El objetivo de este estudio fue proporcionar valores percentiles de la batería COFISA según el género y, su relación con el estado de peso. Es un estudio descriptivo con 1037 adolescentes (508 varones y 529 mujeres; 15,52 ± 1,11 años). La prueba MANOVA reflejó diferencias a favor de los varones a excepción de la flexibilidad y el estado de peso en normopeso, donde las mujeres hallaron un mejor rendimiento físico. Con el avance de la edad se observa un incremento progresivo del nivel de condición física global. En la relación entre el estado de peso, coordinación y condición física según el sexo, los varones en normopeso mostraron mayores promedios que sus pares en sobrepeso y obesidad. Cabe destacar que el grupo en obesidad mostró valores más elevados en coordinación. Por su parte, las mujeres en normopeso obtuvieron registros superiores en fuerza manual y coordinación respecto al grupo en sobrepeso y obesidad, siendo el grupo en sobrepeso quien mostró registros superiores en abdominales, resistencia cardiovascular, flexibilidad, condición física global y coordinación respecto al grupo con normopeso; y en flexibilidad y coordinación en relación al grupo con obesidad, siendo el grupo con obesidad quien mostró valores más elevados en fuerza abdominal. En conclusión, este estudio proporciona percentiles actualizados que permiten evaluar la condición física relacionada con salud en adolescentes con el fin de identificar a aquellos en riesgo de enfermedades crónicas importantes, así como evaluar los efectos de intervenciones alternativas en este grupo etario.Abstract. The objective of this study was to provide gender-specific percentile values of the COFISA test, and their relation to weight status. This is a descriptive study with 1,037 adolescents (508 boys and 529 girls, 15.52 ± 1.11 years old). The MANOVA test showed differences in favor of boys, with the exception of flexibility and weight status in normal weight, where girls were found with a better physical performance. With increased age, a progressive rise in the level of overall fitness was observed. In the relationship between weight status, coordination, and physical fitness by gender, normal-weight boys showed higher averages than their overweight and obese peers. It should be noted that the obesity group showed higher values in coordination. Regarding girls, the normal-weight ones obtained higher scores in manual strength and coordination than the overweight and obese group, with the overweight group showing higher scores in abdominal strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, overall physical condition, and coordination compared to the group with normal weight; and in flexibility and coordination compared to the group with obesity. The obesity group showed higher scores in abdominal strength. In conclusion, this study provides updated percentiles that allow the evaluation of health-related physical fitness in adolescents so to identify those at risk of major chronic diseases, as well as to evaluate the effects of alternative interventions in this age group.

The Relationship

Excess weight has been associated with numerous psychosocial problems and is considered to be one of the most important health problems of today. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between weight status, which is evaluated by means of the body mass index (BMI), and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and life satisfaction (LS) variables in Spanish adolescents, as well as to examine whether gender influences this interrelationship. A total of 1197 subjects studying in their 1st and 4th years of high school (mean age: 14.4 years, SD: 1.69) participated in the study by completing the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire. Then, the participants were grouped into the following categories: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. The results show that boys have significantly higher HRQoL as well as higher levels of LS. On the other hand, only the obese group shows significantly lower scores in both HRQoL and LS than those in the normal-weight group. The interaction of weight category and gender does not have a significant impact on the variables that have been analyzed (HRQoL or LS).

Matched Study

The current study examined the differences in health-related physical fitness (HRPF), physical activity (PA), and sedentary behavior (SB) between adolescents with and without ongoing respiratory diseases (RD). This study’s participants were from 12 to 15 years old (7th–10th grade) in South Korea. Adolescents with RD were selected through RD-related questions (i.e., asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis) (n = 139); in contrast, adolescents without RD, randomly selected from the general group, responded to any health problem-related questions as “No” (n = 139). HRPF was measured based on the FITNESSGRAM and EURO FIT test batteries and the measurements of HRPF included cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. All statistical analyses were conducted by SPSS 25.0, and the independent t-test was used to compare the HRPF and PA between the two groups. Moreover, the measured HRPF was compared with a series of analyses of three-way ANOVAs (age × gender × group). Adolescents with RD had a positive association with less participation in PA (p < 0.05; RD: 3081.81 ± 4793.37; general: 2073.64 ± 3123.47) and with more time spent on SB (above 12 h per week: RD group (38.85%) and general group (33.09%)). Furthermore, adolescents in the RD group showed significant effects on all components of HRPF (p < 0.05). Our study confirmed that HRPF is an essential predictor of adolescents’ health outcomes, especially for those with RD. We suggest that increased HRPF can be an effective treatment for respiratory diseases in adolescents, and health practitioners should pay more attention to helping adolescents with RD to gain or maintain high HRPF.

The obesity pandemic is associated with increased consumption of restaurant food. Labeling of menus is an intervention used to provide consumers with kilocalorie (calorie) information in hopes of them making healthier food choices. This study evaluated the relationship between young adults’ calorie choices on restaurant menus and menu design, dietary behaviors, and demographic characteristics. A 3 (fast-casual restaurants) × 4 (menu-designs based on menu engineering theories) between-subjects (n = 480, 18–24-year olds) experimental design was used. The relationship between the participants’ calorie choices (high versus low) and menu design, stage of change, gender, race, educational level and weight status was evaluated using logistic regression. All independent variables had at least one category that had greater odds (CI 95% ± 5%) of subjects choosing a lower calorie entree, except education level and race/ethnic group. Normal weight and overweight subjects had greater odds of choosing lower calorie entrees than those that were obese. In addition, subjects that had started to control their calorie intake for less than six months or had sustained this change for at least six months, had greater odds of choosing lower calorie entrees compared to others. Including a green symbol and calories on fast casual restaurant menus may influence some young adults to choose lower calorie entrees.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peak cadence indicators and body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%)-defined weight status in children. The sample comprised 485 Brazilian children. Minute-by-minute step data from accelerometry were rank ordered for each day to identify the peak 1-minute, 30-minute and 60-minute cadence values. Data were described by BMI–defined and bioelectrical impedance-determined BF% weight status. BMI-defined normal weight children had higher peak 1-minute (115.5 versus 110.6 and 106.6 steps/min), 30-minute (81.0 versus 77.5 and 74.0 steps/min) and 60-minute cadence (67.1 versus 63.4 and 60.7 steps/min) than overweight and obese children (p<.0001), respectively. Defined using %BF, normal weight children had higher peak 1-minute (114.5 versus 106.1 steps/min), 30-minute (80.4 versus 73.1 steps/min) and 60-minute cadence (66.5 versus 59.9 steps/min) than obese children (p<.0001). Similar relationships were observed in boys; however, only peak 1- minute cadence differed significantly across BMI and %BF-defined weight status categories in girls. Peak cadence indicators were negatively associated with BMI and BF% in these schoolchildren and significantly higher among normal weight compared to overweight or obese children.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the change in daily energy intake associated with pairwise compositional change in carbohydrate, fat and protein intake among US adults stratified by sex, race/ethnicity and weight status.DesignLinear mixture model was performed to estimate the relationship between daily energy intake and macronutrient composition, adjusted for age and alcohol consumption, and accounting for survey design.SettingStudy sample from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2010 waves.SubjectsA total of 27 589 US adults aged 20 years and older were included in the study. Dietary macronutrient intake was calculated from 24 h dietary recall and BMI from objectively measured weight/height.ResultsAcross all population subgroups, substituting protein or carbohydrate for fat and substituting protein for carbohydrate were associated with decreased daily energy intake, with the largest effect resulting from substituting protein for fat. A 1 % increase in the percentage of energy from protein substituted for a 1 % decrease in the percentage of energy from fat was associated with a decrease in daily energy intake of 268·2 (95 % CI 169·0, 367·4) kJ, 289·5 (95 % CI 215·9, 363·2) kJ and 293·7 (95 % CI 210·0, 377·4) kJ among normal-weight (18·5≤BMI, kg/m2<25·0), overweight (25·0≤BMI, kg/m2<30·0) and obese (BMI≥30·0 kg/m2) men, and 177·4 (95 % CI 130·5, 224·3) kJ, 188·7 (95 % CI 139·3, 238·1) kJ and 204·2 (95 % CI 158·2, 250·2) kJ among normal-weight, overweight and obese women, respectively. The relationship between macronutrient composition and daily energy intake varied substantially across sex, race/ethnicity and weight status.ConclusionsPolicies promoting higher daily protein intake at the expense of lower fat intake could be effective in reducing total energy intake among US adults.

Background. The relationship between obesity and the outcomes of critically ill diabetic patients is not completely clear. We aimed to assess the effects of obesity and overweight on the outcomes among diabetic patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods. Critically ill diabetic patients in the ICU were classified into three groups according to their body mass index. The primary outcomes were 30-day and 90-day mortality. ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS) and incidence and duration of mechanical ventilation were also assessed. Cox regression models were developed to evaluate the relationship between obesity and overweight and mortality. Results. A total of 6108 eligible patients were included. The 30-day and 90-day mortality in the normal weight group were approximately 1.8 times and 1.5 times higher than in the obesity group and overweight group, respectively ( P < 0.001 , respectively). Meanwhile, the ICU (median (IQ): 2.9 (1.7, 5.3) vs. 2.7 (1.6, 4.8) vs. 2.8 (1.8, 5.0)) and hospital (median (IQ): 8.3 (5.4, 14.0) vs. 7.9 (5.1, 13.0) vs. 8.3 (5.3, 13.6)) LOS in the obesity group and overweight group were not longer than in the normal weight group. Compared with normal weight patients, obese patients had significantly higher incidence of mechanical ventilation (58.8% vs. 64.7%, P < 0.001 ) but no longer ventilation duration (median (IQ): 19.3 (7.0, 73.1) vs. 19.0 (6.0, 93.7), P = 1 ). Multivariate Cox regression showed that obese and overweight patients had lower 30-day (HR (95% CI): 0.62 (0.51, 0.75); 0.76 (0.62, 0.92), respectively) and 90-day (HR (95% CI): 0.60 (0.51, 0.70); 0.79 (0.67, 0.93), respectively) mortality risks than normal weight patients. Conclusions. Obesity and overweight were independently associated with greater survival in critically ill diabetic patients, without increasing the ICU and hospital LOS. Large multicenter prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings and the underlying mechanisms warrant further investigation.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os níveis de aptidão física relacionadas a saúde de escolares 5º ao 9º ano de duas escolas do município de Mafra. Esse manuscrito apresenta dados preliminares do projeto intitulado “Análise de Saúde do Escolar de Mafra” (ASESC). Para tanto, duas escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino foram contempladas em uma população de 900 indivíduos obtendo uma amostra final de 255 escolares. Foram medidos e avaliados dados antropométricos de massa corporal, estatura, perímetro de cintura, dobras cutâneas de tríceps e panturrilha obtendo o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e o percentual de gordura.  Para os testes de aptidão física (flexibilidade, capacidade cardiorrespiratória e força) foram utilizados os propostos da Bateria de Testes do Projeto Esporte Brasil (teste de corrida e caminha dos 6 minutos; teste de sentar e alcançar; número de abdominais em 1 minuto). A amostra obteve uma média de idade de 12,6 (DP=1,24) anos sendo 48,6% (n=124) meninos e 51,4% (n=131) meninas. Dados de IMC revelaram que 27,5% estavam acima do peso. No perímetro de cintura 16,5% estavam em situação de risco e 45,4% encontravam-se com percentual de gordura acima do recomendado. O teste de flexibilidade revelou que 20,4% estavam em situação de risco e no teste de resistência de força 32,9%. No teste de aptidão cardiorrespiratória 35% foram avaliados abaixo do recomendado. Os dados revelam distúrbios da composição corporal e uma prevalência significativa de escolares com aptidão física relacionada à saúde abaixo do recomendado refletindo a necessidade de intervenções em saúde.ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the levels of health related physical fitness in students from 5th to 9th grade from two public schools in the city of Mafra. This manuscript introduces preliminary information about the project titled "Health Analysis of the Schools of Mafra" (ASESC). Therefore, two public schools from the municipal school system of Mafra have been included with a total of 900 subjects, obtaining a final sample of 255 students. Anthropometric data of body mass, height, waist circumference, triceps and calf skinfolds were measured and evaluated, obtaining body mass index (BMI) and percentage of fat. For the physical fitness tests (Flexibility, Cardiovascular Endurance and Strength), the battery test suggested by the Brazilian Sport Project (application of 6-minute-run / walk; sit-and-reach test) has been used. The sample has a mean age of 12.6 years old (DP01,24), being 48.6% (n = 124) boys and 51.4% (n = 131) girls. Classification based on BMI disclosed 27.5% were overweight. For the waist circumference, 16.5% were in the risk zone and 45.4% were above the appropriate percentage of fat. The Flexibility test disclosed that 20.4% were in a high-risk situation and in the test of strength endurance 32.9%. In the cardiovascular endurance tests, 35% were rated below the suitable level. The data on the achievements reveal disorders of body composition and a significant prevalence of students with health-related physical fitness below the recommended level, which reflects the need for health interventions.

Abstract Background: Studies indicate that cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and body composition are associated with mental health. However, research is scarce concerning this relationship in young adolescents in general and non-existent in Norwegian populations specifically. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between different health-related aspects of physical fitness and self-reported mental health in Norwegian adolescents. Methods: Participants from four regions of Norway (n = 1486; mean age = 13.9; girls = 50.6%) completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and were measured for cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and body composition. Linear mixed effects models were conducted to assess the associations between the health-related aspects of physical fitness and the total difficulties score of the questionnaire. Results: Body composition was not associated with total difficulties score. Muscular strength independently was associated with total difficulties score, but when all independent variables were entered in the fully adjusted model, only cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with total difficulties score. School clusters were included as random effects and all models were controlled for sex, socioeconomic status and birthplace (domestic or foreign). Conclusions: A small but significant negative association between cardiorespiratory fitness and total difficulties score indicated that higher cardiorespiratory fitness predicted better mental health in Norwegian adolescents. The results suggest that muscular strength is not associated with mental health in adolescents, when controlling for cardiorespiratory fitness. Future research on how exercise affects mental health should investigate whether there is a greater effect for participants who improve their cardiorespiratory fitness.
