Objectives: This study examined the associations between lifestyle factors and obesity among university students.Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, 671 students completed measures of lifestyle factors (dietary habit, exercise, smoking, and alcohol drinking), health concern, academic stress, and anthropometric indices. Obesity was classified by body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference (AC). The data were analyzed with χ2 test, Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression.Results: The frequencies of obesity and abdominal obesity were higher in male students than in female students (17.6% vs. 3.4% by BMI, 18.9% vs. 5.9% by AC). Abdominal obesity in students with diabetic parent was higher (16.8%) than in students without diabetic family history (9.2%). Obesity of BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 associated with breakfast absence of 5-7 times/week (odds ratio, OR: 1.98, 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.05-3.71). Abdominal obesity associated with instant foods intake of 5-7 times/week (OR: 2.65, 95% CI: 1.14-6.17), fast foods intake of 3-4 times/week (OR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.48-5.56), snacks of 3-4 times/wk (OR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.15-4.00), and consumed alcohol of ≥ 1 glass a day (OR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.19-3.73).Conclusions: Breakfast absence is associated with obesity. Instant foods, fast foods, snacks, and alcohol consumption are the associated factors with abdominal obesity among university students.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the association of lifestyle factors with the risk of anemia among adults in Taiwan. Methods This cross sectional study included 118,924 (43,055 men and 75,869 women) participants aged 20–45 years, who had health examination including blood tests, anthropometric measurements, and questionnaires to collect demographic, lifestyle, and dietary data at Mei Jau (MJ) Health Screening Center between 2000 to 2015. We evaluated the interactive associations of smoking, alcohol drinking, sleeping habit, physical activity, and dietary habit on the risk of anemia among study participants. The multivariable regression analysis was performed to examine the interactive correlations of lifestyle factors on the risk of anemia. Relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion (AP) were used for the estimation of additive interactions. The dietary pattern was derived by reduced rank regression. Results The anemia-inflammatory dietary pattern was heavily loaded on eggs, meat, organ meats, rice and flour products, fried rice or flour, sugary beverages, fried foods, and processed foods. Participants who actively smoked and had less sleep duration (< 6 hours/day) significantly increased the risk of anemia (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.30, RERI = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.24, AP = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.35, all Pinteraction < 0.05) compared to those who were non-smokers and had longer sleep duration (³ 7 hours/day). In addition, the interaction of less physically active (≤2 hours/week) and high adherence to anemia-inflammatory dietary pattern was positively correlate with the risk of anemia (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.18, RERI = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.34, AP = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.23, all Pinteraction < 0.05). Conclusions Smoking, less sleep duration (<6 hours/day), less physical activity (≤2 hours/week), and high adherence to anemia-inflammatory dietary pattern are associated with an increased risk of anemia.

Use of high calorie junk foods has increased dramatically in the recent past, leading to many social and health problems. Pakistan is facing the same situation. It is therefore, a strong need to develop public health strategies targeting to reduce intake of junk food. Study was conducted over period of 9 months (from January to August 2013) among students of Foundation University Medical College. It was a cross sectional study. A total of 445 students were selected. Response rate was 85.5%. Male to female ratio was 1: 1.7. The percentage of girls was more because there are more female students as compared to male students in every class. Age ranged from 17-29 years with mean of 21 years. The percentage of Boarders to Non-boarders was 41% (182) and 59% (262) respectively.38% (169) of students take junk food daily while 39% (174) on weekly basis. Majority 169 (38%) students prefer home deliveries; while 111 students (25%) prefer to dine in. However 37% like to take food with them. Knowledge about non communicable diseases was quite good however the term ‘junk food’ was not accurately defined by all students. Around 200 (23%) of students spend Rs. 1000 for buying junk food weekly, while 142 (32%) spend more than 1000 rupees.191 (43%) of the students have experienced an increase in junk food frequency since they are living in hostel, 174 (39%) have no idea or didn’t notice any change whereas 80 (8%) had no change in their dietary habit despite of being living in hostel. On consuming junk food, 209 (47%) of the students have a pleasant feeling while majority 249 (56%) have no elevation of mood following junk food. Most (231, 52%) of the students said that they are not addicted to junk food. Junk food is quickly replacing the traditional home made and healthy foods. Health Education sessions regarding risks and hazards associated with junk food consumption must be done regularly in schools/ colleges to prevent junk food epidemic especially among youth.

Indian diets have not been thoroughly investigated despite the fact that 'Nutrition Transition' parallels a rapidly escalating epidemic of obesity and Non-Communicable Diseases. Data on socio-economic background, dietary intake, BMI, Body Fat, Waist Circumference (WC), Abdominal Circumference (AC) and fasting blood estimations were recorded on 302 affluent men (30-60 years) in a cross-sectional study in Pune, India. Average daily calorie intake was lower (1714.7 ± 442 kcal) than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (ICMR, 2010) while mean fat (45.8 ± 19.1 g), carbohydrate (279.2 ± 68.3 g) and protein intakes (46.5 ± 15.1 g) were comparable. Increase in mean WC and AC (3.9 cm), in prevalence of overall obesity (49.4% to 65.4%) and in prevalence of abdominal obesity (24.7% to 40.7%) was significant (p<0.05 for all) across tertiles of total calories. But with increase in fat intake, it was only the prevalence of abdominal obesity that increased significantly (23.2% to 39.5%; p<0.05). Subjects having higher calorie intake (>1816 kcal/d) had two times higher risk for overall and abdominal adiposity while subjects having higher fat intake (>50g/d) had two times higher risk for abdominal obesity alone. Fat density but not carbohydrate, was sensitive as the prevalence of high Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), significantly (p<0.05) increased (20.2% to 42.9%) with its increase. Additionally, the risk of high FBG was about 3 times higher (p<0.01) for high fat density (>30%). Thus, high fat density but not carbohydrate density may be an important causative factor for high rates of abdominal obesity and disturbed glucose metabolism in India.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the degree of educational inequality in the occurrence of abdominal obesity in a population of non-faculty civil servants at university campi.METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we used data from 3,117 subjects of both genders aged 24 to 65-years old, regarding the baseline ofPró-Saúde Study, 1999-2001. Abdominal obesity was defined according to abdominal circumference thresholds of 88 cm for women and 102 cm for men. A multi-dimensional, self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate education levels and demographic variables. Slope and relative indices of inequality, and Chi-squared test for linear trend were used in the data analysis. All analyses were stratified by genders, and the indices of inequality were standardized by age.RESULTS Abdominal obesity was the most prevalent among women (43.5%; 95%CI 41.2;45.9), as compared to men (24.3%; 95%CI 22.1;26.7), in all educational strata and age ranges. The association between education levels and abdominal obesity was an inverse one among women (p < 0.001); it was not statistically significant among men (p = 0.436). The educational inequality regarding abdominal obesity in the female population, in absolute terms (slope index of inequality), was 24.0% (95%CI 15.5;32.6). In relative terms (relative index of inequality), it was 2.8 (95%CI 1.9;4.1), after the age adjustment.CONCLUSIONS Gender inequality in the prevalence of abdominal obesity increases with older age and lower education. The slope and relative indices of inequality summarize the strictly monotonous trend between education levels and abdominal obesity, and it described educational inequality regarding abdominal obesity among women. Such indices provide relevant quantitative estimates for monitoring abdominal obesity and dealing with health inequalities.

Introduction: Arterial stiffness quantifies subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is predictive of athero-thrombotic events and mortality. Time-cumulative measures of obesity may more accurately estimate the lifetime burden of CVD due to obesity by accounting for both duration and intensity. Compared to generalized obesity, abdominal obesity is more consistently associated with vascular outcomes and, specifically, arterial stiffness. We examined whether 20-year cumulative abdominal obese-years is associated with greater arterial stiffness in older adults. Methods: We analyzed 5,177 participants from the ARIC cohort. Cumulative abdominal obesity was defined as the product of waist circumference units above the conventional cutpoints for obesity, 88 cm for women and 102 cm for men, and the years of exposure to that waist circumference. This accounts for obesity exposure over 20 years from the five ARIC visits. Arterial stiffness was measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) at the fifth ARIC visit. Measures of PWV obtained include: carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV), brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV), and segment-specific measures [heart-femoral (hfPWV) and femoral-ankle (faPWV)]. Multivariable linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, race, systolic blood pressure and smoking, was used to quantify the change in PWV (cm/s) per unit increase in cumulative abdominal obese-years. Subsidiary analyses examined visit five waist circumference. Hypertension and diabetes were explored as effect modifiers. Results: Among the 5,177 participants (mean age: 75, 43% male, 21% African-American), 66% had cumulative abdominal obese-years greater than zero (range: 1-1595), while 34% were not abdominally obese across any ARIC visit and thus had zero cumulative abdominal obese-years. Participants with higher cumulative abdominal obese-years were more often male, African-American and had a history of diabetes and hypertension. Cumulative abdominal obese-years were associated with lower baPWV (beta=-0.19, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.14), lower faPWV (beta=-0.12, 95% CI: -0.15, -0.09) and lower hfPWV (beta=-0.06, 95% CI: -0.10, -0.03). There was no significant association with cfPWV (beta=-0.03, 95% CI: -0.08, 0.01). The cross-sectional association between visit five abdominal circumference and PWV were similar in magnitude to cumulative abdominal obese-years. Hypertension and diabetes did not modify these associations. Conclusions: We observed an inverse association between cumulative exposure to abdominal fat and arterial stiffness in older adults. Survivor bias or the role of sarcopenia may explain these findings.The association of fat deposits with subclinical vascular disease in older adults deserves careful evaluation. Estimation of long-term exposure to abdominal obesity did not reveal associations with arterial stiffness beyond a cross-sectional assessment of abdominal obesity.

Abstract Objectives To assess the prevalence of overweight, obesity and Insufficient Sleep Duration (ISD) and to investigate their relationship with related lifestyle factors among school-aged students. Obesity in childhood and adolescence is a serious health concern as it may have long term risk for overweight and obesity in adulthood. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of 1,611 students aged between 10 and 18 years from Al Ain city, United Arab Emirates. Data were collected using a multistage stratified random sampling method using a validated questionnaire and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 42.4%. ISD was 36.6% among students. Higher BMI was significantly related to being a male and inactive (95% CI=0.03–0.23), daily coffee consumption (95% CI=0.03–0.1), older age (95% CI=0.01–0.02), less average sleep duration (95% CI=−0.02 to −0.003) and spending more time on TV/videogames (95% CI=0.01–0.07). The likelihood of ISD was significantly lower among students who consumed breakfast daily (OR=0.58, 95% CI=0.41–0.83), spent less time on smart devices (OR=0.63, 95% CI=0.47–0.84), and never consumed energy drinks or soft drinks (OR=2.64, 95% CI=1.13–6.16, OR=2.02, 95% CI=1.24–3.29, respectively). Conclusions The prevalence of overweight and obesity among school-aged students is high. ISD and related lifestyle factors are significantly associated with overweight and obesity. Study findings emphasize the need to address and implement successful strategies for a healthy lifestyle starting from early childhood to combat the increasing rates of overweight and obesity in adulthood.

ABSTRACT. Background: Systemic hypertension (SH), diabetes mellitus (DM) and abdominal obesity may negatively impact cognitive performance. Objective: To evaluate the association between SH, DM and abdominal obesity and cognitive performance among cognitively unimpaired elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional study of individuals aged 65+ from seven Brazilian cities was conducted. SH and DM diagnoses were self-reported and abdominal circumference was objectively measured. Individuals who scored below the education-adjusted cutoff scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were excluded. Results: Among 2,593 elderly, 321 (12.38%) had SH, DM and abdominal obesity concomitantly (Group I) and 421 (16.23%) had none of the three diseases (Group II). Group I had a higher proportion of individuals that were women, aged 70-74 years, illiterate and with lower income. Group I had a higher number of participants with low cognitive performance (28.04% vs. 17.58% in Group II). Variables associated with poor cognitive performance were: female gender (OR: 2.43, p < 0.001); and lower education (OR: 0.410, p < 0.001). The presence of the three diseases and age were not significant in the education-adjusted model. Conclusion: There was an association between cognition and the presence of SH, DM and obesity. However, education seems to be decisive in determining cognitive performance in the presence of these three conditions.

Background: The habit of consuming the fast- foods and packed foods are increased among the people in developing countries. Besides, several studies showed that the fast- food eating brings higher risks for developing the physiological imbalances such as obesity, over – weight even in younger generation. The fast foods ensure for important features such as easy availability, tastes good, convenient, and has friendly- packing than the traditional food items. Due to such kind of life style modifications, the ratio of fast – food habitats in younger and adolescents are highly increasing in compare to the older and middle aged people. The increase is inevitable in different age groups in recent years. These food habit modifications make a turn in traditional systems and attract the great attention against the public health concern. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the fast-food consumption in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the preference, prevalence and pattern of fast food consumption among the young adults. Results and Discussion: The study showed that many of the students unavoidably skipping the morning foods due to study pressure, morning – hurry and they had them at late- morning hours from the fast- foods outlets such as canteens or other hotels. Though, 90.7% of the students know the importance and negative consequences of break- fast skipping that are related to consumption of excessive fast- food habits, they have been severely addicted with the fast- foods. Conclusion: As a conclusion, the present study showed the importance of initiating the specific health programs, dietary guidelines and effective awareness for addressing the unhealthy issues related with the fast- food consumption among the student community.

Hypertension is a silent killer that is still a health concern globally including in Indonesia. Consumption of fast foods that contain a high level of natrium, fat, sodium, sugar and MSG can be one of the causes of hypertension. Therefore, this research aimed at exploring the relationship between fast food consumption and hypertension in Indonesian. This research used cross-sectional design with secondary data from Indonesian Family Life Survey 5 (2014-2015). The sampling scheme in this study is based on the 1st IFLS survey scheme, which was stratified based on provinces and urban and rural areas. Samples were taken randomly at the household level. 13 provinces were chosen which represented 83% of the total population and reflected the cultural and socio-economic diversity of the Indonesian people. Data analysis uses multivariate logistic regression. Out of 12,105 respondents those who majority of participants consumed fast foods (73%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fast food consumption did not have any significant relationship with hypertension (AdjOR = 1.02; Cl 95% = 0.65-1.61; p > 0.05). However, males and respondents who worked were significantly associated with hypertension. Fast food consumption patterns did not correlate to hypertension among Indonesian. However, people need to pay attention to fast food overconsumption in order to be prevented from having hypertension. Future research is needed with other methods in such case-control by adding various risk factors of hypertension. Abstrak Hipertensi merupakan silent killer yang hingga kini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di dunia termasuk di Indonesia. Konsumsi makanan cepat saji yang mengandung tinggi natrium, tinggi lemak, tinggi sodium, tinggi gula dan MSG menjadi penyebab kejadian hipertensi. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengekplorasi hubungan pola konsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan kejadian hipertensi pada penduduk dewasa di Indonesia. Rancangan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu cross sectional. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dari The Indonesian Family Live Survey gelombang 5 (IFLS-5). Skema pengambilan sampel dalam survei ini didasarkan pada skema pengambilan survei IFLS gelombang 1, yang dilakukan secara bertingkat berdasarkan propinsi dan wilayah perkotaan dan pedesaan. Sampel diambil secara acak pada skala rumah tangga. Terpilih 13 propinsi sebagai sampel yang merepresentasikan 83% dari total populasi serta mencerminkan keanekaragaman budaya serta sosial ekonomi masyarakat Indonesia. Analisis data menggunakan multivariate regresi logistik. Dari 12.105 responden, mayoritas responden sering mengkonsumsi makanan cepat saji (73%). Analisis multivariat menunjukan bahwa orang yang sering mengkonsumsi makanan cepat saji tidak berhubungan secara signifikan terhadap kejadian hipertensi (AdjOR = 1,02; CI 95% = 0,65-1,61; p>0,05). Namun responden berjenis kelamin laki-laki dan yang bekerja secara signifikan berhubungan dengan hipertensi. Pola konsumsi makanan cepat saji tidak berhubungan terhadap kejadian hipertensi pada penduduk dewasa di Indonesia. Meskipun begitu konsumsi makanan cepat saji berlebih perlu menjadi perhatian bagi masyarakat agar terhindar dari hipertensi. Diharapkan ada pembuktian hubungan antara makanan cepat saji dengan hipertensi dengan metode lain seperti case control dengan menambahkan berbagai variabel-variabel lain yang kemungkinkan merupakan faktor risiko terhadap kejadian hipertensi.
