Trends in Management of Overweight and Obesity in Obstetrics & Gynecology, Family Medicine and Pediatrics 2011-2015

Objetivo: evaluar la asociación entre ansiedad, sobrepeso y obesidad en derechohabientes mayores de edad adscritos a una unidad de medicina familiar. Métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal analítico en la Unidad de Medicina Familiar (umf) no. 77 del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (imss), Estado de México, de marzo a octubre de 2019; se incluyó a derechohabientes de 18 a 65 años, de ambos sexos, que presentaran sobrepeso u obesidad. Para determinar el grado de ansiedad se utilizó el Cuestionario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (stai) y se determinó el índice de masa corporal (imc). Se realizó análisis descriptivo con medidas de tendencia central y se utilizó la prueba de χ2 para analizar la asociación de variables. Resultados: se incluyeron 282 pacientes, 32 de ellos presentaron sobrepeso, 117, obesidad grado I, 100, obesidad grado ii y 33, obesidad grado iii. Al evaluar el grado de ansiedad, 37 pacientes manifestaron no presentar esta entidad, 109, presentaron ansiedad leve, 88, ansiedad moderada y 48, ansiedad severa. Se determinó una asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.05) entre ansiedad, sobrepeso y obesidad. Conclusión: la mayoría de los pacientes analizados presentó algún grado de ansiedad; existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre ansiedad, sobrepeso y obesidad; es necesario realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno para evitar complicaciones futuras asociadas a las variables de estudio.

Breakfast Skipping

Abstract.Aim: To assess the association of breakfast skipping with overweight and obesity among children in Albania, a post-communist country in the Western Balkans, which is undergoing a long and difficult political and socioeconomic transition towards a market-oriented economy. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional study was carried out in Albania in 2013 including a representative sample of 5810 children aged 7.0 – 9.9 years (49.5% girls aged 8.4 ± 0.6 years and 51.5% boys aged 8.5 ± 0.6 years; overall response rate: 97%). Children were measured for height and weight, and body mass index (BMI) calculated. Cut-off BMI values of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) were used to define overweight and obesity in children. Demographic data were also collected. Results: Upon adjustment for age, sex, and place of residence, breakfast skipping was positively related to obesity (WHO criteria: OR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.3–1.9; IOTF criteria: OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.4–2.5), but not overweight (OR = 1.1, 95% CI = 0.9–1.3 and OR = 1.1, 95% CI = 0.9–1.4, respectively). Furthermore, breakfast skipping was associated with a higher BMI (multivariable-adjusted OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.02–1.07). Conclusions: Our findings point to a strong and consistent positive relationship between breakfast skipping and obesity, but not overweight, among children in this transitional southeastern European population. Future studies in Albania and other transitional settings should prospectively examine the causal role of breakfast skipping in the development of overweight and obesity.
