Introduction: Alterations in foot landing position have often been associated with the appearance of deformities in lower limbs. However, there are no studies that prove the relationship between these two variables in healthy individuals. Objective: To investigate the relation between changes in feet and lower limbs by plantigraphy and computerized photogrammetry. Methods: The study included 70 young adults, 42 women (height: 1.60±0.01 m; body weight: 58.0±0.92 kg; body mass index: 22.0±0.31 kg/m2 ) and 28 men (height: 1.70±0.01 m; body weight: 70.0±1.4 kg; body mass index: 23.0±0.42 kg/m2 ) with mean age of 21.62±2.0 and 22.18±2.09 years, respectively. Plantigraphy of both feet and photographic capture in the anterior frontal plane of lower limbs and foot, posterior frontal of the tendon of the calcaneus and in the sagittal plane of lower limbs were performed. Results: A strong positive correlation was observed between the Chippaux-Smirak and the Staheli indexes (Men– r: 0.863 and p<0.001; Women– r: 0.973 and p<0.001) and a weak positive correlation between the malleolar angle and the Cavanagh-Rodgers index (Men– r: 0.386 and p 0.003; Women– r: 0.280 and p 0.010). Conclusion: There was no correlation between footprint indexes and lower limb angles measured by computerized photogrammetry.

Whether paternal epigenetic information of nutrition might be inherited by their offspring remained unknown. evaluate the relationship between preconception paternal body weight and their offspring's birth weight in 1,810 Chinese mother-father-baby trios. Information on paternal and maternal preconception body weight and height was collected via a self-reported questionnaire. Birth weight was collected from medical records. Paternal preconception body weight was associated with offspring's birth weight (p trend=0.02) after multivariable adjustment. Each standard deviation increment of paternal body mass index was associated with an additional 29.6 g increase of birth weight (95% confident interval: 5.7g, 53.5g). The association was more pronounced in male neonates, and neonates with overweight mothers, and with mothers who gained excessive gestational weight, compared to their counterparts (all p interaction<0.05). Sensitivity analyses showed similar pattern to that of the main analysis. Paternal preconception body weight was associated with birth weight of their offspring.

This study assesses the relationship between negative interaction and body mass index values among older adults. Throughout, an emphasis is placed on probing for individual differences in response to unpleasant encounters with significant others. Individual variations in personality (introversion-extraversion) as well as social status (gender) are evaluated within this context. Tests of the complex three-way interaction between negative interaction, gender, and introversion reveal that more negative interaction is associated with higher body mass index values among elderly women who are introverted. In contrast, a significant relationship between negative interaction, introversion, and body mass failed to emerge for older men.

Body mass index (BMI) is to monitor nutritional status adults, especially those related to deficiency and overweight. Body fat percentage can describe the risk of degenerative diseases.This study was conducted to measure the relationship between BMI and body fat percentage. Methods An analytical study was conducted to 41 male and 51 female participant from Universitas Teuku Umar. The body weight was measured using scales, whereas the body height was measured using microtoise. The body fat percentage was measured using Karada Scan. The BMI was calculated by dividing the body weight in kilogram divided by body height in meter square. Data was collected from 16-18th February 2021 and analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test. The results showed BMI underweight, normal, and overweight were 10,9, 57,6, and 31,5. High body fat percentage in men were 75,6% and in women were 35,5%. There is a relationship between the nutritional status of the women group and the body fat percentage with p-value is obtained = 0.021. Furthermore, for men, there is no relationship between nutritional status in the men group and the body fat percentage. There is a relationship between nutritional status and body fat percentage in women. Among this population, BMI can still be used to determine body fat percentage

Simple Measurement

Body mass index (BMI) is the most widely used index for determining the fitness status of an individual. Midd-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is another commonly used anthropometric index, providing a simple measurement widely used for nutrition level screening. However, building a massive population database based on both BMI and MUAC measurements is time-consuming and may introduce errors due to instrumentations and different operators. In this paper, a measurement technique of BMI from photographic images of the upper arm is presented. Three parameters are measured from the subject photos with a scale attached, and these are upper arm length, sagittal plane middle arm thickness (SMT), and frontal plane middle thickness (FMT). Different parameters are derived from the SMT and the FMT. These parameters are used to study the correlation and measurements agreements with the BMI. It is found that all parameters related to SMT correlate very well with the BMI with correlation coefficients of more than 90%. In addition, the SMT measurement limits (both upper and lower) are acceptable and within the clinical significance range. Finally, the receiver operating characteristics analysis of both SMT and MUAC has been evaluated. The findings show that SMT is slightly better than MUAC since it gives excellent sensitivity (94.7%) without compromising the specificity (88.5%) when compared to the MUAC results.

BACKGROUND: Melanocortin 3 Receptors (MC3R) levels plays a role in many biological systems, including energy homeostasis and regulation of fat metabolism. However, very few have researched the relationship between MC3R and tuberculosis (TB) and body mass index. AIM: This study explores the differences in serum MC3R levels in active TB, household contacts, and control groups, as well as at different body mass index status. This study tries to find out the relationship between MC3R and other variables. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Blood samples were taken from 53 active TB patients, 49 household contacts, and 30 healthy people as controls. The 132 samples were subjected to IGRA and ELISA examinations to determine differences in MC3R levels in all groups. RESULTS: The highest mean of MC3R levels were found in the active TB group at 1.259.55 (p = 0.028) and had a positive correlation with a value of p = 0.008. In the sex group, men had the highest levels (p = 0.551). In the 30–49 year age group, the median value increased significantly in the three groups (p = 0.028), and there was a correlation between MC3R and the 17–29 year age group, although the correlation was negative (p = 0.021), in the 30–49 year age group with a positive correlation (p = 0.050). The mean MC3R value increased significantly in the overweight group in the three groups (p = 0.006) but did not significantly correlate. CONCLUSION: The high level of MC3R in TB patients is related to its role as a defence against microbes that enter the body through the immune process to prevent further infection and inflammation. Meanwhile, high levels of MC3R in excess Body mass index were associated with the function of MC3R as an inhibitor of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to release α-MSH.

Background: Thyroid dysfunction is a major health issue among the Nepalese population. It is the prone region for iodine deficiency disease. Altered living status, sub-urbanization and behavioral factors among the people are believed to be thyroid sufferers. The effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on body weight have been clinically clearly demonstrated however there are only few literatures published showing the relationship between BMI and thyroid function among the two groups of population (euthyroid and thyroid dysfunction). Objective: This study aims to study the relationship of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and thyroid hormones with BMI and neck ultrasound findings in euthyroid and thyroid dysfunction subjects. Methods: This is a centre based retrospective study carried out in Diabetes, Thyroid and Endocrinology Care Centre (DTECC), Pokhara Nepal. The study used the archives of the laboratory and patient clinical information on the Centre during the years 2016 March to 2017 March. Detailed information regarding  patientís age, medical history and previous history of smoking and alcohol consumption data, patients BMI (Body Mass Index) and neck ultrasound findings were obtained. Results: Of the total five hundred and six cases, four hundred and forty cases were females and sixty six cases were male. 59.4 percentages of the cases had increased body mass index and about 48 percentages of the total cases had abnormal thyroid function tests. Of the total, neck ultrasound revealed findings suggestive of Hashimoto Thyroiditis in two hundred and forty four cases. Conclusion: Thyroid dysfunction is associated with some components of metabolic syndrome. The thyroid function disorders in conjunction with the strong influence of various environmental factors can increase body weight and lead to obesity. Increased in BMI has strong influence on thyroid hormone level.

Introduction: Concern about weight gain among people has been high due to negative health consequences in addition to the increasing prevalence of the problem. Overweight and obesity also occur in patients with hemophilia. Analysis of literature shows that increased body weight might have a biomechanical effect on the spatial orientation of the pelvis and the lumbar spine. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and the parameters characterizing the alignment of the sacrum (SS, sacral slope), the pelvis (PT, pelvic tilt; PI, pelvic incidence) and the angle value of lumbar lordosis (LL, lumbar lordosis) assessed in the sagittal plane among patients with hemophilia. Materials and methods: A total of 49 patients were subjected to the study, 23 of whom met the inclusion criteria. Body weight and height were measured. Measurement of the angle values of indicators characterizing the position of the lumbar–pelvic complex was established based on X-ray imaging analysis. Results: Analysis of the correlation between the BMI and sacral, pelvic, and lumbar indicators evaluated in the sagittal plane in the study group of patients with hemophilia showed a correlation between BMI and SS (r = 0.48). SS values were significantly and positively related to PI (r = 0.6; p = 0.002) and LL (r = 0.46; p = 0.02). The results obtained indicate the BMI relationship with the setting of the sacrum in the sagittal plane (SS). After adjusting for the knee flexion contracture, the correlation on the border of significance (b = 0.73, p = 0.07) between the body mass index and the spatial orientation of the pelvis and the spine was revealed. Conclusion: We hypothesize that increased body weight among people with hemophilia might have an effect on the positioning of the lumbosacral region. Therefore, it is believed that preventing obesity among people with hemophilia can contribute to a smaller number of intra-articular hemorrhages and better orthopedic condition of the limb joints, and thus could avoid changes in the lumbosacral region as well as their consequences.

The Relationship

Although the effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on body weight have been clearly demonstrated, there is no sufficient data on the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and minor differences within the normal range of thyroid function. The present study aims to investigate the relationship of fluctuations of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones with BMI in euthyroid subjects. The study included 736 euthyroid healthy individuals of known age, weight, height, and biochemical picture of the thyroid function. Individuals were classified according to BMI and thyroid hormones’ values. The variations of normal thyroid function in euthyroid individuals were associated with body weight changes. A statistically significant positive correlation between BMI and thyroid function in women was found, while in men the correlation was not statistically significant. The alterations in thyroid function are mainly primary, while changes in body weight are secondary. The reason may be simple or multifactorial, and the biological mechanism is not completely known. Finally, the thyroid function disorders in conjunction with the strong influence of various environmental factors can increase body weight and lead to obesity.
