Abstract Introduction: Light/dark cycles are the main synchronizing signal (zeitgeber) that entrain human’s internal clock to the 24h-days. Some aspects of urban environments, including irregular light exposure and weak zeitgebers, influence the circadian organization and thereby may have an impact on metabolism. Comparing communities at different levels of urbanization and with different histories of access to electricity might provide evidence to support associations previously found between disrupted patterns of light exposure and increased populational rates of overweight and obesity. The present study aimed to investigate whether living at a higher level of urbanization would be associated with higher body mass index (BMI). It was hypothesized that BMI is higher in urbanized communities, since their inhabitants have weaker zeitgebers, often associated with disrupted circadian rhythms. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Quilombolas communities, located in the south of Brazil. Subjects were categorized into 5 groups based on their communities’ stage of urbanization and history of access to electricity: from rural with no access to electricity to highly urbanized communities that have access to the grid. We used data from 134 participants aged 16 - 92 years old (63% women), who had 7 days of light exposure recordings collected using wrist-worn actimeters. We also collected anthropometric data to calculate BMI, which was then categorized as follows: ≥18.5 kg/m² to <25 kg/m² = normal weight; ≥25 kg/m² to < 30 kg-m² = overweight; ≥ 30 kg/m² = obesity. We used Shapiro-Wilk to test for normality, Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn to compare BMI between groups and Spearman to assess whether there was an association between patterns of light exposure and BMI. Results: Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn test showed a significant difference in BMI between the urban group and the rural ones (KW: X² = 11.987, p < 0.001). Lower average light exposure between 7 am and 5 pm was significantly correlated with higher BMI (Spearman, r = - 0.296, p < 0.001). Also, higher average light exposure at night (from 1 am to 6 am) was significantly correlated with higher BMI (Spearman, r = 0.256, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that low amplitudes of light exposure may be a risk factor contributing to the high prevalence of obesity worldwide. Studies have previously shown associations between BMI and social jetlag, suggesting the correlations found in our study may be related to higher levels of circadian misalignment, more often present where zeitgeber strength is lower, as in urban environments. Future research is needed to address causal relationships between light exposure and excessive body mass in humans. Provided light exposure is a risk factor for obesity, these results point to potential new targets for intervention and prevention strategies.

Background and objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between aerobic capacity and other parameters determining fitness in primary school. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study, 298 schoolchildren (139 males and 159 females) aged 8-12. Body composition (weight and height) and physical fitness (capacity, motor aerobic and musculoskeletal) was assessed by ALPHA-Fitness battery. Aerobic capacity and body mass index (under/normal-weight and overweight/obesity) were categorized using standard criteria. The variable motor / muscle overall capacity was calculated, and the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) was indirectly estimated. Results: The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) found that men have better values in the test 4x10m (p <0.001), longitudinal jump (p <0.001), Course-Navette (p <0.001) and in VO2max (p <0.001). The ANOVA test showed that schoolchildren with better aerobic capacity have lower weight and body mass index (p <0.001 for both), better performance in the test longitudinal jump (p <0.001) and better overall motor / muscle capacity, and increased VO2max (p <0.001 for both). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that schoolchildren with healthy cardiorespiratory fitness had better physical fitness and are more likely to have healthy anthropometric parameters.

Introduction: Obesity and overweight are important public health problems. Mindfulness can promote healthier living and dietary habits, which might support weight loss. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between eating awareness and body mass index (BMI) and body composition in adults. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 446 volunteers. The heights, weights, and waist circumferences of the participants were measured, and bioelectrical impedance analyses were performed. A sociodemographic information form prepared by the researchers and the Turkish version of the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) were administered to the volunteers. Results: In this study, 31.2% (n = 139) of the participants were overweight and 46.9% (n = 209) were obese. There was no statistically significant relationship between gender and BMI. The total mean MEQ score was found to be 88.26 ± 13.3 (53–144). The awareness scores of women of normal weight were statistically significantly higher than those of women with obesity (p = 0.001). There was no difference between BMI categories and awareness scores among male participants. While participants with obesity had higher scores for eating disinhibition, their eating control, eating discipline, and interference scores were lower than those of participants with normal weight (p < 0.001). A weak statistically significant correlation was found between the awareness subdimension of the scale and the ages, BMIs, waist circumferences, and body fat rates of the participants. Conclusion: It was observed that mindful eating was lower in women with overweight and obesity than that in women with normal weight. We believe that it is important to increase awareness of eating in order to protect against the diseases caused by obesity and for a healthy life.

Introduction: Obesity has significant physical and psychological implications along with severe impacts on social and interpersonal relationships of individuals. The present work is a comparative study between normal weight, overweight and obese individuals with respect to their personality traits and attachment in romantic relationships, it also aims to explore the relationship of body mass index with the variables chosen. Material And Method: The total sample size was 90. The study was conducted upon three groups-the three groups consisted of 30 normal weight participants, 30 overweight participants and 30 obese participants each. Participants were grouped on the basis of their Body Mass Index (BMI)- which was calculated from self-reported measures of height and weight. All participants were administered the NEO-Five Factor Inventory and the Experiences in Close Relationships- Revised Questionnaire. On the basis of the obtained data, an Independent Samples t-test was done to see if there existed any significant difference between the groups. A Pearson’s coefficient correlation was performed for the total sample and a Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to see if any of the variables were significant predictors of BMI for the present sample. Results: Significant differences existed between the groups in case of neuroticism, extraversion, openness and conscientiousness. The BMI of adults in the present sample has a significant positive correlation with openness and anxious attachment in romantic relationships and a significant negative correlation with extraversion and conscientiousness. Openness and conscientiousness were also significant predictors of BMI for the present sample. Conclusion: The study adds significant findings to the interaction of obesity with the big five personality traits and sheds light on how attachment in romantic relationships is often affected by the weight stigma.

AbstractObjectiveSeveral previous studies have evaluated associations between body mass index (BMI) and self-rated health (SRH); however, the results were inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the association between BMI and SRH in Korean adults.MethodsThe study was conducted in 214,997 adults who participated in the 2016 Korean Community Health Survey. Participants were categorized into four groups based on BMI: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), or obese (≥30.0 kg/m2). Multivariate Poisson regression analysis with sampling weights and robust variance estimators was performed to evaluate the relationship between BMI categories and poor SRH.ResultsThere was a J-shaped association between BMI and poor SRH in both sexes, with the lowest risk observed in the normal weight group in both sexes. Compared with normal weight subjects, the age and lifestyle adjusted prevalence rate ratios for poor SRH were 1.61 (95% CI, 1.50–1.74) for underweight, 1.16 (95% CI, 1.11–1.21) for overweight, and 2.35 (95% CI, 2.13–2.58) for obese men; and 1.24 (95% CI, 1.17–1.32) for underweight, 1.26 (95% CI, 1.22–1.31) for overweight, and 1.77 (95% CI, 1.64–1.91) for obese women.ConclusionsIn a cross-sectional study using a nationally representative survey, there was a nonlinear relationship between BMI and poor SRH. This relationship was more prominent in men than in women. Prospective studies are needed to further clarify the relationship between BMI and SRH.

Das28 Remission

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased body mass index (BMI)- 60% of patients are either overweight or obese. Obesity in RA has been shown to predict reduced response to biologic therapy including tumour-necrosis-factor inhibitors (TNFi) [1]. However, it is not clear whether increased BMI influences response to all TNFi drugs in RA.Objectives:1.To explore whether BMI is associated with response to TNFi in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (estRA), including those newly-starting on these drugs.Methods:Participants with estRA (>1year since diagnosis) taking biologic medications, registered on METEOR (international database of RA patients), 2008-2013, were included. EULAR response, DAS28 remission (including components), and treatment regimens were recorded at baseline, 6, and 12 months. WHO definitions of overweight (BMI≥ 25) and obese (BMI≥30) were explored as predictors of TNFi response (good EULAR response and DAS28 remission) using normal BMI as comparator. Logistic and linear regression models (controlling for age, gender, smoking, and baseline outcomes) and sensitivity analyses were performed. Subgroup analyses were performed for grouped TNFi and individual TNFi (infliximab, IFX; adalimumab, ADA; etanercept, ETN).Results:247 patients with estRA were taking a biologic at 6 months, and 231 patients were taking a biologic at 12 months. Obese patients taking any biologic were significantly less likely to achieve DAS28 remission (OR 0.33 [95%CI 0.12-0.80]) or good EULAR response (OR 0.37 [95%CI 0.16-0.81]) after 6 months, compared to those of normal BMI; this was also demonstrated in those co-prescribed methotrexate (DAS28 remission: OR 0.23 [95%CI 0.07-0.62]; good EULAR response: OR 0.39 [95%CI 0.15-0.92]). These associations did not remain statistically significant at the 12 months assessment.Regarding specific anti-TNF therapies, RA patients treated with monoclonal antibody (-mab) TNFis (IFX/ADA/ GOL) were significantly less likely to achieve good EULAR response at 6 months if they were obese RA (n=38), compared to those of normal weight (n=44) (OR 0.17 [95%CI 0.03-0.59]). A similar non-significant difference was demonstrated for DAS28 remission, and 12-month remission. Specifically, obese individuals were significantly less likely to achieve good EULAR response at 6 months with IFX (OR 0.09 [95%CI 0.00-0.61]; n=20), and significantly less likely to achieve DAS28 remission at 6 months when newly-starting ADA (OR 0.14 [95%CI 0.01-0.96]; n=17), compared to those of normal weight. There were no significant differences in remission outcomes between individuals of different BMI taking ETN. A small number of individuals stopped taking their respective biologic after 6months; reason for cessation was not recorded.Similar outcomes were seen in patients already established on anti-TNF therapy, with overweight and obese individuals less likely overall to be in DAS28 remission at all time points.Conclusion:In established RA, obesity is associated with reduced treatment response to -mab TNFi. No association between increased BMI and response to ETA was observed. Using BMI to direct biologic drug choice could prove to be a simple and cost-effective personalised-medicine approach to prescribing.References:[1]Schäfer M, Meißner Y, Kekow J, Berger S, Remstedt S, Manger B, et al.

Background and aimObesity paradox has aroused increasing concern in recent years. However, impact of obesity on outcomes in intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate association of body mass index (BMI) with in-hospital mortality, complications and discharge disposition in ICH.MethodsData were from 85 705 ICH enrolled in the China Stroke Center Alliance study. Patients were divided into four groups: underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese according to Asian-Pacific criteria. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes included non-routine discharge disposition and in-hospital complications. Discharge to graded II or III hospital, community hospital or rehabilitation facilities was considered non-routine disposition. Multivariable logistic regression analysed association of BMI with outcomes.Results82 789 patients with ICH were included in the final analysis. Underweight (OR=2.057, 95% CI 1.193 to 3.550) patients had higher odds of in-hospital mortality than those with normal weight after adjusting for covariates, but no significant difference was observed for patients who were overweight or obese. No significant association was found between BMI and non-disposition. Underweight was associated with increased odds of several complications, including pneumonia (OR 1.343, 95% CI 1.138 to 1.584), poor swallow function (OR 1.351, 95% CI 1.122 to 1.628) and urinary tract infection (OR 1.532, 95% CI 1.064 to 2.204). Moreover, obese patients had higher odds of haematoma expansion (OR 1.326, 95% CI 1.168 to 1.504), deep vein thrombosis (OR 1.506, 95% CI 1.165 to 1.947) and gastrointestinal bleeding (OR 1.257, 95% CI 1.027 to 1.539).ConclusionsIn patients with ICH, being underweight was associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Being underweight and obese can both increased risk of in-hospital complications compared with having normal weight.
