Review Study

Obesity is a health disorder characterized by an increase in body weight, measured by waist circumference. High waist circumference is linked to potential development of non-communicable diseases. A systematic review study was used to explore health risks of high waist circumference through Google Scholar, Science Direct, Pubmed, and Proquest. Findings show that high waist circumference increased the risks of developing hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, joint pain, low back pain, and hyperuricemia. It is recommended that government increase their role in raising public awareness to maintain healthy lifestyle.

<strong>How to establish a healthy lifestyle in an overweight, inactive woman with an intellectual disability</strong><br />Overweight and obesity are associated with increased health risks and shortened life span. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing, and a higher prevalence of obesity has been observed in persons with intellectual disability than in the general population. In this study, we want to establish a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet and increased physical activity in an obese, inactive women with intellectual disability. Using interventions based on applied behavioural analysis, the women have established new habits in terms of diet and increased physical activity. The number of hours with physical activity per week has doubled, and both weight and waist circumference decreased during the eight weeks of the study. She maintained her new healthy lifestyle, after the study. More research is needed in interventions that can help reduce obesity in persons with intellectual disability.

Diabetes Status

Aim. Assess prospective relationships between obesity and inflammation on the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods. A cohort of nondiabetic respondents from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study was followed from 2005-2006 (wave 7) to 2010-2011 (wave 8). Diabetes status was determined in wave 8 based on self-report, blood glucose level, and anti-hyperglycemic medication use in conjunction with a homeostatic model assessment-based classification for distinguishing diabetes subtype. We performed a series of multivariable logistic regression analyses to assess the relative influence of obesity (waist circumference) and individual inflammatory biomarkers (i.e., C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and sex-specific serum uric acid and gamma-glutamyltransferase) on the odds of developing incident T2DM between waves 7 and 8. Results. Among 2784 nondiabetic CARDIA respondents, 146 (5.2%) new cases of T2DM were identified between waves. Having a high waist circumference (AOR=6.15; 95%CI=4.14,9.14) and being Black (vs. White) (AOR=1.60; 95%CI=1.05,2.44) were associated with T2DM. Adjusting for inflammation biomarkers attenuated the effects of waist circumference and race with T2DM. Clinically elevated CRP (AOR=1.83; 95%CI=1.18,2.82) and uric acid (AOR=2.57; 95%CI=1.70,3.89) predicted T2DM among all respondents. However, stratification by race showed greater attenuation of the effects of waist circumference on T2DM in Whites than in Blacks when inflammation biomarkers were accounted for in the model. Conclusion. Targeted control of systemic inflammation may reduce the risk of developing T2DM, especially among Blacks, and could help address Black-White disparities in diabetes care and outcomes.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus belongs to a group of diseases labelled as lifestyle diseases and is on the rise in Asians especially Indians. Hence finding bio-markers is important to warn people and create awareness.  Aim of the present study is to estimate waist-hip ratio, waist circumference in type 2 diabetic patients with respect to gender.  Methods: A cross-sectional, community based study was conducted from February 2014 to February 2015 among adults in the age group of 30 year and above residing in area covered under UHTC of Bareilly City. A simple random sampling technique was adopted to achieve the desired sample size. 640 is the sample size came out to be by applying 3.8 4𝑃𝑄/d2 formula. Subject’s waist circumference, waist-hip ratio was measured in study samples. House to house survey was done for collecting data. Data tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis.  Results: Prevalence of DM and IFG was more in those who were having high waist circumference and the association was also found to be statistically significant. The association was also found statistically significant between male high waist hip ratio and Diabetes Mellitus but no association was seen between female’s high waist-hip ratio and Diabetes Mellitus.Conclusions: High waist circumference can be a screening procedure for DM individuals in both sexes, but the same scenario we haven’t seen in high waist hip ratio among females and prevalence of DM. Appropriate waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio values are complex because they are likely influenced by gender and other factors.

Health Applications

Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of concern among non-communicable diseases worldwide, with its prevalence increasing every day. Studies have shown that it is possible to prevent type 2 diabetes in high risk people if they adopt a healthy lifestyle, such as exercising regularly, eating nutritious food and maintaining an ideal weight. Mobile apps may aid these people in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Till date, no systematic review has evaluated the use of mobile health applications for the prevention of type 2 diabetes. In this systematic review protocol we will lay out the methods we will use to synthesise the evidence about mobile health applications for the prevention of type 2 diabetes, focusing particularly on their impact on different process and outcome measures, as well as on patient perspectives. Database searches will be done in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and PsychInfo. Screening of the articles will be conducted by two independent researchers. The Cochrane risk of bias tool will be used for quality assessment. A narrative synthesis of the included articles will be done and the results summarised. The findings of this review will provide evidence on the impact of mobile applications in preventing Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Efforts to improve a healthy lifestyle are very important, one of them is to stop smoking. The way to stop smoking can be through acupressure complementary therapy training and counseling on smoking health risks. The purpose of this activity is to increase public awareness and knowledge regarding the smoking health risks and acupressure therapy in order to reduce the desire to smoke for residents in the Bandung Village, Mertoyudan District, Magelang Regency. This activity involves the participation of the local community so that they can realize the importance of reducing smoking habits and the impact of smoking. The method used was counseling on the smoking health risks and acupressure training. The results of the activity showed that the residents were enthusiastic in participating in the activity and were able to apply acupressure therapy in their daily lives to stop smoking.

Gender is a major determinant of the outcomes of many health interventions. This study documents the order of significant improvements in metabolic parameters of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) having metabolic syndrome within 12 weeks of physical exercise programmes. Twenty-nine patients, mean age 49.6 ± 3.7 years, presenting with high fasting plasma glucose, high triglycerides, hypertension, and high waist circumference undertook a thrice weekly aerobic and endurance exercise programme in addition to their drugs and diet. Variables were assessed at baseline and end of every two weeks for twelve weeks. Compared with baseline, significant improvement (P<0.05) in the metabolic parameters occurred in this order for the male participants: fasting glucose (2nd week), triglycerides and waist circumference (4th week), and systolic blood pressure (12th week). For the female participants, it was fasting glucose (4th week), triglycerides (6th week), and waist circumference (10th week). Regardless of the gender, fasting glucose was the first to improve significantly, followed by triglycerides. Hypertension did not improve significantly at all in the female participants as they may require more than twelve weeks of therapeutic exercise for any significant improvement in hypertension.
