The Relationship

Understanding food choice is critical to be able to address the rise in obesity rates around the globe. In this paper, we examine the relationship between measured (BMI, using self-reported height and weight) and perceived weight status with the number of calories ordered in a controlled online food choice exercise. A total of 1044 participants completed an online food choice exercise in which they selected ingredients for a sandwich from five categories: meat/protein, cheese, spread/dressing, bread, and vegetables. We examine the number of calories ordered by participants and use linear regression to study the relationship of BMI category relative to self-reported perceived weight status with calories ordered. As a comparison to previous literature, we also examine the relationship between relative weight status and self-reported dieting behavior using logistic regression. We find that participants perceiving themselves to have a higher BMI than their BMI calculated using height and weight ordered significantly fewer calories and were more likely to report dieting than participants who perceived themselves to have a lower BMI than their calculated BMI. The relationship between perceived weight status and measured weight status explains behavior in a food choice task. Understanding how people perceive their weight may help design effective health messages.

Background: The increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been found to be an important contributor of calories in the diet. Whether there is an association between the increased consumption of SSBs and the high rates of overweight and obesity is still questionable. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship of weight status and beverages consumed of adults in a residential compound in Abu Dhabi.Methods: Forty nine out of 65 residents form Al Reef Villas in Abu Dhabi agreed to participate in the study. Initial assessments including beverages frequency questionnaire and anthropometry measurements were completed for all participants. Participants who were identified as high beverages consumers were invited to a one-month intervention aiming to limit their beverages consumption. A final assessment was completed for all high consumers of beverages at the end of the one-month intervention.Results: 55% of the subjects were overweight or obese, and 51% had abdominal obesity. 73% consumed 100% fruit juices with no added sugar, 65% consumed soft drinks, and 60 % consumed plain milk and milk products. The majority (69%) consumed tea beverages rather than coffee beverages. There was no association between weight & beverages consumption. The mean energy percentage from beverages was 14.2 (± 11.1) among all participants. 53% were considered high consumers of beverages and 47% (n=23) were considered low consumers of beverages. The one-month intervention showed a significant decrease in % of calories from beverages and weight in the overweight & obese intervention group (p<0.001 and p<0.05) respectively.Conclusion: This study highlighted major health problems in Abu Dhabi including high rates of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity. The one-month intervention was effective in reducing the energy percentage from beverages and weight of the overweight and obese participants, but no association was found in this sample between beverages consumption and overweight and obesity.

AbstractObjectiveDietary Ca is now being recognized to play an important role not only in skeletal integrity, but also in the regulation of energy and metabolism. The aim of the present study was to estimate the relationship of dairy Ca intake with BMI and blood pressure (BP) in a sample derived from the Polish population.DesignCa intake was calculated from an interviewer-administered semi-quantitative FFQ. BMI was calculated from measured weight and height, and BP was measured by a physician.SettingCross-sectional epidemiological study on osteoporosis risk factors in Poland.SubjectsRandomly selected healthy adult persons (n 1259; 750 women and 509 men).ResultsDairy Ca intake was significantly lower in individuals with overweight/obesity (BMI≥25·00 kg/m2) and/or with elevated BP (systolic/diastolic ≥140/≥90 mmHg) than in those with normal body mass and BP, respectively. Ca intake was negatively correlated with BMI (r=−0·12, P<0·001), systolic BP (r=−0·11, P<0·001) and diastolic BP (r=−0·08, P<0·01). Daily dairy Ca intake below 1000 mg was a predictor for BMI≥25·0 kg/m2 (OR=1·44, P<0·005). This relationship was stronger in women, particularly premenopausal women.ConclusionsThe obtained results indicate the role of low dairy Ca intake in the development of obesity and hypertension, notably in premenopausal women.

Objective. To examine the relationship of exercise with overweight and obesity among an ethnically diverse sample of U.S. children. Method. Data from the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children’s Health were analyzed to examine the relationship of daily exercise with children’s weight status. Propensity score covariate adjustment and multivariate logistic regression with survey weights were used to control for child, home, and community characteristics. Results. Approximately 22% of all children ages 10 to 17 years engaged in daily exercise for at least 20 minutes. In the adjusted model for the entire sample, daily exercise was associated with children having a lower likelihood of being overweight or obese (odds ratio = 0.79; 95% confidence interval = 0.68-0.91). In a stratified analysis of the major racial and ethnic groups, however, while White children who exercised daily were found to have a lower odds of being overweight or obese (odds ratio = 0.70; 95% confidence interval = 0.60-0.82), this relationship was not found for most minority children. Conclusions. Racial and ethnic minority children were not found to have the same weight status relationship with exercising daily. These findings suggest that some population-average exercise recommendations may not be as applicable to minority children.

Julung-julung (Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus) merupakan salah satu spesies ikan asli Indonesia. Aek Mailil merupakan salah satu habitat ikan julung-julug (H. pogonognathus) yang berada di Kabupaten Labuhanbatu. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hubungan panjang-berat dan faktor kondisi ikan julung-julung (H. pogonognathus) yang hidup di Aek Mailil. Pengambilan data dilakukan mulai November 2020 hingga Januari 2021 dengan alat tangkap durung. Titik sampling ditetapkan atas informasi dari masyarakat Desa Bandar Kumbul. Hubungan panjang-berat dihitung dengan Linear Allometrik Model (LAM), sedangkan faktor kondisi dihitung dengan rumus Fulton (K) dan berat relatif (Wr). Pola pertumbuhan ikan julung-julung (H. pogonognathus) mendapatkan hasil alometrik negatif dengan nilai b 2,9371 (b<3). Nilai koefisien Fulton (K) 2,57 dan koefisien berat relatif (Wr) 103,07. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pola pertumbuhan ikan julung-julung (H. pogonognathus) allometrik negatif dengan panjang tubuh lebih cepat dibandingkan berat tumbuh. Nilai (K) menunjukkan bahwa Aek Mailil masih dalam keadaan seimbang dan baik untuk mendukung kehidupan ikan julung-julung (H. pogonognathus). Kata kunci: faktor kondisi; Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus; pola pertumbuhan ABSTRACTLong-Weight relationship and condition factors of Julung-Julung (Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus) in Aek Mailil, Labuhanbatu Regency, North Sumatera, Indonesia. Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus is one of Indonesia's native fish species. Aek Mailil is one of the habitats for julung-julung (H. pogonognathus) in Labuhanbatu Regency. This study aimed to determine the relationship between length-weight and condition factors of julung-julung (H. pogonognathus) living in Aek Mailil. Sampling was carried out from November 2020 to January 2021 using durung fishing gear. The sampling points were determined based on information from the local community of Bandar Kumbul Village. The relationship of length-weight is calculated using the Linear Allometric Model (LAM), while the condition factor is calculated using the Fulton formula (K) and relative weight (Wr). The growth pattern of julung-julung (H. pogonognathus) got a negative allometric result with a b value of 2.9371 (b <3). The value of the Fulton coefficient (K) 2.57 and the relative weight coefficient (Wr) 103.07. This means that Aek Mailil's waters are in a balanced state and can support the (H. pogonognathus) live.Keywords: condition factor; Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus; growth pattern
