Growth and development is a continuous process in the process of reaching adulthood, including the teenage stage. The problem that is often faced is physical change. Adolescent physical changes that appear are the increase in height and weight which affects the Body Mass Index (BMI). Height is one of the important things in adolescent growth and development. which is affected by genetic and environmental factors. The peak of growth in adolescents is different between boys and girls, so the pattern of height and BMI are also different. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in adolescent height based on age groups and BMI in Medical Faculty of UMM. This research is a comparative study by taking a sample of 100 medical students of UMM who have an age range of 17-20 years. The data to be taken is height measured using a MIC scale health scale ratio ratio. The measurement results have a numerical scale with units of centimeters (cm). Body mass index (BMI) is an index obtained from the division of body weight with height2. The measurement results are stated in kg / m2. All data obtained will be analyzed using the ANOVA comparative test. ANOVA test results generated p value in the two groups of students> 0.05 which concluded that the mean height of the student body based on age and BMI was not significantly different (not significant) statistically for both men and women. The conclusion from this study there were no differences in adolescent height based on age groups and BMI among medical students of UMM.

ABSTRACTObjective: Adequate sleep has been considered important for the adolescent’s health and well-being. On the other hand, self-imposed sleepcurtailment is now recognized as a potentially important and novel risk factor for obesity. The objective of the study is to find the association betweenshort sleep duration and obesity (by calculating the body mass index [BMI]) among medical students.Methods: The study was conducted on 100 medical students. A brief history of sleep duration was taken. The height and weight were taken and thebody mass index (BMI) was calculated by formula weight in kg / height in m. Based on the BMI criteria the students were classified into six groups:Underweight, normal, overweight, obese class I, obese class II and obese III. The waist circumference (WC) was also taken. The data obtained werestatistically analysed by ANOVA test and the p < 0.5 was considered significant.2Results: The present cross-sectional study showed that there is an association between short sleep duration and obesity which was highly significant(p<0.001). This study also shows that there is an association between short sleep duration and waist circumference which was also highly significant(p<0.001).Conclusion: The present study observed a high association of short sleep duration among medical students of IMS and SUM Hospital and that shortsleep duration was significantly associated with increased risk of overweight and obesity. We should further investigate whether adults adopting ahealthy lifestyle with short sleep duration would improve their sleeping habits or not.Keywords: Sleep duration, Body mass index, Waist circumference, Obesity.

Prevalence Of Anemia

ABSTRACTBackground: Anemia is a condition characterized by low levels of hemoglobin (Hb) from normal limits. Anemia is still a public health problem. Data states that the prevalence of anemia in Indonesia in 2013 was 21.7%, with the number of sufferers known to be higher in women than men. The prevalence of anemia in the age range 15 to 24 years was 18.4%. Nutritional status shows the balance of nutrients due to the consumption, absorption, and use of nutrients that come from food in the body. A person's nutritional status can be said to be deficient if the body lacks intake of one or more essential nutrients for the body. One of the indicators for assessing a person's nutritional status is the Body Mass Index (BMI). Inadequate nutritional status will affect the nutritional status of iron in a person' s body so that it can be interpreted that nutritional status is one of the factors of anemia. Consuming foods with good nutritional value, especially foods that contain high iron will also affect the nutritional status of these adolescents so that the risk of suffering from anemia will decrease.Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between body mass index and anemia among young women in Indonesia.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The data used are secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5. The population of this study was all Indonesians who participated in IFLS 5. The sample used in this study amounted to 3,525 respondents. IInclusion criteria of this study included female, aged 10-18 years, unmarried, having complete data regarding body weight, height and hemoglobin measurement results. If data related to the measurement results of hemoglobin, body weight, height are incomplete, they will be excluded.The statistical test was used is a chi-square test.Results: There was a relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and anemia among young women in Indonesia (p = 0.034 <0.05).Based on the odd ratio analysis using the normal Body Mass Index (BMI) group as a comparison, it is known that young women with underweight BMI categories have a 1.198 greater risk of experiencing anemia than girls with normal BMI categories.Conclusion: There is a relationship between BMI and anemia in adolescent girls. It is important for young women to always pay attention to daily iron intake by eating foods that are rich in iron or taking blood-booster tablets (TTD) to avoid anemia.

Central Hemodynamic

Background: One of the main negative factors of the educational environment is the increased stress impact on the cardiovascular system of students preparing for examinations. The cumulative effect of a long-term, systematic exposure to stressors may be accompanied by impaired mental and somatic health of students. The extent of response to stress is individual; it is usually determined by cardiovascular health and a complex of psychophysiological characteristics of the body. Objective: To study the main parameters of central hemodynamics in medical students depending on the body mass index and adaptive potential in the pre-examination study period Materials and methods: In spring–summer 2019, 170 medical students (young men and women aged 20.4 ± 0.3 years) with different adaptive potential of the circulatory system were surveyed during a pre-exam study period to establish their anthropometric indicators, blood pressure and heart rate and to further estimate the body mass index and the main central hemodynamics parameters. Results: The average heart rate of students during the pre-exam study period was 85.4 ± 12.21 beats per minute. The level of metabolic and energy processes in the myocardium was characterized as moderate with a tendency to insufficient functional capacity of the cardiovascular system (CI = 90.4 ± 1.22). Significant differences were revealed in a number of parameters un-der study depending on gender, body mass index (F = 3.99; p = 0.00890) and the adaptive potential of the circulatory system (F = 23.08; p = 0.00000). Conclusions: In the pre-examination study period, both the heart rate and the Kerdo index among the students were elevated, which indicates the predominance of sympathetic autonomic stress. The students with tense adaptation mechanisms demonstrated higher values of certain hemodynamic parameters. The pulse pressure and the Robinson index were higher in overweight students compared to their peers with a normal body mass index. None of the students with class 1 obesity had a satisfactory level of adaptation of the circulatory system. The analysis of central hemodynamic parameters enables the assessment of tolerance of the cardiovascular system of students to the burden of learning.

Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to analyse the deviations of the body posture and to assess the occurrence of spine deformities. Additionally, Body Mass Index in school children was related to the trend in postural deformities for different age groups (5-8 years old, n=112; 9-11 years old, n=205; 12-14 years old, n=212) as part of the project “Spine Lab”, granted from the European Commission IPA founds, investigating the importance of public health issues. Methods Body posture was measured using Contemplas 3D software analyser, based on video image trajectory and BIA weight scale (Tanita BC 420). Overall, 17 variables were assessed, and differences were confirmed using MANOVA analysis. Results The results showed that there is a significant difference between age groups for the measured variables (F=9.27; p<0.01; η2=0.26), suggesting a moderate difference across the age span. Conclusion The study results showed that there is a negative trend of increasing Body Mass Index within the first and youngest age group. The fact is that the trend of increasing deformity of the shoulder belt has been noted, often inclining towards the formation of milder forms of kyphotic posture. Other forms of deformity that are accentuated in the survey results are the negative trend of increasing pelvic rotation and pelvis rotation which inclines towards the formation of lordotic posture for all three age groups.

AIM: to determine whether there is a difference in the level of nutritional status of children across age groups, which would indicate the need for a change in caloric values of daily menus that are currently the same for all age groups in kindergartens in Split. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted during June 2020 in “Grigor Vitez” kindergarten in Split. All parents were asked to voluntarily complete a questionnaire with a guarantee of anonymity. The data on height and weight of children were used to calculate the nutritional indicators: the body mass index (BMI) and the percentile curves of the body mass index (% BMI), defined by gender and age. RESULTS: Data for 128 children aged 3 - 6.99 of the kindergarten "Grigor Vitez" were analyzed. Children in the selected kindergartens did not differ significantly in relation to the level of their nutritional status across age groups (3 – 3.99 years, 4 – 4.99 years, 5 – 5.99 years, 6 – 6.99 years). The highest average percentile was determined (60.30) in the age group of children aged 6.00 - 6.99, which is 12.89 points higher than the average value of the percentile of children aged 3.00 - 3.99 years, while no difference was found by testing (F = 0.936; p = 0.426). CONCLUSION: Only percentile values were compared between kindergarten groups, and so it can be concluded that meals may have appropriate energy values, which should be checked by analyzing the menus, and comparing them with the recommendations.

Проведен анализ связи латентных периодов простой сенсомоторной реакции на световой стимул (ЛПРC) и индекса массы тела (ИМТ) у подростков 15-17 лет. Распределение подростков на группы проведено в зависимости от их возраста (15, 16 и 17 лет), пола (юноши и девушки), а также величины ИМТ. В каждой половозрастной группе рассчитывали медиану и стандартное отклонение для ИМТ, средними считали величины от Me-1SD до Me+1SD, величины до (или равные) Me-1SD считали низким ИМТ, свыше (или равные) Me+1SD - высоким ИМТ. Показано, что во всех половозрастных группах подростки, различающиеся по величине ИМТ, реагируют на световой стимул с одинаковыми латентными периодами. При этом существуют гендерные различия по величине ЛРРС (юноши реагируют быстрее). В ряде случаев между ИМТ и ЛПРC выявлены корреляционные связи: у 16-летних девушек и 17-летних юношей выявлена отрицательная корреляционная связь ЛПРC с их ростом (более высокие подростки быстрее реагируют на стимул); у 16-летних юношей обнаружена отрицательная корреляция ЛПРC с массой тела и ИМТ (более крупные юноши быстрее реагируют на сигнал). Relations between the latent periods of the simple sensorimotor reaction to the light stimulus (LPRS) and the body mass index (BMI) in the adolescents aged 15-17 years were analyzed.The distribution of adolescents into groups was based on their age (15, 16 and 17 years), gender (boys and girls), and the value of BMI. In each sex-age group, the median and standard deviation for BMI were calculated, the mean values from Me-1SD to Me+1SD were interpreted as normal, the values up to (or equal to) Me-1SD were considered as low BMI, over (or equal) Me+1SD - as high BMI.It is shown that in all sex-age groups the adolescents, which differing in value of the body mass index react to a light stimulus with equal latency periods. However, there are gender differences in the latent periods of a simple sensorimotor reaction to a light stimulus (young men react more quickly).In a number of cases, correlation relationships have been revealed between BMI and LPRS: 16-year-old girls and 17-year-olds have negative correlation of LPRS with their growth (higher adolescents respond more quickly to stimulus); 16-year-olds have a negative correlation of LPRS with body weight and BMI (larger boys react more quickly to the signal).
