Abstract Background: The relationship between obesity and prevalent hypertension in older adults has predominantly been estimated using categorical measures of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), masking the shape of the dose-response relationship. We aimed to examine the precise relationship of BMI, WC with hypertension, and to assess the appropriate level of BMI and WC for hypertension. Methods: We examined data for 126,123 individuals in Xinzheng city aged ≥60 years from a population based study from January to December 2019. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were applied to assess the relationship and the appropriate level of BMI and WC for hypertension. An additive interaction analysis was used to test synergistic effects between a higher BMI and WC for hypertension. Results: The full-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of an increase of 1 kg/m2 in BMI and 1 cm in WC for hypertension were 1.084 (1.080-1.087) and 1.025 (1.024-1.027), respectively. Multivariable adjusted restricted cubic spline analyses showed the nonlinear relationships of BMI and WC with hypertension in both men and women (all P<0.001). The risk of hypertension increased steeply with increasing BMI from ≥25 kg/m2 and WC ≥ 88 cm or 86 cm for males and females, respectively. And we observed a significant additive interaction between a higher BMI and WC such that the prevalence of hypertension was significantly enhanced. Conclusion: These findings suggest increased hypertension prevalence in the elderly population with increased BMI and WC. BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2 and WC ≤ 88 cm or 86 cm for males and females may be the best suggestion with regard to primary prevention of hypertension in older adults.

Consistent Tendency

We have studied steroid hormone profiles in young men with normal body mass index suffering obesity and metabolic syndrome. They showed a consistent tendency toward a shift in blood aldosterone level to the upper normal level and beyond. It was higher in patients with metabolic syndrome than with obesity. The testosterone levels displayed the downward trend from normal through obesity to metabolic syndrome values. The main predictors of testosterone dynamics in the course of development of obesity and metabolic syndrome were insulin concentration and BMI. Dynamics of dehydroepiandrosterone levels followed that of testosterone. It significantly decreased in men with metabolic syndrome compared with health subjects. Young men presenting with obesity and metabolic syndrome did not experience changes in morning and evening cortisol levels in peripheral blood. The study revealed the relationship between aldosterone levels and the development of metabolic syndrome mediated through the body mass index and the direct relationship between metabolic syndrome and testosterone dynamics.

BACKGROUND : Health problem that caused by higher BMI have grown broadly. Musculoskeletaldisorders due to higher BMI will cause an excessive burden on the lumbosacral joints. .Moreover, excess waistcircumference can also lead to malformation of lumbal curvature.Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between higher Body Mass Index (BMI) and excesswaist circumference with the higher curvature in young adult.Method: This study used observational study with cross-sectional design involving 88 students whoperformed measurement of body weight, height, and waist circumfrences, also lumbar curve examination. Themeasurement of waist circumference was done by circling the flexible tape on waist. For the measurement ofthe lumbar curve,each respondent is measured by a flexible ruler.Results: chi square test obtained p = 0,000 in high BMI with the increasing of lumbar curve and p = 0,000 inexcess waist circumference with the increasing of lumbar curve. So, there is a correlation between higher BMIand excess waist circumference with the increase of lumbar curve in the young adults.Conclusions: In this study showed that higher BMI and excess waist circumference have correlation with theincrease of lumbar curve in the students.Keywords: body mass index, waist circumference, tape measure, hyperlordosis, flexible ruler.

The Relationship

The current investigation assessed the impact of active school transportation (AST) on average daily step counts, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference in 315 children in Grades 4–6 who participated to Cycle 2 of the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL) pilot testing. T-tests revealed a significant association between AST and lower BMI values (18.7 ± 3.3 vs. 19.9 ± 3.8 kg/m2). The active commuters accumulated an average of 662 more steps per day, and their waist circumference was lower by an average of 3.1 cm, but these differences were not statistically significant. ANCOVA analyses controlling for age and step counts, found trends toward lower BMI and waist circumference values among the active commuters. These results suggest that AST may be a valid strategy to prevent childhood obesity; further research is needed to determine more precisely the impact of AST on body composition, and the direction of the relationship.

The aim of this research is to study the relationship between the body mass index and life quality of ninth grade students after controlling their self esteem values. In the research Self-Esteem Scale was used to determine the points for self-esteem and Kiddo-Kindl-Adolescent Form was used for the perceptions of life quality. The students in the study group consists of 327 (45.3%) girls and  395 (54.7%) boys, It consists of a total of 722 students,  and the average age is 15.2. When analyzed in terms of body mass index it was found out that of the students 16.8% are low weight, 70.9% are moderate and 12.3% are owerweight.  When the results obtained by the research was examined it was observed that there are meaningful relationships between body mass index (BMI) values and self-esteem and life quality  and between self-esteem and life quality. However, when the self-esteem values of the adolescent individuals were excluded within the scope of the research, the relationship between BMI and life quality points which previously show meaningful level positive relationship is almost non-existent. According to these findings the life quality of the adolescent obese may be low only if his/her self-esteem is low. The findings which obtained with this research were argued within the frames of existing research findings. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, dokuzuncu sınıf öğrencilerinin benlik saygıları kontrol altına alındıktan sonra beden kitle indeksi ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmada benlik saygısı puanlarını belirlemek için Kendine Saygı Ölçeği, yaşam kalitesi algıları için Kiddo-Kindl-Ergen Formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunda bulunan öğrencilerin 327'si (%45.3) kız ve 395'i (%54.7) erkek, toplam 722 öğrenciden oluşmuştur ve yaş ortalaması 15.2'dir. Beden kitle indeksleri bakımından incelendiğinde öğrencilerin %16,8'inin düşük kilolu, % 70.9’ unun orta ve %12.3' ünün obez olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde, öğrencilerin Beden Kitle İndeksi (BKİ) değerleri ile benlik saygısı ve yaşam kalitesi arasında ve benlik saygısı ile yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, araştırma kapsamında ergen bireylerin benlik saygısı değerleri dışta tutulduğunda, daha önce anlamlı düzeyde olumlu ilişki gösteren BKİ ve yaşam kalitesi puanları arasındaki ilişki neredeyse ortadan kalkmaktadır. Elde edilen bu bulguya göre ergen obez, ancak eğer benlik saygısı düşükse, yaşam kalitesinin de düşük olabileceğini göstermektedir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular var olan araştırma bulguları çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
