for prevalent and 5.2% for prevalent plus exacerbated musculoskeletal pain. Multivariable adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of lifestyle factors associated with prevalent and prevalent plus exacerbated musculoskeletal pain were as follows: shelter use (prevalent: 1.02, 0.96-1.08; exacerbated: 1.44, 1.29-1.60), job loss (prevalent: 1.03, 0.96-1.10; exacerbated: 1.30, 1.16-1.47), decreased income (prevalent: 1.13, 1.05-1.21; exacerbated: 1.29, 1.14-1.45), current heavy drinking (prevalent: 1.33, 1.21-1.47; exacerbated: 1.38, 1.14-1.68), insomnia (prevalent: 1.22, 1.15-1.29; exacerbated: 1.50, 1.36-1.65), exercising almost daily (prevalent: 0.83, 0.77-0.91; exacerbated: 0.80, 0.68-0.95), and participating in community activities often (prevalent: 0.83, 0.75-0.92; exacerbated: 0.76, 0.61-0.95). Conclusions: Prevalent and exacerbated musculoskeletal pain were inversely associated with frequencies of exercise and participating in recreational or community activities and positively associated with decreased income, current heavy drinking, and insomnia. The use of evacuation shelters or temporary housing/job loss was positively associated only with exacerbated musculoskeletal pain. These results suggest that post-disaster lifestyle factors are potentially associated with musculoskeletal pain. For better post-disaster pain management, further studies are needed to confirm these results in other disasters and highlight underlying mechanisms.
