Obese Adolescents

Background: The prevalence of adolescent obesity is increasing in Indonesia. Obesity can reduce the quality of life, especially as most obese adolescents remain obese after they become adult. In obese adolescents, the higher their IMT (intima-media thickness), the higher the risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyse the correlation of demographic characteristics with BMI (body mass index) in adolescents with obesity. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study on adolescents with obesity conducted in the Paediatric Nutrition and Metabolic Disease Clinic of Dr Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. The data on demographic characteristics, such as gender, number of siblings, paternal education, maternal education, and maternal occupation, were collected using the interview method. Data on anthropometry were collected to calculate BMI. Obesity is established if it is higher than the 95th percentile, based on CDC percentile of BMI, according to age and sex. Data were analysed using multiple regression. Results: A total of 59 obese adolescents, between 13 and 16 years old, were involved. As many as 49.20% of respondents had one sibling. As many as 52.50% of respondents had a father with a high school education and 44.10% of respondents had mothers with a high school education; 61% of respondents had working mothers. There was no correlation between BMI and demographic characteristics (p> 0.05), except for number of siblings (p = 0.02). Conclusion: In this study, the number of siblings was correlated with BMI. A study with a greater number of obese adolescents and with adolescents who have normal nutritional status is needed to fully assess the influence of demographic characteristics on BMI in obese adolescents.

Rationale and aim To examine preference of the elderly for adding indication (medication use/purpose) to prescription label, reasons for their preference and its association with demographic characteristics. Methods A convenience sample of 143 patients of age 65 or older, who took at least one prescription medication every day were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed for descriptive statistics, correlation for demographic characteristics with participant’s preference for adding indication to prescription label using the Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. Regression analysis was conducted to predict participant’s preference.    Results Participants were ethnically diverse, majority being female (60.8%), with average age of 76.9 yrs. Twenty nine percent participants had more than high school education. About 91% participants preferred adding indications to their prescription label for the reasons: “managing medication by category” (29%), “distinguishing medications” (69%), and “reducing confusion” (29%). Adult daycare centers and community pharmacy participants with lower than high school education showed higher preference for adding indication for reducing confusion and distinguishing medication, respectively. Whereas, Hispanic/Latino participants of adult daycare centers preferred for the reason, distinguishing medications (p<0.05). Age, race/ethnicity and education were found to be good predictors of their preference. Conclusion The elderly showed higher preference for adding indication to the prescription label for improving their ability to distinguish medications and reduce confusion. Our results suggest a need for adopting recently released USP patient-centered prescription label standards, which also include adding indication to the Rx labels.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the socioeconomic, demographic and obstetric profile of pregnant women with Gestational Hypertensive Syndrome. Methods: A descriptive and correlational study, conducted in Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand, with 120 pregnant women, through a questionnaire analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: most women had chronic hypertension (60.83%). Regarding the socioeconomic and demographic profile, most pregnant women had a mean age of 30.9 ± 6.9 years, were Catholic, brown skin color, employed, in stable unions, complete high school education, and income of up to R$ 954.00. Regarding the obstetric profile, their Body Mass Index was up to 66, slightly elevated blood pressure, an average of five prenatal consultations, two pregnancies, one delivery and no abortions. Women with chronic hypertension were older (p = 0.0024), had lower gestational age (p = 0.0219) and a higher number of abortions (p = 0.0140). Conclusions: Pregnant women are overweight/obese, with a mean age of 30.9 years and are socially vulnerable. Pregnant women with chronic hypertension are older and have a higher number of abortions.

BACKGROUND: Despite advances in treatment and decreases in risk factors, cardiovascular disease remains the cause of 1/3 deaths. Both prevalence and cost of cardiovascular disease are expected to increase over the coming decades. In supporting health efforts to reduce cardiovascular disease burden, the AHA developed a comprehensive cardiovascular health index (CVHI) incorporating behavioral and biological factors. A thorough understanding of health determinants requires inclusion of factors at multiple levels of proximity to individuals and communities. The objective of this study was to identify the demographic characteristics of individuals and areas in which they live that promote cardiovascular health. METHODS: Data from 2011 BRFSS were used to calculate CVHI. Participants were ineligible if missing information necessary to calculate CVHI (n = 156,973), if pregnant or pregnancy status was unknown (n = 3,693), or if missing county code (n = 37,163). Poisson model was used to determine change in the expected number of ideal factors an individual had due to various individual and county demographic characteristics. County demographic variables were abstracted from the Area Health Resource File. RESULTS: The effect of a 10 year increase in an individual’s age decreased the expected number of ideal CVHI factors by 6.31% (6.14, 6.47). Females had a 12.09% (11.48, 12.70) increase in expected number of ideal CVHI factors over males. Non-Hispanic blacks had a 7.42% (6.39, 8.44) decrease in expected number of ideal CVHI factors compared to other race/ethnicities. An individual’s education and income level had a dose response association with CVHI. Compared to having less than a high school education, those with a high school education had a 5.15% increase in the expected number of ideal CVHI factors and an 11.64% increase for those with a 4 year degree. As an individual’s income category increased there was a 7.89%, 10.79%, and 16.34% increase respectively in the expected number of ideal CVHI factors. For county demographics increases in the expected number of ideal factors was seen with increases in Hispanic population (0.93% per 10% increase) and increasing socioeconomic index (0.14% per 10 unit increase). A 10% increase in the population with no health insurance decreased the expected number of factors 1.49% (0.75, 2.22). There was a significant interaction (p <0.01) between an individual’s income level and the socioeconomic status of the county lived in, with those in lower income categories benefiting more from living in higher socioeconomic areas than those with higher incomes. In conclusion, both individual and county demographic characteristics were associated with changes in an individual’s CVHI. CONCLUSION: This information can assist public health and government agencies in developing priorities and evaluating the potential effectiveness of policies and programs.

Background: African specific studies on the factors associated with the growth pattern of children are needed to guide evidence and develop effective population-based interventions that can be tailored to the unique African context.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the socio-economic correlates of body mass index (BMI) of primary and secondary school children in Ebonyi State, which is situated in south-eastern Nigeria.Methodology: This was a quantitative, cross-sectional study that utilised clustering and stratified sampling techniques to select 1000 learners from primary and secondary schools located in Abakaliki local government area. Apart from a questionnaire, a Mettler weighing scale was also used for data collection. A generalised linear model was used to test the association between the participants’ socio-demographic characteristics and their BMI.Result: BMI was positively related to female gender but negatively related to age and level of education. The mode of cooking, who the participants live with and how they get to school also predicted changes in BMI. Other variables like mother’s occupation and family’s mode of transport were also associated with BMI changes while father’s level of education, mother’s level of education, father’s occupation and the type of residence did not have any statistical relationship with BMI.Conclusion: The present study shows that the BMI of school children is influenced by the socio-demographic characteristics surrounding them. Therefore, efforts should be made to improve the socio-economic standing of families in this community.

Abstract: Childhood obesity is one of the serious public health problems. Data from the World Health Organization in 2013 showed that about 42 million children were categorized as overweight and obese. Obesity is correlated with cardiovascular diseases. Apolipoprotein B is one of the solid predictors to diagnose cardiovascular disease in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the correlation between body mass index and Apolipoprotein B levels in overweight and obese adolescents. This was an analytical observational study with a cross sectional design. This study was participated by 23 overweight and obese adolescents. The results showed that the mean level of BMI in overweight and obese adolescents was 32 (SD±4.235) kg/m2, ApoB was 94,13 mg/dL (SD±19.770). The Spearman’s rank correlation test showed a significance level (P) = 0.587 and the correlations value (r) = 0,120 between body mass index and Apolipoprotein B levels. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between BMI and ApoB in overweight and obese adolescents. Albeit, some of the overweight and obese adolescents have moderate risk to suffer from cardiovascular diseases in the future.

Stunting is a condition in which the afternoon z value is less than the standard deviation or when the child has a length or height that is not according to their age, There are various factors that affect the condition of stunting, but the mother is one of the most important factors in the occurrence of stunting, therefore this research was conducted with the aim of knowing the role or risk of maternal age, education and occupation in the incidence of stunting. This analytic observational study used a case-control design with a purposive sampling technique with a total of 106 respondents with each sample in each group being 53 for the case group and the control group also totalling 53 respondents. The chi-square test was defined as the test used in this study. In both groups, the majority of the test results were aged 20-35 years, the majority or most of them had high school education, and housewives made up the majority of occupations of the two groups. The results of this study indicate that the mother's age, education, and occupation are not related, but this study shows that mothers aged 20-35 years and with high school education have a lower risk of having a stunted child. Reflecting on this study, it can be seen that the ideal age and high maternal education cause mothers to be at lower risk of having stunted children.

Objective: The evaluation of racial disparities in access to and use of infertility services in the U.S. has been documented. The aims of this study were to: 1) investigate racial differences in length of time women report attempting to become pregnant until seeking medical help; and 2) determine the predictors of seeking medical help to achieve pregnancy. Materials and methods: The National Survey of Family Growth 2011-2015 was used to analyze the duration women attempted to get pregnant among those who sought medical help. Results: 563 women reported seeking medical help to achieve pregnancy. The majority 422 (81%) were white. Multiple linear regression showed that age (β = .93; p = .00), having less than high school education (β = 14.64; p = .01), and higher body mass index (β = .59; p = .00) are significantly associated with an increased length of time for seeking medical help to get pregnant. Religions other than Catholic or Protestant (β = -8.63; p = .04) is significantly associated with a decreased length of time for seeking medical help to get pregnant. Race was not associated with a significant difference in the length of time attempting to become pregnant (β = -1.80; p = .44). Conclusion: Age, education attainment, religious affiliation, and body mass index are significantly associated with the length of time pursuing pregnancy. Once women have utilized medical resources, racial differences in the length of time pursuing pregnancy are not apparent
