Background: The colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third among the most nationally prevalent cancers. Several factors including lifestyle modifications are interacting for the emergency of this disease. Morocco has experienced an epidemiologic transition accompanied by the adoption of an unhealthy lifestyle and the physical activity and the sedentary behavior changes. Aim: This study aimed to identify the association between sedentary lifestyle and the onset risk of CRC in Morocco. Methods: This is a national multicenter study of cases/controls which were matched on the sex, age and the recruiting center. All data are collected through a retrospective questionnaire including socio-demographic characters and the lifestyle behaviors (physical activity and sedentary). A sedentary person is defined as being more than 4 hours in a sitting or lying position, at work, at home, during travel, excluding time spent on sleep. Conditional logistic regression was performed to assess the association between sedentary behavior and CRC risk taking into account confounders. Data entry and data analyses were performed by SPSS software 20. Results: In total, 1453 couples (case/control) have been included in this study. 50.2% had colon cancer and 49.8% had rectal cancer. The average age were respectively 56.45 ± 13.95 years and 55.50 ± 13.70 years. For the sex, there were 49.3% male and 50.7% female in each group (case/control). The majority of the cases and controls fall into the poor class. The majority of the cases (43.7%) are overweight with a BMI between 25 and 29.9, 38.7% have a normal weight with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. For controls, patients with normal weight (45.6%) and those with overweight (43%) represent the majority. With regard to sedentary behavior, we note that cases are more sedentary (as being >4 hours in a sitting or lying position, at work, at home, during travel, excluding time spent on sleep) than controls with a percentage of 40.5% cases vs 36.2% of controls and a significant difference between cases and controls with OR = 1.19 (1.03-1.39), P = 10−3. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that sedentary lifestyle is an overall risk factor for CRC. The issue of sedentary life is a major public health issue. Efforts must be made to address this sedentary problem, which will become an even more important health problem in the age of technology, with the massive use of activities that further entrap sedentary life such as social networks.

Objetivo. En este estudió se pretendió un objetivo doble; 1) Constatar las diferencias entre niños asmáticos con sobrepeso y normopeso en cuanto a CVRS y cantidad de actividad física y sedentarismo y 2) Determinar la relación existente entre cantidad de actividad física, sedentarismo e IMC y su influencia en la CVRS de esta población en Sevilla. Método. Se usó un diseño de cohorte que incluyó a 69 niños en edad escolar con asma persistente controlado. Las medidas incluidas en el estudio fueron: el cuestionario PAQL(S), para evaluar la CVRS de los niños y el cuestionario IPAQ-A, para evaluar la cantidad de actividad física y sedentarismo de los niños. También se calculó el IMC y se determinó si el participante estaba en normopeso o sobrepeso. Resultados. Los niños con sobrepeso obtuvieron peores valores en CVRS e IPAQ-A que sus pares con normopeso. Además se observaron correlaciones positivas entre el IMC y la cantidad de sedentarismo y negativas entre el IMC y también entre éste y el valor en las escalas de valoración de la CVRS. Conclusión. El IMC afecta negativamente a la CVRS a los niños asmáticos en edad escolar. Palabras clave: niños asmáticos, enfermedad crónica, hábitos de vida, ejercicio físico.Abstract: Objective. The aim of this study was: 1) To determine the differences between normal-weight asthmatic children and overweight asthmatic children in terms of HRQoL and amount of physical activity and sedentary and 2) To determine the relationship between amount of physical activity, sedentary and BMI and their influence on the HRQoL of this population in Seville. Method. We used a cohort design study that included 69 school-age children with controlled persistent asthma. The measures included in the study were: the questionnaire PAQL (S), to assess the HRQoL of children and the IPAQ-A questionnaire to assess the amount of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle of children. BMI was also calculated and determined if the participant was of normal-weight or overweight.

Acharya sushruta said to be swastha whoes dosha,dhatu, agni, mala are in the state of in equilibrium along with mental, sensory and spiritual happiness. Medovridhi is a condition is of excess body fat for their height, medovridhi can affect any person from young children to older adults. there are many causes of medovridhi such as overeating, genetics, hormones, lack of physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, junk food etc.  Among them sedentary life-a kind of life which has less or no physical activity at all e.g. desk jobs, sleeping too much, sitting for long hours without reasons. Junk food like-like fried chicken, ice-cream, pizza, sandwiches, chips etc. is an unhealthy diet that is high in trans and saturated fats. In obesity (medovridhi) there is imbalance state of med dhatu which affect health of a person and prevalence rate of medovridhi is very high (16.6 in Maharashtra). Medovridhi is a burning issue for all the countries, it causes the number of health problems. Ayurvedic acharyas had mentioned the above condition and explained in detailed causes, sign, symptoms, and treatment.

Complex Relationships

Perhaps the greatest barriers to achieving major advances in public health in the twenty-first century result from the paralysis of the pandemic paradigm or from the widespread inability to envision alternative or new models of thought. Human movement represents a complex behavior that is influenced by personal motivation, health and mobility problems, genetic factors, and the social and physical environments in which people live. These factors exert an influence on the propensity to engage in sedentary behaviors as well as physical activity. However, the biological, social and environmental pathways leading to sedentary behavior versus physical activity may be different. In addition, the health effects associated with sedentary behavior and physical activity may be the result of different biological mechanisms. Thus, our objective was to discuss the importance of physical exercise for health and the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. Research on sedentary behavior has been growing; however, the evidence for its determinants is relatively sparse. More studies are needed to obtain more conclusive results, because it is fundamental to understand these complex relationships related to the practice and the acquisition of active and healthy lifestyles as opposed to a sedentary lifestyle.

Abstract Background Robotic resections represent a novel approach to treatment of colorectal cancer. The aim of our study was to critically assess the implementation of robotic colorectal surgical program at our institution and to compare it to the established laparoscopically assisted surgery. Patients and methods A retrospective case-control study was designed to compare outcomes of consecutively operated patients who underwent elective laparoscopic or robotic colorectal resections at a tertiary academic centre from 2019 to 2020. The associations between patient characteristics, type of operation, operation duration, conversions, duration of hospitalization, complications and number of harvested lymph nodes were assessed by using univariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 83 operations met inclusion criteria, 46 robotic and 37 laparoscopic resections, respectively. The groups were comparable regarding the patient and operative characteristics. The operative time was longer in the robotic group (p < 0.001), with fewer conversions to open surgery (p = 0.004), with less patients in need of transfusions (p = 0.004) and lower reoperation rate (p = 0.026). There was no significant difference between the length of stay (p = 0.17), the number of harvested lymph nodes (p = 0.24) and the overall complications (p = 0.58). Conclusions The short-term results of robotic colorectal resections were comparable to the laparoscopically assisted operations with fewer conversions to open surgery, fewer blood transfusions and lower reoperation rate in the robotic group.

Present Systematic Review

The COVID-19 pandemic altered activities of societies, forced closures at the national level in several countries, populations had to isolate themselves at home. Different studies have been initiated that allow us to understand the changes in behaviors related to physical activity and sedentary lifestyle in populations. The objective of this work was the analysis of the importance of physical activity in COVID-19 times. A systematic review was carried out and a questionnaire was applied to the population that performs physical activity in parks of Puebla City, Mexico. The results of the present systematic review suggest that engaging in even light physical activity during the pandemic can help eliminate some of the negative impacts on the health of populations. Since those who experience a decrease in physical activity also have higher levels of stress and anxiety. The data obtained from the questionnaire applied to the study population showed a participation of 54% men and 46% women, ages 14-70 years for men and 18-69 years for women. Regarding the time they perform physical activity, men reported 2-3 days (40.74%), 4-5 days (29.62%) and >5 days (29.62%), women 2-3 days (17.39%), 4-5 days (52.17%) and >5 days (30.43%). Regarding the time that men spend sitting <3 hours (14.81%), 4-8 hours (70.37%) and >8 hours (14.81%), women <3 hours (13.04%), 4-8 hours (65.21%) and >8 hours (21.73%). The variables of practiced time of physical activity, days a week, minutes a day and hours sitting between men and women showed no significant difference (P>0.05). It is recommended that populations get involved in physical activities in order to maintain a better quality of life and thus mitigate the phenomena associated with confinement due to the pandemic.
