In comparison with western populations, body mass index (BMI) of the Japanese population is typically lower. In this study, the relationship between BMI and other metabolic risk factors was examined in 1,130 male manufacturing workers surveyed from 2000 to 2003. The association between the BMI and the relative risk of hypertension was evaluated in a cross-sectional design using logistic regression analysis. The mean BMI in the subjects was 23.6 ( SD = 3.2). Of the total number of subjects, 26.6% and 3.3% were classified as pre-obese and obese, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that BMI of 23 or greater was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia. Health education of weight control of borderline obesity of workers is important for the primary prevention of hypertension and hyperlipidemia in Japan.

AbstractBackground:Although a number of studies have examined the relationship between depression and obesity, it is still insufficient to establish the specific pattern of relationship between depression and body mass index (BMI) categories. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the relationship between depression and BMI categories.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted for a cohort of 159,390 Korean based on Kangbuk Samsung Health Study (KSHS). Study participants were classified into 5 groups by Asian-specific cut-off of BMI (18.5, 23, 25 and 30 kg/m2). The presence of depression was determined by Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scales (CES-D) = 16 and = 25. The adjusted odd ratios (ORs) for depression were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis, in which independent variable was 5 categories of BMI and dependent variable was depression. Subgroup analysis was conducted by gender and age.Results:When normal group was set as a reference, the adjusted ORs for depression formed U-shaped pattern of relationship with BMI categories [underweight: 1.31 (1.14–1.50), overweight: 0.94 (0.85–1.04), obese group: 1.01 (0.91–1.12), severe obese group: 1.28 (1.05–1.54)]. This pattern of relationship was more prominent in female and young age group than male and elderly subgroup. BMI level with the lowest likelihood of depression was 18.5 kg/m2 to 25 kg/m2 in women and 23 kg/m2 to 25 kg/m2 in men.Conclusions:There was a U-shaped relationship between depression and BMI categories. This finding suggests that both underweight and severe obesity are associated with the increased risk for depression.

Objective: To investigate the adaptation of pregnant women to the recommended weight gain range according to body mass index (BMI) and to determine the factors affecting them. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in a university hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology unit (tertiary center) in Turkey. This study was conducted between March 2018 and August 2018 (6 months) in pregnant women. Pregnant women with chronic disease and receiving treatment during antenatal follow-up, with twin pregnancy, with a fetus with a congenital abnormality, and nutritional disturbance were excluded from the study. Eight hundred twelve pregnant women with normal antenatal follow-up and who volunteered to participate were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the participants was 27.66±5.05 years. The mean weight and BMI before pregnancy were near standard in all participants. The group with the highest rate of recommended weight gain according to BMI before pregnancy was the group with low weight pregnant women. The ideal weight gain rate in all groups was 32%. Conclusions: The groups with overweight and obese pregnant women according to BMI before pregnancy had the highest rates of weight gain, above the recommended limits. BMI before pregnancy directly affects weight gain during pregnancy and the importance of pre-pregnancy counseling and weight loss is emphasized once again. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.5.133 How to cite this:Ozdilek R, Aba YA, Aksoy SD, Sik BA, Akpak YK.

Indonesia is predicted to experience a demographic bonus period, namely the number of productive age population (aged 15-64 years) of 64%. The prevalence of obesity at productive age from 2007 to 2018 has increased from 8.6% to 13.6%. Obesity will result in high percent body fat andvisellar fat, and will result in various non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer and other non-metabolic complications such as arthritis. The onset of this disease in obese people is preceded by a group of symptoms such as hypertension, insulinresistance, dyslipidemia. Objectives: To determine the relationship between Body Mass Index and Percent body fat and to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index and Viscelar Fat. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design with purposive sampling method, namely thosevisiting the Aisyiyah Regional Leadership Stand in Semarang City at the Expo of Community Organizations in Semarang City. The sample is 115 people. Results: This study found that 35 (30.4%) men and 80 (69.6%) women, Average Age: (45.14 ± 14.55) years, Body Mass Index (25.39 ± 3.96), mean percent body fat (32.63 ± 6.68) mean viscelar fat (7.93 ± 5.13). There is a relationship between BMI and percent body fat (p = 0.000) and there is a relationship between BMI and Viscelar fat (p = 0.000).Keywords: Body Mass Index, percent body fat, Viscelar fat

Body mass index (BMI) and cardiorespiratory fitness are considered risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Chronic inflammation associated with adiposity as well as the hemodynamic changes that occur when there is an increase in BMI suggests a possible association between BMI and cardiorespiratory fitness. This study aims to analyze the relationship between BMI and cardiorespiratory fitness. A cross-sectional study was conducted using weighted cardiac training test results for the period January 1st, 2014 to December 31, 2019, from the Non-Invasive Diagnostic Division, the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Subjects included in the study were those who achieved the maximum estimated heart rate based on age or less than 10 beats per minute, and/or the exercise test was stopped due to fatigue with a Borg 17 scale. Patients with multiple conditions were excluded from the study (taking beta-blockers, having a history of heart failure and diabetes mellitus, currently undergoing cardiac rehabilitation), along with patients with incomplete data. The maximum oxygen consumption in the form of the metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs) was estimated based on the speed and inclination of the stage reached during the treadmill training test using the Bruce protocol. The percentage of fitness is obtained by comparing the METs achieved with the estimated maximum METs based on age and gender. The relationship between BMI and percentage of fitness was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The total number of subjects included in the study was 51 subjects. The mean BMI of the subjects was 25.65 ± 3.22 kg / m2. The mean fitness percentage was 107.29 ± 23.89. Analysis of the relationship between BMI and fitness showed a negative but insignificant relationship (r = -0.135, p = 0.345). An increase in body mass index has a tendency to be associated with a decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness.

Abstract: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (LLA) is the most common type of leukemia in children. Until now chemotherapy is still used as the main treatment. One aspect that affects the success of chemotherapy is body mass index (BMI). BMI values in children with LLA tend to be unstable, low, or high. This is triggered by natural immune cell disorders which have an impact on increasing cytokines and side effects of treatment. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and the achievement of remission in children with ALL. This was a retrospective and analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Samples were ALL patients who had been given induction phase of chemotherapy during 2015-2018 based on medical records at Estella Children's Cancer Center, Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. The results obtained 52 samples which were evaluated and analyzed to determine the relationship of BMI and the achievement of remission. The Spearman correlation test showed a significant value of p=0.799 (p>0.05). In conclusion, there was no relationship between BMI and the achievement of remission in children with ALLKeywords: body mass index, remission, acute lymphoblastic leukemia Abstrak: Leukemia limfoblastik akut (LLA) merupakan jenis leukemia yang paling sering terjadi pada anak-anak.

Background Evidence suggests that obesity may be related toearly onset of puberty in girls. However, few studies have found alink between body mass index (BMI) and puberty onset in boys.More study is needed to assess the relationship of BMI to penilelength and testicular volume.Objective To investigate the relationship ofBMI to penile lengthand testicular volume in adolescent boys.Methods A cross􀀿sectional study was carried out on adolescentboys aged 9 to 14 years in Secanggang District, Langkat Regency,North Sumatera Province in August 2009. Subjects' BMIs werecalculated by dividing body weight (BW) in kilograms by bodyheight (BH) in meters squared. Penile length (em) was measuredwith a spatula. We took the average of three measurements fromthe symphysis pubis to the tip of the glans penis. Testicular volume(mL) was estimated by palpation using an orchidometer. Pearson'scorrelation test (r) was used to assess the relationship of BMI topenile length and BMI to testicular volume.Resu lts There were 108 participants, consisting of 64primary school students and 44 junior high school students.Subjects' mean age was 11.7 (SO 1.62) years; mean BWwas 35.2 (SO 8.48) kg; mean BH was 1.4 (SO 0.11) m;mean BMI was 17.5 (SO 2.34) kg/m'; mean penile lengthwas 4.5 (SO 1.25) cm; and mean testicular volume was 3.6(SD 1.20) mL. We found no significant association betweenBMI and penile length (r􀀻-0.25, P􀀻0.06), nor betweenBMI and testicular volume (r􀀻-O.21; P􀀻O.09).Conclusion T here was no significant relationship ofBMI to penilelength nor BMI to testicular volume in adolescent boys.[Paediatr lndanes. 2012;52:267-71].

Abstract Objectives: to investigate the relation between maternal overweight and child’s anthropometric indices, identifying the interaction with the child's age. Methods: a cross-sectional study with mothers and their children under 2 years old. The mothers’ body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-height ratio was calculated. In children, we calculated height/age (H/A), body mass index/age (BMI/A), weight/height (W/H) and weight/age (W/A) indices. The means of the anthropometric indices of children with excess weight and maternal cardiometabolic risk were compared. Mothers and children’s anthropometric indices were correlated. Linear regression models were proposed. We investigated the child's age interaction with anthropometric variables of the dyad. Results: the means of BMI/A and W/H were higher in children of overweight mothers and the means of BMI/A, W/H and W/A were higher when mothers had increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases. There was an association of maternal weight and height with the W/A index; maternal BMI with W/H; maternal height with H/A; maternal weight, BMI and waist circumference with BMI/A. The children's age did not interact with the assessed parameters. Conclusion: children under 2 years of age, whose mothers are overweight, tend to show changes in weight, regardless of age.
