AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the dietary intake and physical activity of boys and girls aged 9–13 years, and the influence of peers on these behaviours.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingNine primary and secondary schools in south-west London.SubjectsA total of 315 children wore sealed pedometers, provided self-report measures of dietary intake and answered a questionnaire relating to peer influence. Anthropometric measures of height and weight were also obtained.ResultsObese children had the lowest reported energy intakes and the lowest step counts per day. Boys took significantly more steps per day than girls, however girls were closer to achieving their recommended cut-offs for physical activity. Girls had lower energy intakes per day and lower BMI Z-scores than boys, however both genders, across all age groups, had higher than recommended intakes of saturated fat. There were significant associations between peer influence and physical activity levels but not between peer influence and dietary intake.ConclusionsLow energy intake and physical activity levels but high saturated fat intakes among boys and girls across all age groups highlight the importance of promoting both physical activity and healthy food choices. The finding that peers have a significant effect on physical activity levels but not on dietary intake offers an important approach for the design of health promotion interventions and obesity prevention programmes. Such designs may be particularly beneficial for obese youth, since the low physical activity levels found could be a major contributing factor to the maintenance of the condition.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a positive or negative relationship between the quality of life of the students and their physical activity levels (PAL). A total of 469 students participated in the study (female = 209, male = 260). The physical activity levels of the participants were determined as "International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF)" and their quality of life was determined by the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF). In the statistical analysis, parametric tests were used because of the normal and homogeneous distribution of the data. The difference between PAL and quality of life scores was evaluated by MANOVA test. The relationship between PAL and quality of life of the participants was tested by Pearson Correlation test. The overall health status of the participants was 87% (n = 408) good-very good and the level of physical activity was 88.1% (n = 413) moderate-high active. There was no statistically significant difference between the PAL and quality of life scores of the participants. After Pearson Correlation test, there was no correlation between PAL and quality of life at r2 at p

Lack of physical activity is one of the risk factors that cause death in the world. The risk of heart disease, diabetes mellitus and hypertension can be reduced by performing regular physical activity. In addition, the positive impact is on energy balance and weight control. The aim of this study was to obtain the overview of physical activity of the population within urban areas and its relation to their age. This study used a cross-sectional design and data collection was conducted in May - June 2018, located in urban and densely populated areas in Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta Administrative City, Jakarta Province with a sample of 123 respondents. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling and data collection employed questionnaire interviews. This study found that the average age of respondents in this study indicated 41.8 years old and the most common physical activity carried out was walking (67%). Only jogging activity has a significant relationship with age (p-value = 0.003) and gymnastics exercise time (p-value = 0.036). An effort needs to be made to improve sports facilities and infrastructure in accordance to age groups, and to promote and educate regarding physical activities in order to increase community knowledge and participation.

BACKGROUND Exercise identity is an important predictor for regular physical activity (PA). There is a lack of research on the potential mechanisms or antecedents of identity development. Theories of exercise identity have proposed that investment, commitment and self-referential (eg, I am an exerciser) statements, and social activation (comparison, support) may be crucial to identity development. Social media may be a potential mechanism to shape identity. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to (1) explore whether participants were willing to share their Instagram data with researchers to predict their lifestyle behaviors; (2) examine whether PA-related Instagram uses (ie, the percentage of PA-related Instagram posts, fitness-related followings, and the number of likes received on PA-related posts) were positively associated with exercise identity; and (3) evaluate whether exercise identity mediates the relationship between PA-related Instagram use and weekly PA minutes. METHODS Participants (18-30 years old) were asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate their current levels of exercise identity and PA. Participants’ Instagram data for the past 12 months before the completion of the questionnaire were extracted and analyzed with their permission. Instagram posts related to PA in the 12 months before their assessment, the number of likes received for each PA-related post, and verified fitness- or PA-related followings by the participants were extracted and analyzed. Pearson correlation analyses were used to evaluate the relationship among exercise identity, PA, and Instagram uses. We conducted mediation analyses using the PROCESS macro modeling tool to examine whether exercise identity mediated the relationship between Instagram use variables and PA. Descriptive statistical analyses were used to compare the number of willing participants versus those who were not willing to share their Instagram data. RESULTS Of the 76 participants recruited to participate, 54% (n=41) shared their Instagram data. The percentage of PA-related Instagram posts (<i>r</i>=0.38; <i>P</i>=.01) and fitness-related Instagram followings (<i>r</i>=0.39; <i>P</i>=.01) were significantly associated with exercise identity. The average number of “likes” received (<i>r</i>=0.05, <i>P</i>=.75) was not significantly associated with exercise identity. Exercise identity significantly influenced the relationship between Instagram usage metrics (ie, the percentage of PA-related Instagram posts [<i>P</i>=.01] and verified fitness-related Instagram accounts [<i>P</i>=.01]) and PA level. Exercise identity did not significantly influence the relationship between the average number of “likes” received for the PA-related Instagram posts and PA level. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that an increase in PA-related Instagram posts and fitness-related followings were associated with a greater sense of exercise identity. Higher exercise identity led to higher PA levels. Exercise identity significantly influenced the relationship between PA-related Instagram posts (<i>P</i>=.01) and fitness-related followings on PA levels (<i>P</i>=.01). These results suggest that Instagram may influence a person’s exercise identity and PA levels. Future intervention studies are warranted.

Abstract Objectives: to correlate the levels of job satisfaction (JS) and quality of life (QOL) of public maternity workers. Methods: quantitative and correlational cross-sectional study. Sample composed of 199 state public servants, of both genders, of different age groups and professions, working at the Women's Hospital Mother Luzia (WHML), in Macapá (AP). Three questionnaires were used: Sociodemographic, Job Satisfaction S20/23 and WHOQOL-Brief. Statistical analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and analysis of variance, with statistical significance at 5%. Results: most of the sample consisted of women (84.2%), aged between 30 and 39 years (40.7%), with a partner (64.3%), practicing physical activity (50.8%). With university education, (61.8%), income up to four minimum wages (53.3%), worked in two or more jobs (53.7%); and weekly workload of up to 30 hours (79.4%). They reported job dissatisfaction (75.4%). The average overall QOL was 65.62 (± 12.45). JS was associated with QOL (p<0.001) and number of jobs (p = 0.019). QOL was associated with male gender (p= 0.022), income (p= 0.004), ST (p <0.001), physical activity (p= 0.067) and workload (p= 0.011). The correlations between JS and QOL were all significant. Conclusions: the quality of life of WHML workers was directly and progressively associated with job satisfaction, which meant that higher levels of job satisfaction favored the quality of life.
