Aim. To develop a methodology for individual, group, regional and population health estimation. Methods. Offered methodology includes physical health assessment and assessment of morphologic and functional condition of organ systems in a healthy human. Physical health assessment was performed in 808 young males aged 17-21 years in the city of Krasnoyarsk. Anthropometry, body mass index calculation, Tanner maturation index, ageing speed coefficient calculation by B.B. Gorelkin and A.G. Pinhasov, bioelectrical impedance analysis and statistical analysis were performed. Results. Youth males had a height of 176.87±0.26 sm, body weight of 69.23±0.45 kg. According to calculated body mass index, healthy weight was found in 71.41% males, 12.75% were overweight, 3.96% were obese, 11.88% were underweight. Shoulders and pelvis diameters were assessed as 37.01±0,11 and 27.72±0.09 sm respectively. Tanner maturation index calculation has shown that 54.83±1.20% males were andromorphous, the others had different types of gender inversions: 18.69±0.94% were hynecomorphous, 26.49±1.07% were mesomorphous. Ageing speed coefficient calculation has revealed the discrepancy of calendar and biologic age (the latter was higher) in all hynecomorphous young males, meaning that hynecomorphism can be estimated as a predictor of early ageing and can be used in complex health assessment. The core of the offered methodology for population health estimation is the health assessment on all stages of ontogenesis, including all levels from organism to molecular, that would allow to develop the standards for health assessment and assessment of morphologic and functional condition of organ systems. Conclusion. The listed methods would allow to estimate organism’s morphologic and functional condition, and revealed physical development abnormalities would allow to correct them timely before the clinical onset of any diseases.

Background: Substantial evidence links activity domains with health and well-being; however, research has typically examined time-use behaviors independently, rather than considering daily activity as a 24-hour time-use composition. This study used compositional data analysis to estimate the difference in physical and mental well-being associated with reallocating time between behaviors. Methods: Participants (n = 430; 74% female; 41 [12] y) wore an accelerometer for 7 days and reported their body mass index; health-related quality of life (QoL); and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Regression models determined whether time-use composition, comprising sleep, sedentary behavior, light physical activity (LPA), and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), was associated with well-being. Compositional isotemporal substitution models estimated the difference in well-being associated with reallocating time between behaviors. Results: Time-use composition was associated with body mass index and physical health-related QoL. Reallocating time to MVPA from sleep, sedentary behavior, and LPA showed favorable associations with body mass index and physical health-related QoL, whereas reallocations from MVPA to other behaviors showed unfavorable associations. Reallocations from LPA to sedentary behavior were associated with better physical health–related QoL and vice versa. Conclusion: Results reinforce the importance of MVPA for physical health but do not suggest that replacing sedentary behavior with LPA is beneficial for health and well-being.

Abstract Background Physiological changes associated with pregnancy are significant enough to have serious anesthetic implications. When these are compounded by obesity, the anesthesiologists may have to deal with a patient with seriously limited physiological reserve. Obese patients often had co-morbidities and pathological changes in different organ systems. Aim The objective of this study is to determine if obesity have a clinical important effect on the vasopressor requirements or the block height following a standard fixed dose of spinal anesthesia during elective cesarean delivery. Methodology In this prospective randomized comparative clinical study, two groups of 33 patients were recruited with widely differing body mass indices to examine the influence of body mass index (BMI) on the responses to a specific dose of spinal bupivacaine. One group includes women with BMI < 32 kg/m2 (group N) and the other group has a BMI of > 40 kg/m2 (group O). Results This study showed that Body Mass Index doesn’t have much influence on sensorimotor block level and vasopressor requirement during spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery &so the dose of spinal bupivacaine should not be reduced in morbidly obese parturients. Conclusion The result of the present study showed that Body Mass Index up to 50 doesn’t have much influence on sensorimotor block level or vasopressor requirement during spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery &so the dose of spinal bupivacaine should not be reduced in morbidly obese parturients.

Objective.Obesity and overweight are increasing conditions. Adipose tissue with proinflammatory properties could be involved in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity and radiographic progression. This study aims to investigate the influence of overweight and obesity on RA activity and severity.Methods.We conducted a systematic review and metaanalysis to assess the association of body mass index (BMI) categories with the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28), functional disability [Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)], and radiographic joint damage in patients with RA. We searched Medline through PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for all studies assessing DAS28, HAQ, or/and radiographic damage according to predefined BMI groups.Results.Among the 737 citations retrieved, 58 articles met the inclusion criteria and 7 were included in the metaanalysis. DAS28 was higher in obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2) than non-obese (BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2) patients (mean difference 0.14, 95% CI 0.01–0.27, p = 0.04, I2 = 0%). HAQ score was also higher among obese patients (mean difference 0.10, 95% CI 0.01–0.19, p = 0.03, I2 = 0%). Radiographic joint damage was negatively associated with obesity (standardized mean difference −0.15, 95% CI −0.29 to −0.02, p = 0.03, I2 = 38%).Conclusion.Obesity in RA is associated with increased DAS28 and HAQ score and with lower radiographic joint damage. These associations mainly result from an increase of subjective components of the DAS28 (total joint count and global health assessment) in obese patients. Conflicting results were reported concerning inflammation markers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate).
