Introduction: Obesity among health workers hinder the effectiveness of health promotion, harm their health, and reduce productivity in the workplace. Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the attribute variables, daily activity patterns, BMI and uric acid levels in nurses. Methods: The method in this study is a descriptive correlational using purposive sampling technique, amounting 50 respondents. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used for the physical activity data, BMI and checking uric acid levels. Results: The results showed Obese I BMI (58%), Obese II BMI (42%), Prediabetes fasting blood sugar levels (28%), Diabetes (4%). Moderate physical activity patterns is 80% METs- mins/week. Analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between age and physical activity patterns (METs- mins/week) with p value of 0,02<0,05. There is a significant relationship between marital status and physical activity patterns with p value of 0,005. There is also a significant relationship between chronic disease and uric acid levels with p value of 0,020<0,05. There is no significant relationship between BMI and uric acid levels with physical activity patterns (sig>0,05). Conclusion: Obesity among professional nurses has negative implications for the capacity, success, follow-up and safety of health services and the health of these nurses. Nurses need to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

Abstract Objectives Musical theatre performers are considered “athletes of the arts”, requiring excellent physical and vocal stamina to complete long rehearsals and meet performance expectations. These demands create emphasis on the importance of good nutritional intake. The purpose of this study was to assess dietary and physical activity patterns of professional musical theatre performers (MTPs) in comparison with non-performers (NPs). Methods The study was cross-sectional and used an online survey via Qualtrics. The survey included the 2010 National Cancer Institute (NCI) Diet History Questionnaire II (DHQ II) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form. The DHQ II Diet*Calc software was used to generate estimates of nutrient and food group intake. NCI SAS macros calculated Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2015 component and total scores. Statistical analyses were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25. Descriptive statistics were generated for both groups. Chi-square tests were used to assess categorical data and independent sample t-tests were used to compare continuous data between the two groups. Results A total of 134 participants were included in the final analysis, of which 58 were MTPs and 76 were NPs. Participants had an average age of 27.5 ± 8.5 years and average BMI of 23.3 ±5.5 kg/m2 with no significant differences between the two groups. There were no significant associations between the two groups for sex, ethnicity, race, or educational level. MTPs obtained higher HEI scores (69.3 ± 8.5) in comparison with NPs (65.2 ± 8.6) (P = 0.007). MTPs engaged in vigorous and moderate physical activity more frequently than NPs (P < 0.001). Of the MTPs, approximately 70% reported experiencing injuries throughout their career, 44% reported following a special diet, and 10.5% reported previous eating disorder diagnosis. Conclusions This study found that the MTPs had higher diet quality compared to non-performers. However, the MTPs were more physically active than non-performers, and that prevalence of injuries among MTPs was high. Further research is needed to identify dietary needs of MTPs and develop appropriate nutrition education interventions for this unique population of “athletes in the arts”. Funding Sources None.

Hypertension is a disease due to lifestyle. Sports and physical activity is one of the things that can affect hypertension. The aim of the study was to identify the relationship between exercise and physical activity against blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the Muara Sanding Village of Garut. This type of research is descriptive correlative with a population of all hypertension patients who active in Prolanis activities that held once a week in the Muara Sanding village, Garut. The sampling technique is total hypertension patients as much 51 respondent. The instrument used is a questionnaire about exercise and physical activity and assessment of blood pressure. The analysis used bivariate. Most respondents did moderate activities (67%), and a small number did less exercise (37%). There is a significant relationship between blood pressure and exercise (p-value = 0.02), but there is no significant relationship between blood pressure and physical activity (p-value = 0, 38). Suggestions from this study are nurses providing health education about the importance of exercise and improving exercise habits in hypertension patients.

Background: Physical activity is a complex modifiable risk factor (RF) for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Current methods to measure physical activity are limited by the use of summary scores such as total metabolic equivalents score (METS). Hypothesis: Physical activity patterns derived by a data-driven clustering method are associated with CVD RFs independently of METS. Methods: The Northern Manhattan Study is a prospective cohort of older, urban-dwelling, multiethnic, stroke-free individuals. Questionnaires were used to capture multi-dimensions of leisure-time physical activity, which was summarized with METS (total activity minutes х intensity in MET). Participants were grouped into previously defined METS categories (less than 1, greater than 14, and 1-14), and also into clusters by multivariate finite mixture modeling based on activity frequency, duration, energy expenditure, and number of activity types. Bayesian information criterion was used to decide number of clusters. Associations between model-based clusters and 4 RFs (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, high waist circumference) were assessed in the entire cohort and in each METS category; associations between METS and RFs were assessed in each cluster. Chi-squared test was used. Results: Physical activity data were available in 3293, with mean age 69 years, 63% women, and 52% Hispanic. Six clusters were identified and labeled I-VI (Table 1). Model-based clusters were associated with all four RFs (all p≤0.01), with clusters V and VI having lower RFs prevalence than the others: the association with obesity prevailed among those with 1≤METS≤14 (p<0.01); and with hypertension among those with METS>14 (p=0.03). METS categories were associated with all four RFs in the entire cohort (all p≤0.04); METS and RFs became no longer significantly associated within clusters. Conclusions: A data-driven clustering method for depicting physical activity data is a principled, generalizable approach to form subgroups associated with CVD RFs independently of METS.

Background:Childhood obesity has become a modern epidemic with escalating rates. The aim of our study was to identify physical activity patterns among Greek schoolchildren and to examine their relationship with obesity.Methods:700 adolescents age 10 to 12 years were evaluated through a standardized questionnaire. Several demographic, socioeconomic, and physical activity characteristics were recorded. Physical activity was assessed and adolescents were characterized as active and nonactive. Body height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated in order to to classify subjects as overweight or obese (IOTF classification). Multiple logistic regression and multivariate techniques (principal components analysis) were performed.Results:Eight physical activity patterns were identified, including increased physical activity in weekdays and weekends, sports physical activity, vigorous, moderate, and low physical activity. Increased physical activity on weekends and vigorous physical activity in boys were negatively associated with being overweight or obese (OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.48−0.90 and OR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.49−0.88, correspondingly) and moderate physical activity was marginally positively associated in girls (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 0.97−1.69), after adjusting for several confounders.Conclusions:Our findings demonstrate the important role of vigorous physical activity in the maintenance of normal weight of adolescents
