Objective The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between obesity and decreased mobility of the talocrural joint and in turn chronic venous disease. Subjects and methods One hundred obese patients recruited at Hospital Santa Casa de Maringa, Parana were enrolled by order of arrival at the hospital in a randomized quantitative cross-sectional study. Inclusion criteria were patients with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2 and the exclusion criteria were infectious conditions that would interfere with the assessment. Patients were graded according to the clinical, etiological, anatomical and pathophysiological classification. Talocrural goniometry was performed to assess the degree of mobility of the legs. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Dunn's Multiple comparison test and analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis tests with an alpha error of 5% being considered acceptable. Results The increase in body mass index is correlated to the reduction in joint mobility (Kruskal–Wallis test: p-value <0.0001) and increase in clinical, etiological, anatomical and pathophysiological classification is correlated to a decrease in joint mobility and the increase in age is associated with an increase in clinical, etiological, anatomical and pathophysiological classification (Kruskal–Wallis test: p-value <0.0001). Conclusion Obesity is associated with deterioration in joint mobility and worsening of chronic venous disease.

Introduction: Acne vulgaris is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease of pilosebaceous unit. Obesity is one of the biggest problems in western life style but nowadays, the problem is increasing even in low and middle-income countries. Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to accurately measure obesity.Objective: To find out the association between different categories of BMI and severity of acne.Materials and methods: This was a cross sectional prospective study conducted in the outpatient department of Gandaki Medical College from January to July, 2017. All the newly diagnosed patients with acne were included in the study. Height and weight of the patients was recorded and BMI was calculated. BMI was categorized as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. Type of lesions were noted and severity of acne was graded from 1 to 4.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 17.0 for windows. One-way Analysis of Variance between groups (ANOVA) test was applied. P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: There were altogether 249 patients with acne. Age of the patients ranged from 10 to 44 years with mean age of 20.82 ±5.9 years. Most of the patients were in the age group of 11-20 years. Female: male ratio was 1:1.4. Majority of patients (65.5%) had normal BMI. Most of the patients had Grade 2 acne (52.6%). There was no significant association between the BMI and severity of acne (p=0.129).Conclusion: There was no significant association between BMI and severity of acne.

Musculosceletal complaints are a complaint on the skeletal muscle sections felt by a person starting from a very mild to very painful complaint. If the muscles receive static loads repeatedly and over a long period of time, they can cause complaints of joints, ligaments and tendons. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between job factors (work postur of patient lifting and load weight) and individual factors (age, body mass index (BMI), exercise habits and working period) with musculosceletal disorders (MSD’s) complaint on inpatient room nurses at Teluk Kuantan General Hospital. The type of research is a quantitative using method observasional analytic with cross sectional study design. Research was conducted on June-July 2018. In this study a sample of 56 nurses inpatient rooms at Teluk Kuantan General Hospital, all nurses were used as research samples. Data was analyzed by univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. The result of this research was 66,1% proportion of musculosceletal disorders complaining. Variables related to musculoskeletal complaints are work posture and working period. Confounding variables are weight and age. Unrelated variables are body mass index and exercise habits. The conclusion of this study is that the work period is the most dominant variable influencing musculoskeletal disorders with (p-value=0,007; OR: 17,949; 95% CI: 2,212-145,619). It is recommended for nurses to pay attention to the correct way of lifting patients so that they can adjust to body posture, and for K3RS should more active in providing training related to ergonomic patient handling.

This study investigated how psychological distress and the proxies for social position combine to influence the risk of both underweight and overweight in South Africans aged 15 years and older. This was a cross-sectional study that included 2254 men and 4170 women participating in the first South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES-1). An analysis exploring the associations of social and mental health characteristics with body mass index (BMI) was conducted using binary and multinomial logistic regressions. Results suggested that, overall, women had a higher risk of overweight/obesity compared to men (age-adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 4.65; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 3.94–5.50). The gender effect on BMI was smaller in non-African participants (AOR 3.02; 95% CI 2.41–3.79; p-value for interaction = 0.004). Being employed and having a higher level of education were associated with higher risks of overweight and obesity and a lower risk of underweight. Being single or without a spouse and poor mental health were found to increase the odds of being underweight, especially in men. To conclude, there are strong social gradients and important gender and ethnic differences in how BMI is distributed in the South African population.

Public Health Burden

Background: Diabetes is a growing public health burden across the world, particularly in the developing countries. Homeostasis of the trace elements such as magnesium has been found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and diabetic complications. Studies had found out an association between serum magnesium and incident diabetes; where diabetes may induce urinary magnesium loss. But in pre-diabetes, serum glucose levels are below the threshold for urinary magnesium wasting and hence unlikely to influence serum magnesium levels. This study was done to assess their serum magnesium levels and find its correlation.Methods: This cross sectional study was done among 120 pre-diabetic subjects. Pre-diabetes was diagnosed as per ADA guidelines and body mass index was calculated according to Asian guidelines of BMI. Serum magnesium levels were done for all of them and statistically analysed to correlate the serum magnesium with body mass.Results: The present study observed that 69 out of 120 pre-diabetics, 57.5% have low magnesium levels. This study showed that 57.5% of pre-diabetics is having normal body mass index, out of which more than half of them are having normal serum magnesium. But out of 12 obese pre-diabetics, 11 were having low serum magnesium 91.6%. (P value 0.026 which is statistically significant).Conclusions: This study observed that serum magnesium levels are low in Pre-diabetics. Significant hyomagnesemia has been seen in pre-diabetics with high BMI compared to those with normal BMI.

The Impact

Association between chronic venous disease and obesity has recently been studied, with indications that it may worsen in obese patients. The aim of study was to correlate clinical classes of chronic venous disease according to Clinical Etiology Anatomy Pathophysiology (CEAP) classification and body mass index, as well as to compare the severity of chronic venous disease in obese and nonobese patients. This retrospective cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted at the Maringá State University and Belczak Vascular Center along a period of 2 years, consisting of a random sample of 482 patients with complaints compatible with chronic venous disease. Data obtained from patient’s files included gender, age, weight and height (for calculating body mass index), and clinical class (C) of chronic venous disease according to CEAP classification. Statistical analysis included Spearman’s correlation coefficient, Chi-square test (for comparing frequencies), and Student’s t-test (for comparing means). Significant positive correlation between body mass index and clinical classes was established for women (0.43), but not for men (0.07). Obesity (body mass index ≥ 30.0) was significantly more frequent in patients with chronic venous disease in clinical classes 3 (p < 0.001) and 4 (p = 0.002) and less frequent in patients with chronic venous disease in clinical class 1 (p < 0.001). This study evidenced significant correlation between body mass index and clinical classes of chronic venous disease in women, but not in men. It also corroborated the negative impact of obesity on the clinical severity of chronic venous disease.
