Wstęp: Wysiłkowe nietrzymanie moczu (WNM) i otyłość są problemami uznanymi przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia (World Health Organization – WHO) za choroby społeczne. Według International Continence Society 10–40% kobiet ma kłopoty z nietrzymaniem moczu (NM). Nadwaga i otyłość stanowią jeden z największych problemów zdrowotnych kobiet w okresie okołomenopauzalnym. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była analiza wpływu WNM na aktywność ruchową (AR) kobiet w zależności od masy ciała.Materiał i metody: W badaniu wzięły udział 54 kobiety w wieku 41–67 lat z WNM. Wykonano pomiary antropometryczne. Aktywność ruchowa została zbadana za pomocą kwestionariuszy autorskich. Istotność statystyczną obliczono w programie Statistica 12 testami normalności rozkładu, współczynnika korelacji oraz testami nieparametrycznymi i post-hoc.Wyniki: Średnia wieku badanych wynosiła 55 ±7 lat. Wskaźnik masy ciała (Body Mass Index – BMI) u badanych kształtował się następująco: w normie (N1) – 11 (20,4%), z nadwagą (N2) – 33 (59,2%), otyłość (N3) – 11 (20,4%); 94% (51 osób) stanowiły pacjentki o budowie ciała androidalnej, 6% (3 osoby) o gynoidalnej. Aktywność ruchową przed pojawieniem się problemów z WNM pacjentki oceniały jako tryb życia: siedzący – 12 (22,2%), aktywny – 23 (42,6%), mieszany – 19 (35,2%). Na pytanie dotyczące wpływu pojawienia się problemów z WNM na AR pacjentki odpowiadały: trochę – 13 (24,1%), umiarkowanie – 14 (25,9%), bardzo – 27 (50%). Nie wykazano różnic istotnych statystycznie w grupach N1, N2, N3 pod względem wpływu WNM na AR.Wnioski: Największą uciążliwość WNM wpływającą na AR odczuwały pacjentki z nadwagą. Nie została jednak wykazana istotna zależność w tym zakresie. W badanej grupie chorych przeważający był androidalny typ budowy ciała oceniany za pomocą wskaźnika WHR

Os objetivos desta revisão sistemática foram verificar quais são os pontos de corte para a classificação do IMC, qual é o mais utilizado e a sua aplicabilidade em estudos populacionais com idosos. A partir da base de dados BVS, os descritores utilizados para a busca foram índice de massa corporal, estado nutricional e idoso. Foram encontrados 492 artigos, e desses 21 foram excluídos por duplicação, resultando em 471. Apenas 24 atenderam os critérios de inclusão. No total, foram encontradas quatro referências distintas para classificar os pontos de corte do IMC:Lipschitz, World Health Organization, Nutrition Screening Initiative e Organização Pan Americana de Saúde. O ponto de corte do índice de massa corporal mais utilizado pela literatura é a classificação recomendada pela WHO. O IMC é utilizado com o intuito de avaliar o estado nutricional, associar com co-fatores de saúde; e relacionar seus valores e classificação com risco de morbimortalidade.Descritores: Índice de massa corporal; Estado nutricional; Idoso.The aim of this systematic review were to assess what are the cutoff points for BMI classification, which is the most used and their applicability in population studies with elderly. From the base of BVS data, the descriptors used for the search were body mass index, nutritional status and elderly. 492 articles were found, and of these 21 were excluded for duplication, resulting in 471. Only 24 met the inclusion criteria. In total, four distinct references were found to classify the BMI cutoff points: Lipschitz, World Health Organization, Nutrition Screening Initiative and the Pan American Health Organization's cutoff of body mass index most widely used in the literature is recommended classification by WHO. BMI is used in order to assess nutritional status, co-factors associated with health; and relate their values andclassification with risk of mortality.Descriptors: Body Mass Index; Nutrition status; Aged.Los objetivos de esta revisión sistemática fueron determinar cuáles son los puntos de corte para la clasificación del IMC, que es el más utilizado y su aplicación en estudios de población con edad avanzada.

There is a growing incidence of obesity around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is conferred by a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg m-2. Several studies demonstrated that individuals experience pain with the rise in the body mass index. The causal link between the two remains unclear as yet. World Health Organization defines the quality of life (QoL) as, "an individual's perception of their position in life, in context of the culture and value systems in which they live, and with their expectations, standards and concerns". Quality of life is a sizeable multidimensional term that typically involves subjective evaluations of both the positive and the negative aspects of life. To study the effect of body mass index on the intensity of pain and quality of life. One hundred four obese individuals with the presence of pain were provided with the McGill Pain Questionnaire, Short Form Health Survey-36. Their BMI was taken. The type of study was cross-sectional, and the study design was a survey (Questionnaire) method. BMI and pain intensity are directly related to each other. Obesity leads to an increase in the pain intensity and affects the quality of life of obese individuals. As the BMI increases the pain intensity of the individuals also increases. The quality of life depends upon BMI. The quality of life is affected in the obese population.

Objective: To investigate the agreement between two international criteria for classification of children and adolescents nutritional status. Methods: The study included 778 girls and 863 boys aged from six to 13 years old. Body mass and height were measured and used to calculate the body mass index. Nutritional status was classified according to the cut-off points defined by the World Health Organization and the International Obesity Task Force. The agreement was evaluated using Kappa statistic and weighted Kappa. Results: In order to classify the nutritional status, the agreement between the criteria was higher for the boys (Kappa 0.77) compared to girls (Kappa 0.61). The weighted Kappa was also higher for boys (0.85) in comparison to girls (0.77). Kappa index varied according to age. When the nutritional status was classified in only two categories - appropriate (thinness + accentuated thinness + eutrophy) and overweight (overweight + obesity + severe obesity) -, the Kappa index presented higher values than those related to the classification in six categories. Conclusions : A substantial agreement was observed between the criteria, being higher in males and varying according to the age.

This study examined a graduated severity level approach to food addiction classification against associations with World Health Organization obesity classifications (body mass index, kg/m2) among 408 people with type 2 diabetes. A survey including the Yale Food Addiction Scale and several demographic questions demonstrated four distinct Yale Food Addiction Scale symptom severity groups (in line with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) severity indicators): non-food addiction, mild food addiction, moderate food addiction and severe food addiction. Analysis of variance with post hoc tests demonstrated each severity classification group was significantly different in body mass index, with each grouping being associated with increased World Health Organization obesity classifications. These findings have implications for diagnosing food addiction and implementing treatment and prevention methodologies of obesity among people with type 2 diabetes.
