The Impact

Introduction: The impact of American Style Football (ASF) participation on cardiovascular health is unclear. Early-life weight gain among ASF athletes is common and is associated with risk of multiple later-life health afflictions. Despite the popularity of ASF participation among the youth, a rigorous comparison of the cardiovascular health profiles between ASF and non-ASF athletes at the high-school level has not been undertaken. We performed an observational cross-sectional study comparing the body mass index and blood pressures of ASF and non-ASF high-school athletes. Methods: Between October 2012 to November 2018 we performed voluntary cardiac screens including height, weight and blood pressure among predominantly high-school students. Inclusion criteria included the following: male sex; >10 hours of exercise per week; single-sport athlete; age >14 years old. Of the 6973 young individuals who underwent screening, 508 athletes were included in the analyzed data. Results: ASF athletes represented 18% of all high-school athletes. The mean age of ASF and non-ASF athletes was 18.5 and 18.0 years, respectively. BMI was higher in ASF athletes compared to non-ASF participating athletes (26.9 vs 21.2 p<0.0001). There was a higher prevalence of class I and class II obesity among ASF athletes (class I obesity: 15% vs 1%; class II obesity: 10% vs 1%, p<0.0001 for each). ASF athletes had an increased systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) compared to non-ASF participating athletes (SBP: 121 vs 114 p<0.0001; DBP: 73 vs 70 p=0.0028). Among all athletes, there was a positive correlation between blood pressure and BMI (SBP: R=0.4149, DBP: R=0.2076, p<0.0001 for each). Conclusions: High-school athletes that participate in ASF have a higher BMI, prevalence of obesity and blood pressure compared to their non-ASF counterparts. It is important to screen young ASF athletes for obesity and hypertension in order to optimize cardiovascular health at an early age.

The Impact

As there is controversy about the prevalence of hypertension in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and, up to the present moment, no studies have evaluated the impact of body mass index (BMI) on blood pressure levels (BP) in these patients, we studied retrospectively sixty-nine patients with PCOS, with BMI of 29.0 ± 6.7 kg/m² and aged 25.6 ± 5.6 yr, subdivided into three groups according to BMI (normal, overweight and obese) and evaluated regarding BP (mercury sphygmomanometer), basal hormonal profile, fasting glucose, and insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR). Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were normal (118.1 ± 17.0 and 74.7 ± 11.5 mmHg, respectively), with a hypertension prevalence of 20.3%. Of these patients, 78.6% were obese and 21.4% were overweight. When the groups were compared according to BMI, a significant increase in SBP and DBP was observed (higher in overweight and obese patients for SBP and higher in obese for DBP), as well as a significant progressive increase in glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment, and a significant progressive decline in LH levels. When the patients were subdivided as normotensive or hypertensive, a significant difference was observed only for BMI (28.2 ± 6.1 and 34.7 ± 8.6 kg/m², respectively; p = 0.007). In conclusion, we observed a significant and progressive impact of BMI on blood pressure levels in our patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background:There are over 7 million US high school athletes and one-third are overweight or obese. Our objective was to examine injury patterns by body mass index (BMI) in high school athletes.Methods:Certified athletic trainers (ATCs) at 100 nationally representative US high schools submitted exposure and injury information during the 2005 to 08 school years via High School RIO (Reporting Information Online). We retrospectively categorized injured athletes as underweight (≤15th percentile), normal weight (15th−85th percentile), overweight (85th−95th percentile), or obese (≥95th percentile).Results:ATCs reported 13,881 injuries during 5,627,921 athlete-exposures (2.47 injuries per 1000 athlete-exposures). Nearly two-thirds (61.4%) of injured high school athletes were normal weight. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was highest among injured football athletes (54.4%). Compared with normal weight athletes, obese athletes sustained a larger proportion of knee injuries (Injury Proportion Ratio [IPR] = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.42) and their injuries were more likely to have resulted from contact with another person (IPR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.26 to 1.37). Compared with normal weight athletes, underweight athletes sustained a larger proportion of fractures (IPR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.92) and a larger proportion of injuries resulting from illegal activity (IPR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.03 to 2.46).Conclusions:Injury patterns differ by BMI. BMI-targeted preventive interventions should be developed to help decrease sports injury rates.

Background:  A trend towards in increase of hypertension in adults and children. If criteria of hypertension according to JNC VII 2003 applied to the population aged 15-17 years in Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension in adolescents was obtained 5.3% nationally. Examination of blood pressure and factors related to blood pressure are of particular importance in children due to the decline in physical activity and weight changes contributing to blood pressure elevations that occur at this point in maturation. Blood pressure levels begin to increase as children approach adolescence. Weight control and physical activity regularly are recommended to prevent blood pressure elevations in both adult and youth.Objective: Determine the relationship between body mass index and physical activity with blood pressure in high school students in Pekanbaru.Method: This is an analytic observational study with cross sectional design. This study was involved 353 high school students in Pekanbaru who meets inclusion and exclusion criteria through cluster sampling technique. Data collected by direct measurements such as weight, height and blood pressure whereas physical activity and characteristic of the subject was collected by questionnaire. The results of the data collection were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis.Results: There is a correlation between body mass index with systolic (p=0.000; r=0.238) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.010; r=0.136). Each increase in 1 kg/m2 body mass index was linked with an increase of 2.339 mmHg systolic blood pressure and 0.979 mmHg diastolic blood pressure. However, there is no correlation between physical activity with systolic (p=0.829) nor diastolic blood pressure (p=0,643). Multivariate analysis showed that sex and screen time activity were factors most dominantly affecting blood pressure.Conclusion: There is a correlation between body mass index with blood pressure. However, there is no correlation between physical activity with blood pressure.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the socioeconomic, demographic and obstetric profile of pregnant women with Gestational Hypertensive Syndrome. Methods: A descriptive and correlational study, conducted in Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand, with 120 pregnant women, through a questionnaire analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: most women had chronic hypertension (60.83%). Regarding the socioeconomic and demographic profile, most pregnant women had a mean age of 30.9 ± 6.9 years, were Catholic, brown skin color, employed, in stable unions, complete high school education, and income of up to R$ 954.00. Regarding the obstetric profile, their Body Mass Index was up to 66, slightly elevated blood pressure, an average of five prenatal consultations, two pregnancies, one delivery and no abortions. Women with chronic hypertension were older (p = 0.0024), had lower gestational age (p = 0.0219) and a higher number of abortions (p = 0.0140). Conclusions: Pregnant women are overweight/obese, with a mean age of 30.9 years and are socially vulnerable. Pregnant women with chronic hypertension are older and have a higher number of abortions.

Abstract BackgroundThe relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality in hypertension patients remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the association and the time-varying effects of different BMI categories on the risk of all-cause mortality in hypertension patients. MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted among 212,394 Chinese people with hypertension. All deaths were identified based on Shanghai Vital Statistics. Cox model combined with time-by-covariate interactions was used to estimate the association and the time-varying effects of BMI on the risk of all-cause mortality. The potential non-linear effects across follow-up period for BMI were examined by the application of restricted cubic spline (RCS).ResultsOverall, 31,130 deaths occurred (14.7%) within an average follow-up of 8.24 years. Underweight (<18.5 kg/m2) showed a progressively weakening negative effect on all-cause mortality over time. For both sexes, overweight (23.0-24.9 kg/m2) and class I obesity (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) showed protective effects within 5 years after registration, but these became insignificant in later years. There was no significant difference in the effect on all-cause mortality between class II obesity (≥30.0 kg/m2) and normal weight. in the elderly patients, overweight, class I obesity and class II obesity had continuous protective effects on mortality.ConclusionsAlthough the effect of baseline body mass index on the risk of all-cause mortality varied at different follow-up periods, underweight persistently remained a risk factor for all-cause mortality in hypertension, whereas overweight and class I obesity had protective effects. Thus, in the long-term management of hypertension, more attention should be given to underweight patients.

The Impact

Obesity is considered as a public health problem that affects all age groups in the population. Genetic factors are considered as one of the non-modifiable risk factors, causing obesity. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition that is associated with vague symptoms. The ABO blood type is one of the fundamental genetic factors that can give important information for early detection of risky population. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different blood groups on body mass index and blood pressure. The design of this study is a cross-sectional study, included 250 participants (144 males and 106 females), aged between 18-70 years were selected from the population of Al-Najaf Governorate, Iraq, through a period which extends from October 2019 to February 2020.  The blood groups were determined for each participant; blood pressure and body mass index were also measured. The results of a current study revealed that from this 250 participants there was 115 were obese person, 82 were overweight person, 51 were normal weight, and 2 were underweight persons. In the obese group, the blood group B has the highest percentage (45.2% ) followed by blood group A and O that were found to have the same percentage (22.6%), while the blood group AB has the lower percentage (9.6%). On the other hand, there was no significant relationship between hypertension and ABO blood groups.

Abstract Background The “obesity paradox” has not been elucidated in the long-term outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We investigated the association between obesity and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in ACS patients with and without diabetes. Methods We identified 6978 patients with ACS aged 40–79 years from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort between 2002 and 2015. Baseline body mass index (BMI) was categorized as underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5–22.9 kg/m2), overweight (23.0–24.9 kg/m2), obese class I (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), and obese class II (≥ 30.0 kg/m2). The primary outcome was major adverse CV events (MACE)—CV death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke. The secondary outcomes were the individual components of MACE, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), and all-cause death. Results After adjustment for confounding variables, compared to normal-weight patients without diabetes (reference group), obese class I patients with and without diabetes had a lower risk of MACE, but only significant in patients without diabetes (with diabetes: hazard ratio [HR] 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–1.14; without diabetes: HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.62–0.97). Obese class II patient with diabetes had a higher risk of MACE with no statistical significance (HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.82–1.59). Underweight patients with and without diabetes had a higher risk of MACE, but only significant in patients with diabetes (with diabetes: HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.24–2.58; without diabetes: HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.77–1.97). Conclusion In ACS patients, obesity had a protective effect on CV outcomes, especially in patients without diabetes.

Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of systolic heart failure that occurs during pregnancy or in the early post-partum period. Obesity is known to be associated with other forms of heart failure in young adults, however it is unclear if it is also a risk factor for the development of PPCM. Objectives: To investigate the association of body mass index (BMI) with PPCM and heart failure in the years following childbirth. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of pregnant women in the Danish National Patient Registry between 2004 - 2017. Baseline characteristics and other risk factors were obtained at the first prenatal visit (occurring at 8-11 weeks post-conception). Women were followed until the end of the study period, emigration, or death. Logistic regression was performed, adjusting for age as well as other known risk factors for PPCM. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the long-term risk of development of heart failure. Results: There were 403,820 pregnancies evaluated in 300,892 women, with an average age of 29 years. The average BMI was 24.4 kg/m2, with 21.6% classified as overweight (BMI 25 - 30 kg/m2) and 12.8% as obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2). The rate of PPCM was 0.1 per 1,000 in normal weight and overweight groups, and 0.3 per 1,000 in the obese women. After adjustment for age, ethnicity, smoking status, gestational diabetes, and presence of preeclampsia, there was a statistically significant increased risk of the development of PPCM up to 6 months after childbirth in patients who had class I (odds ratio [OR] 2.25, 95% CI 1.08-4.68) but not class II/III obesity (OR 1.63, 95% CI 0.60-4.43). This elevated risk persisted during long term follow up, with hazard ratios of 2.43 (95% CI 1.55 - 3.80) in women with class I obesity and 3.20 (95% CI 1.93 - 5.30) in women with class II/III obesity. Conclusions: High early pregnancy BMI is associated with elevated risk of development of peripartum cardiomyopathy even after adjustment for traditional risk factors. This risk of heart failure persists for several years after childbirth.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined impact of obesity and physical activity (PA) on the health of older adults. Pedometer-determined steps/d, body-mass index (BMI), resting blood pressure, and fasting glucose (FG) were assessed in 137 older adults (69.0 ± 8.9 yr). The active group (>4,227 steps/d) had lower systolic blood pressure (SBP;p= .001), diastolic blood pressure (DBP;p= .028), and FG (p< .001) than the inactive group (≤4,227 steps/d). The normal-BMI group (18.5-24.9 kg/m2) had lower SBP (p< .001) and DBP (p= .01) than the obese group (≤30 kg/m2). There were no differences in SBP (p= .963) or DBP (p= 1.0) between active obese and inactive normal-BMI groups. The active obese group, however, had a more favorable FG than the inactive normal-BMI group (χ2= 18.9,df= 3,p= .001). Efforts to increase PA of older adults should receive the same priority as reducing obesity to improve BP and FG levels.
