BACKGROUND: Premenstrual syndrome refers distressing somatic and psychological symptoms, inthe absence of organic or underlying psychiatric diseases, which regularly occurs in the luteal phase ofmenstrual (ovarian) cycle and which disappears or significantly regresses by the end of menstruation.OBJECTIVE: To find out the frequency of psychological, social and physical symptoms in relation tobody mass index, in patients with premenstrual syndrome.MATERIAL & METHODS: It was a cross sectional, prospective, observational study conducted fromMay 2010 to April 2011, in Out Patient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Post GraduateMedical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. By purposive non-probability sampling technique,150 subjects were selected among attendants of regular patients, after fulfilling inclusion criterion ofreproductive age women, in age group of 15-40years. Body Mass Index (kg/m2) was recorded andcategorized, as low (<18.5), normal (18.5 and <25), over weight (25 and <30) and obese (>30).Premenstrual symptoms were recorded through Quantification of severity of psychological, social andphysical symptoms, for two consecutive symptomatic cycles. SPSS 16.0 was used to analyze the data.Mean±SD, frequency and percentages were used for numerical and categorical variables, respectively.Chi-Square test was used to compare the proportion of premenstrual syndrome at different BMIs. Pvalue < 0.05 was taken as significant between pairs of variables.RESULTS: A total of 150 female patients were included in the study. Mean age was 26±6.2 years (15-45). About 61% (n=91) were unmarried, 38% (n=57) were married, and one case each of widow anddivorced. Mean body mass index was 24.5±3.6 kg/m . About 10% (n=15) subjects had low BMI, 52%(n=79) had normal BMI, while 30% (n=45) were overweight and 7% (n= l 1) were obese. Psychologicalsymptoms were present in 45% (n=68) of patients, followed by 42% (n=64) and 59% (n=89), of patientshaving social and physical symptoms, respectively. There was a general trend of more psychologicalsymptoms in overweight and obese group, with no statistically significant difference. Those patientswith low to normal BMI has less chances of having social symptoms. Physical symptoms were morefrequently observed in obese group, with no statistically significant difference.CONCLUSION: There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of symptomatologyof premenstrual syndrome among the studied categories of Body Mass Index.KEY WORDS: Premenstural syndrome, Body Mass Index

Obesity In Children

AbstractBackgroundChildren with congenital cardiac disease experience challenges in developing healthy patterns of physical activity due to decreased exercise capacity and parental fear and confusion about what is permissible. The purpose of this study was to describe physical activity habits in children 10–14 years of age with congenital cardiac disease and the relationship of those habits to obesity as defined by body mass index.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used self-report measures and clinical data to describe the association between physical activity participation and body mass index in 10- to 14-year-old children with congenital cardiac disease. Further, physical activity levels were compared between children who were overweight or obese and those who were not.ResultsChildren (n = 84; 51 males; 33 females) reported low rates of physical activity compared to reports on healthy children. Only 9.5% were overweight (body mass index between the 85th and 94th percentile), and alarmingly 26% were obese (body mass index at or above the 95th percentile). Physical activity and body mass index were not significantly correlated (r = −0.11, p = 0.45) and there was no significant difference in mean physical activity (t = 0.67) between children who were overweight or obese and those who were not.ConclusionsChildren in this study reported low rates of physical activity and a higher obesity rate than was reported in previous studies. However, the two were not significantly correlated. Further research is indicated to determine the specific factors contributing to obesity and to test interventions to combat obesity in children with congenital cardiac disease.

Background: Permanent pacemakers (PPM) have improved cardiovascular outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in patients with a wide variety of cardiac rhythm disturbances. Nevertheless, misperceptions about the safety of daily activities (SODA) and associated factors can compromise patients’ absolute well-being. We aimed to study factors associated with worst QoL in PPM patients. Methods: PPM patients from a tertiary hospital answered an 18-question questionnaire about their perception on the SODA, which was scored based on misperception rate. Patients also answered SF-36, a validated QoL questionnaire which is scored from 0 to 100 on each of its 8 scales. Baseline characteristics were compared to average on SF-36 scales in a cross-sectional model by t-test for categorical variables and by univariable regression for continuous variables. Statistical analysis was done with Stata software 10.0 (Texas). Results: A total of 75 PPM patients aged 65.3±12 years were included, of which 31 (41%) were males. Most common reason for PPM was 3rd degree atrioventricular block (44%). Body mass index (p=0.019) and misperception rate on SODA (p=0.003) presented a significant negative regression coefficient with SF-36 average. Age, gender, average income, Chagas disease etiology, diabetes, hypertension, ejection fraction, NYHA classification, previous myocardial infarction (MI), smoking history and peripheral vascular disease were not significantly associated with SF-36 QoL results. Conclusions: In a cross-sectional study, body mass index and misperceptions about the safety of daily-life activities were associated with worst quality of life in patients with permanent pacemaker. These results suggest that optimal physician education of patients and their families about the SODA for PPM patients may ultimately improve patients’ well-being.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Background: Studies have concluded that the medical students of hostels are at high risk of anemia due to inappropriate diet and their long schedules that indirectly affect their performance. Thus, concerning for the long duration of medical studies, it has become a serious medical issue. Aims and Objective: Thus, our objective is to determine the prevalence of anemia among medical students in Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study which was conducted and Teaching Hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 where all the subjects were selected with convenient sampling technique. The total of 150 MBBS students (male=95, female=55), age 18-25 years were included in the study who were clinically healthy. The demographic data (name, age, sex, address) and anthropometric variables (height, weight, body mass index) were recorded and hemoglobin was estimated by Sahli’s acid hematin method. Results: Only 42.1% of total were mild anemic and 11.6 % were moderately anemic. Among female, 1.8% were severely anemic, 9.1% were moderately anemic and 41.8% were mild anemic. Compared to male, anemia in female medical students was found to be more extensive. Conclusions: It has been concluded from the above study that the mild anemia is highly prevalent among medical students regardless of gender. Though the subjects are not severely affected, it is a concerned issue since the cause might be inappropriate food habit or the food facilities available at hostels.

AbstractBackground:Although a number of studies have examined the relationship between depression and obesity, it is still insufficient to establish the specific pattern of relationship between depression and body mass index (BMI) categories. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the relationship between depression and BMI categories.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted for a cohort of 159,390 Korean based on Kangbuk Samsung Health Study (KSHS). Study participants were classified into 5 groups by Asian-specific cut-off of BMI (18.5, 23, 25 and 30 kg/m2). The presence of depression was determined by Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scales (CES-D) = 16 and = 25. The adjusted odd ratios (ORs) for depression were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis, in which independent variable was 5 categories of BMI and dependent variable was depression. Subgroup analysis was conducted by gender and age.Results:When normal group was set as a reference, the adjusted ORs for depression formed U-shaped pattern of relationship with BMI categories [underweight: 1.31 (1.14–1.50), overweight: 0.94 (0.85–1.04), obese group: 1.01 (0.91–1.12), severe obese group: 1.28 (1.05–1.54)]. This pattern of relationship was more prominent in female and young age group than male and elderly subgroup. BMI level with the lowest likelihood of depression was 18.5 kg/m2 to 25 kg/m2 in women and 23 kg/m2 to 25 kg/m2 in men.Conclusions:There was a U-shaped relationship between depression and BMI categories. This finding suggests that both underweight and severe obesity are associated with the increased risk for depression.

Prevalence Of Obesity

The study investigated changes in the prevalence of obesity, sedentary behavior (SB) and physical inactivity (PI) in adolescents. Two cross-sectional studies were analyzed, 2010 and 2017, with probabilistic samples from students (328 and 366, respectively) in 12 municipal schools in Niterói, RJ. Obesity was classified based on body mass index (BMI = weight / height2) Z score values ≥ +2, according to the World Health Organization criteria. The weight classification was made with body mass index (BMI = weight/height2), the SB for those with some screen behavior (television, video game) for ≥ 2 hours/day and IF those who performed <300 min / week moderate to intense physical activity. The comparison between the studies was based on the chi-square test (categorical variables) and Student's t test (continuous variables). The prevalence of obesity increased in boys (6.2% to 15.6% p <0.001) and decreased in girls (8.4% to 6.9% p = 0.035). The frequency of SB decreased from (90.7% to 67.7% p <0.001) in boys and from (90.3 to 52.8% p <0.001) in girls and the PI did not change in boys and increased in girls (84.6% to 89.9% p <0.001). The changes observed were sex-dependent, with boys more vulnerable to increased obesity, girls more PI and both sexes less SB in the investigated period.

Background and Objectives: Estimation of dental age is based upon the rate of development and calcification of tooth buds and their progressive sequence of eruption in the oral cavity. The tooth calcification provides a valuable indicator of dental age and serves as an index of the maturation of the child. The aim of this study is to determine whether Body Mass Index (BMI) has association with dental maturation. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study design was applied for the present study, 383 school children were participated in this study which nominated from Erbil city. For the sample to be representative the city was divided in to six geographic areas according to the municipalities, the samples randomly selected school children of 10 to 14 years old from both genders. The height and the weight of each participant had been recorded in the college of dentistry / Hawler Medical University in order to calculate the body mass index of the following the guidelines of centers of disease control (CDC) , at the same time an orthopantomography radiograph had been used to investigate the stage of the dental maturation using the Demirjian method, finally, the relationship between BMI and dental maturation were investigated using chi square test with P value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant difference. Result: there was a statistically significant relationship between dental maturation and BMI. The majority (93.6%) of samples with under-mature dentition were under-weight at the same time. The vast majority (96%) of samples with mature dentition had normal BMI. In the same manner, majority (91.7%) of samples with over mature dentition were over-weight too. Chi square test was used to find out the association and P-value was 0.001 Conclusion: In conclusion, normal weight students have normal dental maturation, underweight students have under dental maturation and overweight or obese students have over dental maturation.
