The study analyzed data from a representative sample of 1,465 adolescents and young men involved in a one-stage epidemiological study. The prevalence of arterial hypotonia (AG) was 18.6% (10.8% among adolescents and 45.2% among boys; P <0.001). The identified results should be taken into account in the development and implementation of prevention programs for adolescents and adolescents living in the regions of Uzbekistan.

The study analyzed data from a representative sample of adolescents and young men, 1465 people involved in a one-stage epidemiological survey. The prevalence of arterial hypotension (AH) was 18.6% (among adolescents - 10.8% and among youth - 45.2%; P<0.001). The revealed results should be considered when developing and implementing preventive programs for adolescent and young populations living in the regions of Uzbekistan.

Youth Population

An epidemiological study was performed on a representative sample of the Norwegian youth population (12 to 18 years old, N = 3,237; response rate 45.2%). The percentage who were frequent players (weekly) of different computer games was 63.3%, and the percentage of infrequent users was 36.7%. A mean of 2.7% (4.2% of the boys, 1.1% of the girls) could be described as exhibiting “pathological playing” according to the criteria in the 1998 Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction of Young, and an additional 9.82% (14.5% of the boys, 5.0% of the girls) were considered to be engaging in “at-risk playing.” Of the weekly gamblers, 4.2% fulfilled 5 criteria for pathological playing, and an additional 15.5% 3 to 4 criteria, i.e., at-risk playing. This indicated that frequent gaming on computer games without money rewards may be related to problematic playing even though no monetary reward is involved.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between the angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE) I/D polymorphism and energy and macronutrient intakes on adiposity-related phenotypes among toddlers and preschoolers. A representative sample of 2374 Greek children aged 1 to 5 years old was examined (Growth, Exercise and Nutrition Epidemiological Study in preSchoolers (GENESIS)). Dietary and anthropometric (i.e. BMI, waist circumference (WC)) assessments were carried out using standard procedures. DNA samples were obtained from 2102 children and were genotyped for the ACE I/D polymorphism. Among the entire population, 17 % were ‘at risk of overweight’ and a similar percentage were ‘overweight’. The frequencies of the II, ID and DD genotypes were 16, 46 and 38 %, respectively. Significant interactions were found between the ACE I/D polymorphism and total energy intake on WC (P = 0·004 for interaction) and the ACE I/D polymorphism and protein intake on BMI and being overweight (P < 0·05 for interaction). Furthermore, it was found that the ACE I/D polymorphism may modify the effect of fat intake on WC and BMI, but this interaction disappeared after adjustment for additional potential confounders. Stratified analyses revealed that total energy is correlated with WC and protein intake is associated with BMI and being overweight only among carriers of the D-allele (i.e. DD or ID genotypes). These results suggest that the ACE I/D polymorphism may act as a modifying factor in the response of adiposity-related phenotypes to diet.

BACKGROUND: Considering the negative influence of a visceral obesity on spermatogenesis, it is important to investigate its pathogenetic factors. AIMS: To reveal the pathogenetic factors of disorders in spermatogenesis and antioxidative activity of an ejaculate in young men with post pubertal visceral obesity and normal andrological anamnesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 47 men under 30 years with post pubertal and nutritional visceral obesity have been included into one-stage research. The length of circle of waist, lipid blood spectrum, blood levels of glucose and insulin, antioxidant activity and electronic-microscopic analysis of an ejaculate have been examined. Differences were considered statistically significant with p 0,05. RESULTS: The LDL and triglyceride levels in patients with disorders in spermatogenesis were significantly higher than considered in men with normozoospermia. Correlations between antioxidative activity of ejaculate and levels of LDL (n=47, r=-0,310; p=0,033), triglyceride (n=47, r=-0,366; p=0,011) and the number of normal spermatozoons in ejaculate (n=47, r=0,343;p=0,017) have been revealed. CONCLUSIONS: The dyslipidemia in young men with post pubertal visceral obesity and normal andrological anamnesis can be considered as pathogenetic factors of disorders in spermatogenesis. Nevertheless the dyslipidemia can influence spermatogenesis through oxidative stress.
