Background: Asthma is ranked 16th among the leading causes of years lived with disability (YLD) and ranks 28th among the causes of global burden of disease (GBD). Various potential factors can cause asthma, which include body mass index (BMI) and gender. Purpose: This research aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and gender in people living with asthma in Indonesia. Methods: This research employed secondary data obtained from the Indonesian family life support (IFLS) 5th edition. This research used an observational analysis technique with a cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents in this research were 30,713. In this study, the BMI category was based on WHO’s classification for Asians. Data was analyzed using logistic regression tests and chi square. Statistical significance was set at a value of p<0.05. Results: As many as 17,175 respondents had a normal BMI range (56.92%), out of which the majority were women—16,001 respondents (52.10%). After controlling the other variables, statistical test results with logistic regression indicated that male respondents had 1.23 times the odds of experiencing asthma compared to females (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=1.23; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04–1.44; p=0.02). Again, after controlling the other variables, underweight respondents had 1.31 times the odds of experiencing asthma compared to respondents who had a normal BMI (AOR=1.31; 95%CI=1.07–1.59; p=0.01). Conclusion: A relationship between gender and the category of people who were underweight after determining their BMI could be established. Health counseling can be provided to help improve the respiratory conditions of these individuals.

Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood which is characterized by the acceleration of physical, mental, emotional and social development. Reproductive health is an important problem for adolescents. The earliest change in adolescents is to start menstruating which can cause dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea affects learning activities and indirectly affects the quality of life of adolescents. There are several risk factors that are considered to have a relationship with dysmenorrhea including body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin levels and exposure to cigarette smoke. This study aims to determine the relationship of body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin levels and exposure to cigarette smoke with the occurrence of dysmenorrhea. This study was an observational analytic study with astudy design Cross Sectional. The sample in this study were female students of the Midwifery Department of Health at the Palangka Raya Ministry of Health. The research instruments were in the form of questionnaires s. Data analysis was done by Chi Square and Logistic Regression. The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), Hemoglobin Levels and Cigarette Smoke Exposure with Occurrence of Dysmenorrhea (p <0.05). The results of the logistic regression analysis obtained a determination coefficient value of 0.461 so that it can be concluded that the variable body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin level and exposure to cigarette smoke had a contribution of 46.1% to the incidence of dysmenorrhea and 53.9% influenced by other factors. Body Mass Index (BMI) OR = 14,920, Hemoglobin Level (Hb <12 gram / dl) OR = 5,897 and cigarette smoke exposure OR = 3,289 is a risk factor for dysmenorrhea in adolescents.

BackgroundYouth is a vulnerable group for developing almost all life-style related diseases. The present cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the determinants of blood pressure among entry year students in a medical university in Ajman, United Arab Emirates.Materials and Methods  One hundred and ten students from Gulf Medical University, Ajman, UAE participated in the study. A pretested structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Predictive Analytic Software 17 was used for data analysis. Chi-square test, Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used.ResultsVariables such as tobacco use, duration of sleep, Body Mass Index and gender were considered to assess the association with blood pressure. The mean age of the students was 19 years with a SD of 1.9 years. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 113.5 (SD 12.0) and 73.7 (SD 11.2) respectively with mean BMI of 24.9 (SD 5.7). A statistically significant association was observed between gender and blood pressure (p<0.05). The crude Odds Ratio (OR) observed for sleep duration and blood pressure was found statistically significant (p<0.05), but the adjusted OR was not statistically significant. Of the participants who sleep for more than 6 hours, majority (70%) have normal blood pressure. Nearly half of the participants who slept for less than 6 hours have pre-hypertension and/ or hypertension. There was statistically significant (p<0.005) association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP). The mean BMI among those with normal BP was 23.25 kg/m2 with a SD of 4.6 and those with pre-hypertension and/ or hypertension was 27.6 kg/m2 with a SD of 6.5.ConclusionGender and BMI are the significant factors associated with Blood pressure. The findings may be used to create strategies to impart awareness of the dangers of increased blood pressure among obese and non obese students.Key Words: Body Mass Index; Blood Pressure; UAEDOI: 10.3126/nje.v1i1.4107Nepal Journal of Epidemiology 2010;1 (1):17-21

Background. Medical emergencies can be distressing for any dental professional, whether in a dental practice, hospital or other sites. Objectives. To assess the knowledge and awareness of dental practitioners towards medical emergencies and its management in Bhubaneswar. Material and Methods. In this cross-sectional investigation, a self-administered questionnaire which included demographic details and 19 questions regarding knowledge about medical emergencies, was disseminated to a random sample of 183 dentists working in their private dental clinic set up in Bhubaneswar. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results. Total sample size was 183, out of which 79 (43.17%) were males and 104 (56.83%) were females. The mean age was found out to be 30.7 ± 5.38 years. Practically 96% of the practitioners were not certain enough to deal with the emergency conditions at dental office. Around 67% had not attended any workshop on emergency training. It was amazing to observe that larger part (90%) of the experts didn't possess first aid kit at their dental office. In instances of handling emergency situation at the dental chair no statistical significance (p>0.05) with respect to age and gender was found. Conclusion. This investigation showed that hypothetically dental professionals had better knowledge on medical emergencies yet at the same time they were not equipped efficiently to manage the same at their workplace.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Increasing obesity is starting to occur among Brazilians. The aim of this study was to investigate the weight and length of children under two years of age in relation to sociodemographic variables and according to whether they were breastfed. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional randomized study conducted in 2004-2005, based on the declaration of live births (SINASC) in Campinas, Brazil. METHODS: 2,857 mothers of newborns were interviewed and answered a questionnaire seeking socioeconomic and breastfeeding information. The newborns' weights and lengths were measured at the end of the interviews and the body mass index was calculated. Percentiles (< 15 and > 85) and Z-scores (< -1 and > +1) were used for classification based on the new growth charts recommended by WHO (2006). The log-rank test, multiple linear regression and binomial test (Z) were used. The statistical significance level used was 5%. RESULTS: The predominant social level was class C. The median for exclusive breastfeeding was 90 days; 61.25% of the children were between P15 and P85 for body mass index and 61.12% for length, respectively. Children whose mothers studied for nine to eleven years and children whose mothers were unemployed presented lower weight. Children whose mothers worked in health-related professions presented lower length when correlated with breastfeeding. CONCLUSION: The breastfeeding, maternal schooling and maternal occupation levels had an influence on nutrition status and indicated that obesity is occurring in early childhood among the infants living in the municipality.

Abstract Objectives Many gene-diet interactions have been uncovered for obesity and other cardiometabolic risk factors, but truly personalized nutritional recommendations will require the incorporation of an individual's full genome in predicting response to diet. Statistical genetics studies typically require thousands of individuals, limiting the ability of dietary intervention trials to answer these genome-wide nutrigenetic questions. We sought to explore a novel approach for identifying the genetic architecture of the diet-body mass index (BMI) relationship using an epidemiological dataset. Methods As a mathematical correlation is defined as the expected product of two standardized variables, it may be possible to estimate the genetic signal describing an underlying diet-BMI correlation by predicting their product. Statistical simulations were performed to assess the ability of this method to pick up pre-specified effects of genotype on diet response. In white women from the longitudinal Women's Health Initiative (WHI) dataset, the product of log-transformed fat-to-carbohydrate ratio (F: C) and body mass index (BMI) (both variables standardized) was calculated both cross-sectionally at baseline (n = 9357) and with respect to longitudinal changes in these variables before follow-up (n = 1333). Plink and GCTA tools were used to estimate the genotype-based heritability of these products, as well as that of the change in BMI in response to a separate intervention in WHI focused partially on fat reduction. Results Simulations demonstrated that the method is sensitive to changes in the underlying effect sizes, but is able to detect underlying statistical correlations as intended. Genetic heritability estimates using cross-sectional data were negligible, while those using longitudinal data approached statistical significance (variance explained = 14%, P = 0.07). BMI changes in the dietary modification trial showed non-significant heritability (v.e. = 4%), which was insufficient to validate any genetic correlation with the longitudinal results. Conclusions While cross-sectional data may contain too much noise, this method shows promise for the detection of genome-wide contributions to diet response in longitudinal data, and should be investigated further in larger datasets and with alternative phenotypes. Funding Sources This study was supported by the NHLBI T32 training grant.

This article aimed to investigate the relationship between family violence and body mass index (BMI) in adolescents whose families were enrolled in the Bolsa Família Program. The cross-sectional study included 201 adolescents of both sexes, 10 to 19 years of age, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2008-2009. BMI and physical, psychological, and verbal abuse of adolescents by their parents were evaluated. The association between family violence and BMI was measured via linear regression models. In girls, verbal abuse was directly associated with BMI, showing a significant mean increase of 2.064, 2.438, and 2.403 in BMI when perpetrated by the mother, father, and both parents, respectively. Among boys, family violence was associated with lower BMI (but without reaching statistical significance). The findings point to the need for innovative practices and approaches in the nutritional care of adolescents enrolled in the Bolsa Família Program, considering family violence as a contributing factor to inadequate nutritional status.

Abstrak. Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) merupakan parameter yang digunakan untuk menilai komposisi tubuh dengan menggunakan klasifikasi Asia Pasifik. IMT menjadi salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya osteoartritis lutut. Osteoartritis lutut merupakan penyakit degeneratif yang terjadi pada sendi lutut. Berdasarkan RISKESDAS tahun 2018, Provinsi Aceh menduduki peringkat pertama sebagai provinsi dengan angka penyakit sendi terbanyak yang termasuk osteoartritis lutut yaitu 13.3%. Prevalensi indeks massa tubuh berlebih di Indonesia pada tahun 2018  meningkat dari 26.3% menjadi 34.4% sehingga kemungkinan terjadinya osteoartritis lutut juga meningkat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik dengan desain cross-sectional dilakukan dengan cara mengukur berat badan dan tinggi badan responden yang memenuhi kriteria penelitian berdasarkan pedoman American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Sampel dikumpulkan berdasarkan rekam medis di Rumah Sakit Umum Zainoel Abidin kota Banda Aceh sejak september hingga oktober 2019 yang melibatkan tujuh puluh responden sebagai sampel penelitian yang dimana 51 responden (72.9%) memiliki indeks massa tubuh berlebih dan 43 responden (61.4%) didiagnosis dengan Osteoartritis lutut. Berdasarkan hasil analisis uji Chi Square, nilai p value yang diperoleh adalah 0.021 (p value ≤ 0,05). Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara indeks massa tubuh dengan kejadian osteoartritis lutut di Rumah Sakit Umum Zainoel Abidin di kota Banda Aceh.Kata Kunci: Indeks massa tubuh; berat badan lebih, osteoartritis lutut;               Abstract. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a parameter to measure body composition which is classified into underweight, normal and overweight. Overweight has been known to potentially cause knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease happening on the knee. Based on RISKESDAS 2018, Aceh led Indonesia as a province with the highest number of knee arthritis (13.3%). In the same year, the prevalence of overweight in Indonesia has also increased from 26.3% to 34.4% and is expected to rise annually. This research is an analytic observational using cross sectional design. The method used in this research is body weight and body length measurement of samples fulfilling the criteria based on American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Data were collected based on medicalr record at Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh, from September to October 2019. We examined 70 respondents, 51 of them (72.9%) had overweight IMT and 43 of them (61.4%) were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. Chi Square analysis showed p value 0,021 (p value ≤ 0.05). We concluded that there is a correlation between body mass index with knee osteoarthritis in Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh.Keyword: Body Mass Index; overweight; knee osteoarthritis;

Objective: To evaluate the association between blood of C-reactive protein concentrations and an indicator of muscle mass in hospitalized cancer patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out with 110 patients of both sexes, aged ≥18 years, with solid and/or liquid cancer undergoing clinical and/or surgical treatment. Clinical and socioeconomic data were obtained from medical records. The adductor pollicis muscle thickness was obtained using skinfold caliper. Patients were divided into two groups: altered adductor pollicis muscle thickness (<13.4 mm) and normal adductor pollicis muscle thickness (≥13.4 mm). Logistic regression was performed to verify the association between adductor pollicis muscle thickness and C-reactive protein. Results: It was observed that 90% (n = 100) of the patients were classified with reduced adductor pollicis muscle thickness, higher prevalence of the solid tumor, low usual weight, current weight, and body mass index. The logistic regression analysis showed no association between the adductor pollicis muscle thickness and C-reactive protein concentrations, in any of models used: model without adjustment (OR: 1.01; 95% CI [0.94-1.09], p = 0.65); adjusted for sex and age (OR: 1.01; 95% CI [0.94-1.09], p = 0.61); and adjusted model for sex, age and body mass index (BMI) (OR: 1.04; 95% CI [0.96-1.13], p = 0.29). Conclusion: Although adductor pollicis muscle thickness is validated method for nutritional assessment, we did not find an association with the inflammation marker (C-reactive protein).
