An important prerequisite to carry out daily activities is the sit-to-stand movement. However, in obese people, this movement is characterized by altered biomechanics, which might lead to daily life activity impairments. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in kinetic and kinematic variables between three different BMI categories when performing a specific sit-to-stand test. Thirty-six adult women (BMI = 17–45 kg/m2) performed the sit-to stand test five times consecutively and as quickly as possible. Analyses of variance were used to determine differences between three BMI groups (normal or overweight: BMI < 30 kg/m2; obese: 30 ≤ BMI < 35; severely obese: BMI ≥ 35). Peak and mean vertical sacrum velocity indicated a decrease in severely obese subjects. Obese and severely obese individuals did not show higher fatigue over the five consecutive movements. Peak force and rate of force development decreased in normal or overweight subjects. The ability to successfully complete the test decreased with a higher BMI, probably due to a reduced ability to rapidly generate a high force.

Severe obesity is associated with an increased risk of admission to intensive care units and need for invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19. The association of obesity and COVID-19 prognosis may be related to many different factors, such as chronic systemic inflammation, the predisposition to severe respiratory conditions and viral infections. The ketogenic diet is an approach that can be extremely effective in reducing body weight and visceral fat in the short term, preserving the lean mass and reducing systemic inflammation. Therefore, it is a precious preventive measure for severely obese people and may be considered as an adjuvant therapy for patients with respiratory compromise.

Objective: In different parts of the world, Indonesia included, overweight and obese people are seen to have worse performance compared to their healthy counterparts. Although there were research that had been done to observe the relationship between overweight, obesity, and academic performance, the results obtained were still divided into significantly and non-significantly related.Methods: A cross-sectional study was done to 373 students from two different schools in South Jakarta on December 2017–January 2018. Data was obtained by measuring height and weight of the participant to get his/her nutritional status and the average of participant’s odd semester Continual Assessment and Semestral Assessment of Academic Year 2017/2018 to see if the result was higher or equal to the passing grade.Results: Data analysis with chi square test shows that there was no significant relationship between overweight, obesity, and academic performance (p = 0.452 for Indonesian Language and p = 0.476 for Mathematics) although overweight and obese students tend to have better performance in some exam.Conclusion: The events that lead to overweight, obesity, and one’s academic performance are all multifactorial that the relationship between the two is difficult to be determined.

Recent evidence suggests that obese people are hypohydrated and that water consumption may be a useful indicator for the prevention and treatment of obesity. Nevertheless, there is no agreement regarding the best hydration status indicators and there are few data about the relationship between hydration and body weight. In the present study, we aim to analyze the correlation among hydration status with obesity measured by three different methods (plasma osmolarity, urinary specific gravity (USG) and urinary osmolarity) in a hospital-based outpatient population. We have carried out a cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between obesity and hydration status in 260 patients, average 56.5±15.7 years. Hydration status was estimated by means of plasma osmolarity, urine osmolarity and USG. We did show significant trend of higher urine osmolarity (P=0.03), USG (P=0.000) and plasma osmolarity (P=0.000) with an increase of weight status categories, more accurate in the case of plasma osmolarity. In a multivariate analysis, after controlled by confounders, we found that obesity was associated with plasma osmolarity (OR 1.09; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.17, P=0.009), urine osmolarity (OR 1.00; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.01, P=0.05) and USG (OR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.04, P=0.05). Our results have shown a more accurate relationship between plasma osmolarity with all body mass index categories. This finding may have clinical implications that must be confirmed in further studies.

A relação entre a ingestão de gorduras e a saúde tem sido debatida exaustivamente na área médica. A necessidade de redução da quantidade de gordura na alimentação motivou este estudo, que visou o desenvolvimento de formulação para musse de maracujá, com menor teor de gordura e de valor calórico, utilizando substitutos de gordura. No musse de maracujá padrão empregouse creme de leite integral, contendo em média 24,95 % de lipídios e nos musses formulados com substitutos da gordura foram utilizados a polidextrose (Litesse-PFIZER), proteína derivada do leite (Dairy-Lo-PFIZER) e proteína microparticulada (Simplesse Dry 100- NUTRASWEET). Empregou-se a proteína microparticulada e a polidextrose isoladamente e as seguintes combinações: proteína microparticulada/ polidextrose; proteína derivada do leite/polidextrose e proteína derivada do leite/polidextrose/proteína microparticulada. Os musses foram analisados físicoquimicamente de acordo com as normas analíticas do Instituto Adolfo Lutz. Entre os musses formulados com substitutos de gordura constatouse redução de 40,5% no valor energético e 93,6% de gordura em comparação ao mousse de maracujá padrão. Tais produtos podem ser classificados como “light”, tanto em relação ao valor energético como ao teor de gordura, sendo possível sua indicação como alimento adequado para pessoas preocupadas com a saúde e/ou obesas. Abstract The relationship between the ingestion of fats and the health has been extensively debated in the medical area. The reduction need of fat amount in feeding motivated this study, that sought the formulation development for passion fruit mousse with smaller fat text and of caloric value using fat substitutes. In the standard passion fruit mousse it was used integral milk cream, containing 24,95% of lipids on average and in the mousses formulated with fat substitutes the polidextrose was used (LitessePFIZER), milk derived (Dairy-Lo-PFIZER) and protein microparticulated (Simplesse Dry 100- ­NUTRASWEET). It was used the microparticulated protein and the polidextrose separately and in the following combinations: microparticulated protein/polidextrose; milk derived protein/polidextrose and milk derived protein/polidextrose/microparticulated protein. The mousses were analyzed physicalchemically in agreement with the Analytic Norms of the Instituto Adolfo Lutz. Among the mousses formulated with fat substitutes it was verified a reduction of 40,5% in the energy value and 93,6% of fat in comparison to the standard mousse. Such products can be classified as "light", as well to the energy value as to the fat text, being its indication possible as food adapted for obese people and peolpe worried with health.

The literature has found that eating disorders (ED) patients usually have a depression and anxiety diagnosis. However, not many investigations have studied the relationship between ED and well-being. One of the main problems of patients with ED is their body image. These individuals usually see themselves too big but there are not many investigations that focus on how these patients see people with real weight problems. For this reason in this study it is analyzed how women in risk to develop ED see obese people. 456 female students were selected. It was found that women with high scores in the different subscales of the Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26; dieting, bulimia and oral control) had lower well-being (both subjective and psychological) and worse attitudes toward obese people (measured with Antifat Attitudes Test, AFA, Beliefs About Obese People Scale, BAOP, and Attitudes Toward Obese People Scale, ATOP) compared with women with low scores in the EAT-26.

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased threefold among Swedish men during recent decades. Knowledge from Sweden on how obese men manage in working life and become disability pensioners is sparse. The aim of this nationwide and population-based cohort study was to investigate to what extent body mass index (BMI) in young adulthood predicts later disability pension. Method: All Swedish men born 1952—59, who had their weight and height measured at age 18 years in the compulsory military conscription examinations, were followed up longitudinally from 1990 to 2001 with regard to receiving disability pension. Data on own socioeconomic position (1985), education and marital status (1990), parental socioeconomic position (1960), and education (1970) were obtained from censuses. For 366,929 men (81% of the eligible men) the hazard ratio for receiving disability pension was calculated with Cox regression controlling for own education, parental education, childhood and adult socioeconomic position, marital status, morbidity, and type of municipality. Results: Obesity in young adulthood increased the risk for disability pension later in life (1.35, 95% CI 1.19, 1.52) compared with men of normal weight. The relationship between BMI and disability pension was J-shaped with higher risks for underweight (1.14, 95% CI 1.09, 1.20) and obese men. Conclusions: Obese men in Sweden are at higher risk of receiving disability pension. The relationship between BMI and disability pension is J-shaped. An important future task is to estimate the societal costs due to disability pension of obese people.

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
