Abstract Objective: Obesity as a worldwide phenomenon is a multifactorial condition. Healthy diets have effect on obesity related factors like resting metabolic rate (RMR). In present study, we investigate association between adherence to modified Nordic diet and RMR among overweight and obese participants.Methods: We enrolled 404 overweight and obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) women aged 18-48 years in this cross-sectional study. For each participant anthropometrics measurements, biochemical tests and blood pressure were evaluated. RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry. RMR/kg was also measured. Modified Nordic diet score was measured using a validated 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).Results: Among all participants, the mean and standard deviation (SD) for age and body mass index (BMI) were 36.67 years (SD=9.10) and 31.26 kg/m2 (SD=4.29). There was a significant association between RMR/kg status and age, body mass index (BMI), RMR (P<0.001), respiratory quotient (RQ), fat percentage (P= 0.01), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P= 0.03), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P= 0.04), after adjustment for age, BMI, energy intake and physical activity. Participants with the highest adherence to modified Nordic diet had lower odds of hypometabolic status after adjusting for confounders and it was significant (odds ratio (OR) = 3.15, 95% CI= 0.97-10.15, P=0.05).Conclusions: The present results indicate that adherence to modified Nordic diet is associated with lower odds of hypometabolic status in overweight and obese women. However more studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract Background Evaluating blood pressure (BP) is one element for diagnosing and preventing disease in student populations. The objectives of this research were to (a) identify the range of height for measuring BP adjusted for student populations and (b) propose percentiles for evaluating BP based on height. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with 3,013 students. Weight, height, and diastolic (DBP) and systolic (SBP) blood pressure were evaluated. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated. Height ranges of 5 and 10 cm were generated. Results R2 values for height ranges of 5 cm consisted of [normotensive: DBP (R2 = 10 to 13%) and SBP (R2 = 14 to 20%), and for hypertensive: DBP (R2 = 0.07 to 15%) and for SBP (R2 = 29 to 32%)]. For height ranges of 10 cm, values included: [normotensive: DBP (R2 = 10 to 15%), and SBP (R2 = 15 to 21%) and for hypertensive: DBP (R2 = 0.07 to 16%) and SBP (R2 = 29 to 35%)]. For 5 cm height ranges, diferences occurred between both sexes for DBP (in 5 height ranges from 123 to 148 cm and 158 to 168 cm) and for the SBP (in 6 height ranges from 128 to 148 cm and from 158 to 168 cm). In the 10 cm categories, diferences appeared in DBP (from 138 to 148 cm) and in the SBP (from 158 to 168 cm). Conclusions Height is a determinant for evaluating blood pressure, and height ranges of 10 cm are more suitable for children and adolescents. The proposed percentiles based on height ranges allowed assessment of the DBP and SBP suggest their use in epidemiological and educational contexts.

The aims of this study discussed overview of body mass index and blood pleasure in Medical Science Faculty Student. This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional study design, namely how to approach, observe or collect data at the same time 10. Based on the research results, it was found that the majority of BMI students from the Faculty of Medicine UNPRI Medan class 2017 were normal, namely 64 people (64.6%), then followed by students with an overweight BMI of 29 people (29.3%), underweight and obese respectively. only 3 people (3.0%). Based on the results of the study, it was found that the majority of the blood pressure of the 2017 UNPRI Medan Faculty of Medicine students was completely normal (100%).

Hypertension has become a serious problem in worldwide. The most factor causes hypertension is obesity or overweight. The main purpose of this study was to determine correlation Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure at Kinamang Village. The design in this study was cross sectional study. The sample was used non probability sampling with accidental sampling technique. Sample of this study were 89 respondents. The results were showed most category BMI were normal category 48,3%, systolic and diastolic category were prehypertension 53,9% and 34,8%. The analysis was using spearman correlation and the result showed BMI and systolic p value 0,001<0,05 with r=0,360 and diastolic p 0,000<0,05 with r=0,389. The conclusion is there was statistically significant positive correlation between BMI and blood pressure both systolic and diastolic. The higher BMI then blood pressure will increase both systolic and diastolic.   Keywords: Body Mass Index; Blood Pressure   Abstrak Hipertensi sudah menjadi masalah yang serius di dunia. Obesitas atau kelebihan berat badan merupakan salah satu faktor yang paling sering menyebabkan hipertensi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan Indeks Masa Tubuh (IMT) dan tekanan darah di desa Kinamang. Desain penilitian yang digunakan menggunakan cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan non probability samping dengan teknik pengambilan accidental sampling dengan jumlah sampel yang didapat 89 responden. Hasil penelitian yang didapat kategori Indeks masa tubuh terbanyak dalam kategori normal 48,3%, kategori tekanan darah sistolik terbanyak kategori prehipertensi 53,9% dan kategori tekanan darah diastolik terbanyak kategori prehipertensi 34,8%. Hasil analisa korelasi menggunakan spearman correlation didapati korelasi IMT dengan tekanan darah sistolik p 0,001<0,05 dengan r=0,360 dan korelasi IMT dengan tekanan darah diastolik p 0,000<0,05 dengan r=0,389. Kesimpulan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara IMT dengan tekanan darah sistolik maupun diastolik. Semakin meningkat IMT maka tekanan darah sistolik maupun diastolik akan meningkat.   Kata Kunci: Indeks Masa Tubuh; Tekanan Darah
