Aim. To assess age and sex characteristics of hostility among the population of a medium urban Siberian city.Material and methods. Cross-sectional epidemiological studies were carried out among men and women aged 25-64 years in Tyumen; the response rate was 85,0% among men and 70,3% among women. To assess hostility, the algorithms of the WHO program MONICA-Psychosocial were used. There were low, moderate and high levels of hostility. Low hostility was considered the population norm.Results. In the open population of a medium urban Siberian city, an unfavorable data was found for the hostility prevalence. High levels of hostility were revealed in both men and women in the whole age range. However, a high level of hostility prevailed among women compared to general population values by age and in four decades of life.Conclusion. The data obtained will help to develop evidence-based prevention programs based on the effects on psychosocial factors taking into account age and sex characteristics.

The aim of the study was to determine the levels of depression and life exhaustion in men and women of the open urban population in the age range. Materials and methods. A single-stage epidemiological study was conducted among people of both sexes aged 25-64 in Tyumen. A representative sample was formed from the electoral lists of citizens by the method of "random numbers" - 2000 men and women with a response among men 85.0%, among women - 70.3%. The study of depression was conducted according to the algorithms of the program of the world health organization "MONICA-psychosocial". Results. The prevalence of depression in the Tyumen population and in the age and sex groups showed a predominance of the average level over the high, in the age categories 25-34 and 35-44 years - significantly higher prevalence of high levels of depression in women. The higher prevalence of the average level of men and women IN the open population was determined to be relatively high. The average level of LIFE significantly prevails in women in the older age categories and in the population as a whole, the high level of LIFE - at the age of 25-34 years in women and at the age of 55-64 years in men. Conclusion. Therefore, in the open population of the middle-urbanized Siberian city there is a need to form an integrated approach to the prevention of non-infectious diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases, as it is established that prevention programs lead to a reduction in the burden of depression and, and effective approaches to the prevention of psycho-emotional States at the level of individual communities include school-oriented programs to teach positive thinking among the population, starting from a young age.

Aim. To establish parameters of physical activity (PA) and work capacity among men and women in an open population of Western Siberia city, depending on age.Material and methods. Cross-sectional epidemiological studies were carried out among open male and female population of a middle-urbanized city of Western Siberia (Tyumen). Representative samples of 1000 people aged 25-64 years (250 people in each life decade) were analyzed. PA and work capacity were determined according to the WHO MONICA-psychosocial questionnaire “Awareness and Attitude towards Health”.Results. Age-related trends among young men of middle urbanized Western Siberia city were manifested by PA increase during the last year (in 25-34 yearage group — in 20,9%, in the general population — in 13,8% (p=0,0205)). During the last year, a decrease and an increase in work capacity was revealed in young women (33,6%) and young men (17,5%), respectively. Age-related trends among middle-aged people of both sexes were manifested by low self-esteem — in men by the sixth decade of life (0,6% vs 8,9%, p=0,0002), in women — by the fifth decade of life (3,4% vs 8,2%, p=0,0442). In men, with a decrease in PA and work capacity during the last year, an increase in outdoor activities was revealed (15,8% vs 27,7%, p=0,0020).Conclusion. Since the promotion of physical literacy should be among the state priorities, the presented data can serve as the basis for planning populationbased preventive measures, intended for working-age men and women in middleurbanized Siberian cities.

Aim. To assess the associations between depression and coronary artery disease (CAD) in an open female and male population of a middle-urbanized city of Western Siberia.Material and methods. Two cross-sectional epidemiological studies were carried out on an open population of a middle-urbanized Siberian city among men and women aged 25-64 years old. The prevalenceof CAD was assessed based on standard epidemiological methods. To determine the severity of depression, the algorithms of the WHO program MONICA-Psychosocial were used. The severity of depression was assessed as low, moderate, and high. On the basis of the algorithm, the levels of depression were established: low and moderate levels — no sign, high level — presence of a sign.Results. In an open population of 25-64 years old, a moderately urbanized Siberian city, the prevalence of CAD according to extended and lax epidemiological criteria prevailed in men, while strict epidemiological criteria did not reveal significant differences in the male and female subpopulations. In the female subpopulation, a tendency towards an increase in the prevalence of a high level of depression was revealed due to its predominance in young age groups.It has been shown that the depression increases the probability of detecting CAD in accordance with the expanded epidemiological criteria in men and women by 21,07 and 16,04 times, respectively.Conclusion. When using epidemiological criteria for CAD in the presence of depression, the probability of detecting CAD is higher, both in men and women. At the same time, the highest odds ratios are characteristic for a certain type of CAD, the least — CAD by probable signs.

Abstract Background To date research investigating the associations between handgrip strength and multimorbidity when stratifying by age and sex is limited. Furthermore, this is the first study in a Korean population, and the first to include adults ≥ 19 years of age. Here we investigated the associations between handgrip strength and multimorbidity in Korean adults aged ≥ 19 years. Methods In this cross-sectional study data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. Multimorbidity was defined as having two or more chronic diseases. A total of 19,779 participants were eligible for the study (8,730 male and 11,409 female). We grouped and analysed participants based on age and sex (men and women aged 19–49 years, men and women aged 50–80 years) and examined the associations between handgrip strength and multimorbidity using multivariate logistic regressions using stratification by age, sex and body mass index (BMI). Results Multivariate logistic regressions revealed a significant inverse association irrespective of sex, between relative handgrip strength and multimorbidity. Participants with the lowest handgrip strength had a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) of multimorbidity (men aged 19–49 years: 3.76 and aged 50–80 years: 2.11; women aged 19–49 years: 1.52 and aged 50–80 years: 2.15) when compared to those with highest handgrip strength after adjusting for confounding variables. The highest OR was observed in men aged 19–49 years with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Conclusion In the current study we observed a significant inverse relationship between handgrip strength and multimorbidity in males and females with two or more chronic diseases. Male participants with a low handgrip strength aged between 19–49 years with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 may be at greater risk of multimorbidity. This study highlights the need for further longitudinal studies to investigate the effects of increasing handgrip strength combined with weight loss, as an effective strategy to reduce the incidence of multimorbidity

Background: Although several studies have reported associations of general and regional adiposity with hypertension risk, limited data are available in multi-ethnic cohorts. Methods: Cross-sectional associations of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and peripheral circumference measures (neck [NC], arm [AC], hips [HC], and thigh [TC]) with hypertension risk was examined in a cohort of 504 multi-ethnic men and women (mean age, 46 years; 76% women; 23% Caucasian, 31% African-American, and 46% Hispanic). Patients were recruited from a community free clinic (Forsyth County, NC) to participate in the Take Off the Pressure Study (TOPS) during April to September, 2011. Associations of adiposity measures with hypertension risk by ethnicity were assessed using logistic regression after adjusting for age and sex. Results: Overall, 49% of participants (51%, 76%, and 29% of Caucasians, African-Americans, and Hispanics, respectively) had hypertension (BP >140/90 or previous diagnosis). Positive associations with hypertension risk were observed for BMI, WC, AC, HC and NC among Caucasians, and for WC among Hispanics ( Table ). In other words, Caucasians with higher BMI, and larger waist, arm, hip, and neck circumferences, and Hispanics with a larger waist circumference, were more likely to have hypertension. Notably, each 1-inch increase in arm and neck circumference was associated with 30% and 56% higher risks of hypertension, respectively among whites. However, no significant associations between any adiposity measure and hypertension risk were observed among African-Americans. Conclusion: Hypertension was highly prevalent in this cohort, particularly among African-Americans. However, adiposity markers used to assess hypertension risk in Caucasians may not apply to individuals of other ethnicities. Table. Age- and sex-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for hypertension by adiposity indicator/ethnicity Caucasian (n = 117) African-American (n = 156) Hispanic (n = 231) BMI (per kg/m 2 ) 1.09 (1.03-1.15) 1.03 (0.99-1.08) 1.03 (0.97-1.08) Waist circ (per in) 1.11 (1.04-1.18) 1.05 (0.99-1.11) 1.06 (1.00-1.11) Arm circ (per in) 1.30 (1.05-1.62) 1.11 (0.94-1.31) 1.11 (0.93-1.33) Thigh circ (per in) 1.06 (0.93-1.20) 1.09 (0.97-1.21) 0.98 (0.87-1.10) Hip circ (per in) 1.09 (1.02-1.17) 1.04 (0.99-1.10) 1.03 (0.97-1.10) Neck circ (per in) 1.56 (1.19-2.03) 1.15 (0.90-1.47) 1.14 (0.91-1.44)

The WHO Meeting of Investigators on Methodology of Twin Studies was held in Geneva from 24 October to 1 November 1965. The meeting was opened by Dr L. Verhoestraete, Director, Division of Health Protection and Promotion, who welcomed the participants. He said that this meeting of geneticists, epidemiologists and clinicians had been called to review the possible contribution of twin studies, a recognized tool in genetic research, to the broader field of epidemiological investigations, where so far they had found comparatively little use.Professor D. D. Reid was elected Chairman; Professor L. Gedda, Vice-Chairman and Dr R. Cederlöf, Rapporteur.Studies of general population characteristics include vital statistics such as mortality and morbidity data which are obtained on a routine basis. These data constitute one of the best sources of raw material for epidemiological studies and provide easily accessible information for basic research and for programme planning in control of disease. Very often they raise questions concerning the epidemiology of chronic disease, which may help delineate the relevant factors and provide guiding hypotheses for further research in this field. A deeper understanding of disease may also be arrived at through the study of individual characteristics in cross-sectional, retrospective and prospective studies, and through experimental investigations. A cross-sectional study can be used not only in determining prevalence of disease in a population, but it can also serve as the base-point for a longitudinal study of chronic diseases.

Introduction: Creation of anthropometric database in any age group is one of the most important issues in designing and manufacturing of used equipment. The aim of this study was to determine the anthropometric characteristics of nurses of kindergartens and preschools in Isfahan in the age range of 2 to 6 years and to create an information reference.Materials and Methods: In this applied study, 700 healthy male and female boys were selected randomly from cluster sampling from nursery schoolchildren and preschools in Isfahan city. 36 anthropometric measurements of them were cross-sectional in the academic year 1396 to 1397. And indicators and statistical percentiles (5.50 and 95) were extracted.Results: Statistical indexes and percentiles were presented as an anthropometric database in 5 age groups and in two sex groups. Age and sex were influenced by most anthropometric variables and significant difference (P <0.05). .Conclusion: The age and sex are two factors affecting anthropometric variables. Therefore, it is necessary to use the anterpometric database of the same age group and gender in the design of the equipment.

Background.The importance of assessing body fat variables and physical fitness tests play an important role in monitoring the level of activity and physical fitness of the general population. The objective of this study was to develop reference norms to evaluate the physical fitness aptitudes of children and adolescents based on age and sex from the lake region of Itaipú, Brazil. Methods.A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 5,962 students (2938 males and 3,024 females) with an age range of 6.0 and 17.9 years. Weight (kg), height (cm), and triceps (mm), and sub-scapular skinfolds (mm) were measured. Body Mass Index (BMI kg/m2) was calculated. To evaluate the 4 physical fitness aptitude dimensions (morphological, muscular strength, flexibility, and cardio-respiratory), the following physical education tests were given to the students: sit-and-reach (cm), push-ups (rep), standing long jump (cm), and 20-m shuttle run (m). Results and Discussion.Females showed greater flexibility in the sit-and-reach test and greater body fat than the males. No differences were found in BMI. Percentiles were created for the 4 components for the physical fitness aptitudes, BMI, and skinfolds by using the LMS method based on age and sex. The proposed reference values may be used for detecting talents and promoting health in children and adolescents.

Sex role identity (Bern Sex Role Inventory) and self esteem (Texas Social Behavior Inventory) were examined in a cross sectional sample of 2069 Ohio State University students, employees, and alumni between the ages of seventeen and eighty-nine. Both men and women displayed peak masculinity scores in the middle years of adulthood, with no significant differences in femininity scores across the age range studied. Among both men and women, psychologically “androgynous” individuals displayed the highest levels of self esteem, followed by masculine sex-typed, feminine sex-typed, and “undifferentiated” individuals, in that order. Masculinity was a far better predictor of self esteem than was femininity.
