Psoriasis is defined as an immune-mediated disease, which has a chronic and relapsing nature, multifactorial etiology, strong participation of genetic, immunological and environmental factors. Studies show the association of psoriasis with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. An adequate diet combined with the practice of physical activity is capable of positively influencing the prognosis of the disease. The present study aimed to assess the nutritional status and physical activity practice of patients diagnosed with psoriasis seen at the Reference, Support and Treatment Center for Psoriasis Patients of the University Hospital Lauro Wanderley (HULW), in João Pessoa, Paraiba state from October to December 2018. Patients were evaluated by means of a semi-structured questionnaire to collect information such as identification data, skin color, family history of the disease, previous pathological history, life habits and feeding. High BMI prevailed in 80% of the patients, being 35% overweight and 45% obese. The result showed that 45% of the patients had a diagnosis of type 2 DM and 60% of SAH. When asked about the diagnosis of dyslipidemia, 25% of the patients reported having high cholesterol and/or triglyceride and 10% of the patients did not know how to report. With regard to the practice of physical activity, 65% of patients reported performing physical activities, of which 84.6% performed it at a frequency of 1 to 3 times a week and 15.4%, from 4 to 7 times. This preliminary study allowed us to identify the nutritional profile and the practice of physical activity of individuals with psoriasis treated at a Reference Center. The results showed the coexistence of psoriasis and comorbidities related to the metabolic syndrome in the majority of patients evaluated, with a predominance of obesity, systemic arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

(1) Background: Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This risk can be reduced with lifestyle interventions, including physical activity. However, studies have shown that many women with prior GDM are not physically active. The aim of this study was to investigate the motivation for physical activity among women with prior GDM. (2) Methods: A qualitative study was carried out based on a phenomenological approach using semi-structured individual interviews with nine Danish women between 29 and 36 years of age with a minimum of one earlier GDM-affected pregnancy. (3) Results: Five themes were identified; perception of physical activity, risk perception, emotional distress, competing priorities and social support. The perception of physical activity varied among the women. The GDM diagnosis or the awareness of elevated risk for T2DM did not seem to be a decisive factor for the women’s motivation to be active. Competing priorities, including being in control of everyday life choices and support from social relations, were found to be important motivational factors. (4) Conclusion: Future interventions for women with prior GDM to increase motivation for physical activity should be compatible with and take into account the women’s perceptions, earlier lived experiences, possible competing priorities and support systems.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is escalating rapidly in Asian countries, with the rapid increase likely attributable to a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. Recent research suggests that common genetic risk variants contribute minimally to the rapidly rising prevalence. Rather, recent changes in dietary patterns and physical activity may be more important. This nested case-control study assessed the association and predictive utility of type 2 diabetes lifestyle risk factors in participants from Malaysia, an understudied Asian population with comparatively high disease prevalence. The study sample comprised 4077 participants from The Malaysian Cohort project and included sub-samples from the three major ancestral groups: Malay (n = 1323), Chinese (n = 1344) and Indian (n = 1410). Association of lifestyle factors with type 2 diabetes was assessed within and across ancestral groups using logistic regression. Predictive utility was quantified and compared between groups using the Area Under the Receiver-Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC). In predictive models including age, gender, waist-to-hip ratio, physical activity, location, family history of diabetes and average sleep duration, the AUC ranged from 0.76 to 0.85 across groups and was significantly higher in Chinese than Malays or Indians, likely reflecting anthropometric differences. This study suggests that obesity, advancing age, a family history of diabetes and living in a rural area are important drivers of the escalating prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Malaysia.

Background. Nowadays the importance of lifestyles in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome has been largely accertained. Objective. The purpose of our work is to implement programs that promote a nutritional culture in adolescents and young adults of the La Sabana University. Methods. The methodology entailed, after the corresponding informed consent, taking measures of the triceps and supraescapular skinfolds, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), lean mass, and fat mass. Fasting blood samples were also taken to quantify cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL). Results. The results obtained show that of the 165 students, 10.3% were underweight, 13.93% were overweight and 0.6% were obese. With regards to gender, 4.8% of the men and 9% of the women were overweight, 3% of the men and 7.2% of the women were underweight, and 0.6% of the women were obese. The blood chemistry showed that 30% had hypercholesterolemia, 18% hypertriglyceridemia, 17% reported low HDL levels and 67% reported high LDL levels. Of all the cases studied, 40% are at risk of a metabolic syndrome. 60% claimed not to practice any physical activity - especially women who reported 44.70%. Conclusions. These findings have allowed us at the institution to implement a culture of healthy habits. The have also allowed us to identify students with risk factors for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. This is why the cardiometabolic monitoring and control based on healthy eating and physical activity are important.

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the association between sports participation and sedentary behavior during school recess among Brazilian adolescents. This study included 2,243 adolescents aged 13-18 years (16.2 ± 1.1), 62.2% females and 37.8% males, enrolled in public high schools in Aracaju, Northeastern Brazil. Sedentary behavior during school recess and sport participation was self-reported. Several factors were examined, including sex, age, skin color, socioeconomic status, maternal education and physical activity level. Sixty percent of adolescents had sedentary behavior during school recess and 57.7% of adolescents reported that they did not participate in any team sport. Additionally, adolescents who did not practice any team sport were 40% more likely (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.8) to be sedentary during school recess compared to those who participated in two or more team sports. It is recommended that schools encourage students to engage in sports activities and promote more physical activity during school recess to reduce the sedentary behavior and increase physical activity levels in youth.

Diabetes Risk Score

Background: Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM] is becoming alarmingly high among younger age groups impacting on their physical, mental, social and academic wellbeing and therefore warrants early detection and prevention. The Indian diabetes risk score [IDRS] is an efficient screening tool to detect the high risk individuals at an early stage. Objective of this study is to assess the level of risk of developing T2DM among medical students using the IDRS.Methods: This cross sectional study was done using the MDRF-IDR Score to identify the ‘at risk’ medical students. Simple random sampling was used and data collected from among the 251 willing students. Their risk score was calculated using a structured questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS Ver.15 software.Results: This study shows that about 57.4% are moderately at risk and 2% are at high risk for developing diabetes mellitus. About 86.1% medical students belonged to nuclear family, 42.6% had family history of diabetes mellitus, 76.5% carried out moderate physical activity and 50.2% were overweight / obese. Family history of diabetes, lack of physical activity and overweight / obesity were found to be potential risk factors for developing diabetes mellitus (p<0.0001).Conclusions: This study reveals that in the existing urban lifestyle, adolescents and youths are highly vulnerable to diabetes mellitus. Primordial and primary prevention are the most effective preventive measure and therefore, appropriate and stringent lifestyle modifications need to be implemented in order to minimize the risk of developing the disease later in life.

Since patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often present with one or more chronic complications, at the time of diagnosis, early detection and prevention is essential to reduce T2DM-associated mortality and morbidity, espescially among high risk population such as the offspring of T2DM. This study aimed to investigate several factors associated with prediabetes status among the offsprings of T2DM patients.Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 54 offsprings of T2DM patients. Subjects were recruited consecutively. We collected demographic data, anthropometric measurement, blood pressure, and HbA1c level. Physical activity were assessed by using Indonesian version of global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ). Prediabetes status was investigated by standardized national glycohemoglobin standardization program (NGSP) HbA1c. Bivariate statistical and multivariate analysis was performed by using IBM SPSS 23.Results: The majority of subjects were female (79.6%) and the mean age was 38.8 years old. The proportion of prediabetes was 31.5%. Multivariate analysis showed significant association among paternal history of T2DM (adjusted OR 7.520; 95%CI=1.071-52.784), waist circumference at risk (adjusted OR 5.482; 95%CI=1.019-29.504), and prediabetes status.Conclusion: Paternal history of T2DM and waist circumference were associated with prediabetes status among the offspring of T2DM patients.
