Weight Change Pattern

Stigmatization of overweight and obese individuals is common in interpersonal relationships. This study investigated longitudinal weight change patterns among Taiwanese adolescents and the relationship of weight change patterns with delayed romantic experience from late adolescence to young adulthood by using a representative panel survey. Individuals were divided into six weight change pattern categories according to changes in their body mass index. Two-stage stratified and clustered sampling was used to obtain a representative student sample, and 1,834 junior high school students were followed up over 7 years. Persistent obesity and a change from an underweight to a normal weight status over 7 years were independently associated with delayed romantic experience in both sexes. Moreover, females but not males who changed from an underweight or normal weight status to an overweight or obese status had increased odds of delayed romantic experience. Persistent obesity should be addressed early in life because it plays a crucial role in delayed romantic experience.

Abstract:Glucosuria is the condition when glucose excreted into the urine. Supposedly urine does not contain glucose, because renal filtration will absorb glucose back into the blood circulation. One of the factors that could cause glucosuri is obesity. When plasma glucose level in obese adolescents still in normal range, it would not lead to the secretion of glucose in urine. Otherwise, if the plasma glucose levels are higher than normal, kidneys cannot be longer resist the renal threshold value for glucose (180 g/day) and there will be a partial excretion of glucose in urine.This study aimed to look the glucose urine level in children, obese and non-obese, at St. Rafael junior high school students Manado. This study was held on September to December 2014. This was a descriptive study with cross-sectional design. Samples were 100 teenagers that met the inclusion criteria who had nutritional status of obese and normal weight, and were willing to become respondents. The results showed that glucose in the urine of 100 samples wich divided into 50 samples of obese and 50 samples of non-obese were negative in both groups. Conclusion: There was no correlation between obesity and glucosuria in obese teenagers since their urine glucose levels did not reach the kidney treshold.Keywords: glucosuria , obesity , normal weight.Abstrak: Glukosuria adalah ekskresi glukosa ke dalam urin. Seharusnya dalamurin tidak mengandung glukosa, karena ginjal akan menyerap glukosa hasil filtrasi kembali ke dalam sirkulasi darah. Salah satu faktor yang dapat menyebabkan glukosuri adalah obesitas. Padaremajadengan obesitas apabilakadar gula plasma masih dalam keadaan normal maka tidak akan menyebabkan terjadinya sekresi glukosa dalam urin. Sebaliknya, bila obesitas dengan kadar glukosa plasma lebih dari normal sehingga ginjal tidak bisa lagi menahan nilai ambang batas ginjal untuk glukosa (180 g/hari) maka akan terjadi eksresi sebagian glukosa melalui urin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat adakah glukosa dalam urin pada anak remaja obes dan tidak obes pada siswa-siswi SLTP St.Rafael Manado. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan September-Desember 2014. Jenis penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan rancangan potong lintang. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 100 orang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi yaitu remaja, memiliki status gizi obesitas dan berat badan normal, dan bersedia menjadi responden. Hasil pemeriksaan glukosa dalam urin pada 100 sampel yang terbagi dalam 50 sampel obes dan 50 sampel tidak obes adalah negatif. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara obesitas dengan glukosuria pada remaja obes yang belum mencapai ambang batas ginjal.Kata kunci: glukosuri, obesitas, berat badan normal.

Positive Correlation

Obesity trends show that the prevalence of obesity is increasing drastically and that younger age groups are increasingly at risk. The purposes of this study were to determine if there are discernable differences between behaviors of high school students and college students and also between college students of normal weight and college students who are overweight/obese. This IRB-approved study surveyed approximately 80 high school seniors and 80 Indiana University students of various class standings. The study was developed from a survey published in 1989 in Seventeen Magazine called “May Obesity Survey.” The questions collected data related to age, BMI, and lifestyle, including physical activity levels, stress, and behavior. The software SPSS was used to perform statistical analysis. The findings showed a positive correlation (p<.001, r=.616) between students’ self-reported weight category and actual BMI (calculated by reported height and weight). College students with healthy BMIs exercise 4-6 times/week, while overweight and obese students exercise 1-3 times/week Χ2 (3) =8.95, p<.05. In addition, college students of normal weight are three times more likely to perform exercises of moderate to high intensity, such as strength training. A significant positive correlation was also found between the number of hours college students spent during weekends watching television, using a computer, or playing video games and body weight Χ2 (3) =8.75, p< .05. Equal numbers of normal weight and overweight/obese college students report desire to improve their health. One of the primary findings indicates that students are either not aware of their true weight status or willing to admit it to others. Therefore, increased education about the BMI index and consequences of excess weight may be the first step in fighting college obesity.

We examined whether caregiver cooking skills were associated with frequency of home cooking, child dietary behaviors, and child body weight status in Japan. We used cross-sectional data from the 2018 Adachi Child Health Impact of Living Difficulty study, targeting primary and junior high school students aged 9–14 years in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan (n = 5257). Caregiver cooking skills were assessed using a scale with good validity and reliability modified for use in Japan. Child heights and weights derived from school heath checkup data were used to calculate WHO standard body mass index z-scores. After adjusting for potential confounders, caregivers with low-level cooking skills were 4.31 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.68–6.94) times more likely to have lower frequency of home cooking than those with high level of cooking skills. Children with low-level caregiver cooking skills were 2.81 (95% CI: 2.06–3.84) times more likely to have lower frequency of vegetable intake and 1.74 (95% CI: 1.08–2.82) times more likely to be obese. A low level of caregiver cooking skills was associated with infrequent home cooking, unhealthy child dietary behaviors, and child obesity.

In adolescence, the competence of interpersonal relations develops and increase. However, students still face some problems during puberty. These include being ostracized, mocking each other, an unpleasant class atmosphere, isolations, and selfishness. To overcome these problems, guiding and counseling services are needed. Nevertheless, for it to be effective, it is important to understand students' interpersonal issues accurately. The purpose of this study therefore was to describe the nature of interpersonal relationships among students in junior high school. The sample population consisted of 133 junior high school students selected by proportional random sampling technique. Furthermore the instrument used is the scale of interpersonal relations with reliability 0.881. Data analysis used a quantitative approach with descriptive methods. The results therefore showed interpersonal relationships among students were advanced, having an average score of 206.77 and anachievement rate of 78%. The findings of this study might be used by counselors to improve students' interpersonal relationships.

Academic Year

School absenteeism, particularly among junior high school students, has increased annually in Japan. This study demonstrates the relationship between subjective adjustment to school life and students’ absenteeism. Data were collected from 17,378 junior high school students in Japan. A longitudinal design was used for the study. Teachers were asked to distribute the Adaptation Scale for School Environments on Six Spheres (ASSESS) questionnaire to junior high school students and ask the students to fill out the questionnaire at the beginning of the 2014 academic year in April 2014, and the relationship between their subjective adjustment and absenteeism as measured by the total number of absent days during the 2014 academic year was evaluated by logistic regression and a survival analysis model. Low life satisfaction was associated with absences. The corresponding odds ratio (OR) was higher for seventh graders (OR 3.29, confidence interval (CI): 2.41–4.48, hazard ratio (HR) 5.57, CI: 3.51–8.84) than for students in other grades. Interpersonal relationships were significantly related to absenteeism for seventh and eighth graders in the group with scores less than 39 points. Lower adjustment to learning seemed to be related to absenteeism for seventh and eighth graders. For effective interventions, a well-designed study that uses detailed information regarding life-related covariates is necessary.
