Objectives The prevalence of obesity in childhood and adolescence is a major public health problem and has increased dramatically over the last few decades. More attention is needed because it is closely related to some non-communicable diseases and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness to the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents. Methods The sample of the study was 44 adolescents. This research is an observational analytic study. The sample of this study measured body mass index, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolic syndrome through measurement of abdominal circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and blood fasting glucose. Results The results of the simultaneous test showed that both body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness had a significant effect on the risk of metabolic syndrome (p = 0.000). The higher BMI tended to have metabolic syndrome 1.746 times higher than not having metabolic syndrome. The propensity of the unfit condition of cardiorespiratory having metabolic syndrome is 4.283 times higher than the one that has the fit condition. This logistic regression model is quite good because it can predict correctly 72.7% of the conditions that occur. Conclusions This study showed that the higher body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness conditions can be used as predictors of metabolic syndrome in adolescents.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as its characteristics and predictors. Seventh-three women, with body mass index of 30.4 ± 7.8 kg/m² and 25.0 ± 6.0 years old, subdivided according to body mass index, were studied retrospectively. There was no significant mean age difference among body mass index groups (p = 0.228). Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 38.4%, with a null prevalence for normal (n = 18), 23.8% for overweight (n = 17), 62.9% for obese (n = 28), and 85.5% for morbidly obese women (n = 7). Women with metabolic syndrome were older than women without metabolic syndrome (27.3 ± 5.3 vs. 24.2 ± 4.6 vs. years old; p = 0.031) and presented a higher body mass index (36.3 ± 7.7 vs. 26.9 ± 5.4; p < 0.001). There was no difference for degree of hirsutism and menstrual patterns between women with and without metabolic syndrome (p = 0.593 and p = 0.119, respectively). Regarding laboratory parameters, DHEAS was lower (1,646 ± 1,007 vs. 2,594 ± 1,563; p = 0.007) and HOMA-IR were higher (9.9 ± 9.7 vs. 4.6 ± 4.7; p = 0.004) in women with metabolic syndrome (p = 0.031 and p < 0.001, respectively). The best predictors of metabolic syndrome were waist circumference > 88 cm, HDL-cholesterol < 50 mg/dL and triglycerides > 150 mg/dL.

Abstract Background We aimed to evaluate the correlation of neck circumference with abdominal circumference and body mass index in patients with metabolic syndrome in Chocope, Trujillo. Methods This cross-sectional study included patients with untreated metabolic syndrome. Health professionals measured the anthropometric parameters of participants as per the international guidelines. Pearson’s correlation coefficients and single and multiple regression models were used for analysis. Results Data from 250 participants showed homogeneous distribution with respect to age, comorbidities, and biochemical properties according to sex. The mean age was 53.6 years. A positive correlation of neck circumference with abdominal circumference (r = 0.6 and 0.74 for females and males, respectively) and body mass index (r = 0.51 and 0.65 for females and males, respectively) was observed. The linear correlation model showed that a 1-cm increase in neck circumference increased the abdominal circumference by 2.20 cm (p < 0.001) and 2.27 cm (p < 0.001) and body mass index by 0.72 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) and 0.94 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) in males and females, respectively, independent of other variables. Conclusions In participants with metabolic syndrome in this study, neck circumference showed a strong correlation with abdominal circumference and body mass index. This anthropometric parameter can be extremely useful for evaluating obesity among patients with metabolic syndrome.

This study aims to determine the effect of red kidney bean sprout milk yogurt (Rides-Yo) on abdominal circumference, blood pressure, and body mass index of metabolic syndrome women. Red kidney bean sprouts milk added with 10% sucrose and 10% skim milk pasteurized at 70 ° C for 10 minutes, then cooled to 45oC. Inoculated with lactic acid bacteria 2% of the total volume of red bean milk, incubated at 27-35oC for 24 hours. As many as 30 women, 40-65 years aged, central obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, live in the Baturraden subdistrict, Banyumas Regency, and are willing to sign informed consent. Subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups; the first group was given Rides-Yo; the second group was given a placebo; and group 3 took medicine from a doctor. A total of 200 mL/day of Rides-Yo or placebo was given to the subjects for 2 months. Before and after the intervention, subjects were measured for abdominal circumference, blood pressure, weight and height. There was a decrease in abdominal circumference (P=0,018), systole and diastolic blood pressure (P <0.038 and P=0,032), and BMI (P=0,039) in the group receiving Rides-Yo, compared to placebo and control groups. Thus, Rides-Yo is able to improve the health status of women with metabolic syndrome.

Background: Obesity is currently considered an increasingly more severe social and health-related problem. The World Health Organization qualified obesity as a chronic disease associated with several chronic complications such as circulatory diseases, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory diseases. Aims: We aim to establish the correlation between Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet MD and the anthropometric profile of obese Algerian subjects. Subjects and Methods: Our study included a cohort of 104 subjects. 47 subjects were at a normal weight and 57 subjects with an overweight (a body mass index BMI of 26 to 35 Kg/m2). Assessment of anthropometric profile took into account the BMI and body composition. The adherence to the MD was assessed using Mediterranean Diet Score MDS. Results: there is a positive correlation between adherence to MD and anthropometric parameters in obese subjects. Conclusions: The Mediterranean diet could positively impact comorbidities accompanying this disease that poses a major public health problem. Keywords: Obesity, Mediterranean Diet, anthropometric profile, body mass index, Mediterranean Diet Score.

AbstractObesity is a major public health problem worldwide owing to the substantial increase in risk of metabolic diseases. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) regulate transcriptional responses to hypoxic stress. DNA methylation in the CpG sites of intron 1 of HIF3A is associated with body mass index in the whole blood and adipose tissue. This study investigates the correlation between DNA methylation of HIF3A and parameters of obesity, including thickness of visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissues, in the general Japanese population. Participants (220 men and 253 women) who underwent medical examination were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. We used pyrosequencing to quantify DNA methylation (CpG sites of cg16672562, cg22891070, and cg27146050) in HIF3A. DNA methylation of HIF3A was only different in women. Multiple regression analysis showed that DNA methylation level at cg27146050 was associated with thickness of VAT in women. DNA methylation level at cg27146050 also correlated with body mass index and percentage of body fat in women after excluding smokers and non-smokers who quit smoking with the last 5 years. DNA methylation in the CpG site (cg27146050) of HIF3A correlated with parameters of obesity in Japanese women.

Introduction. Undernutrition continues to be a major public health problem throughout the developing world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia including India. Limited studies suggest associations between maternal body mass index (BMI) and child nutritional status. The present study aims to determine the relationship between maternal BMI and children nutritional status. Methods. The study was conducted among 246 mothers who had given birth to single children (n=246) and belonged to the Proto-Australoid population of North Bengal, India. The anthropometric measurements of height and weight were recorded following standard procedures. Overall body composition was evaluated using BMI. Result. The results showed that overall mean BMI among mothers was 20.63±2.53 kg/m2, while those among boys and girls were 15.19±1.62 kg/m2 and 14.86±1.37 kg/m2 (p<0.001), respectively. The BMI of mothers were significantly and highly correlated with HAZ (0.709) and BMIZ (0.748) (p<0.001) of children. These are indicative of a strong genetic component between maternal and child anthropometry. Conclusion. The results indicate significant associations between mothers’ and children’s nutritional status. Assessments of body composition and nutritional status using BMI, especially among mothers and their children, are recommended.

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common disorders and is a major public health problem that causes 20% to 50% of world mortality. On the other hand, obesity is also a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis and has a major share in health costs. Therefore, the relationship between body mass index and blood pressure has been considered. By this study, in general, about these indicators in the age group of under 30 years, useful information can be found.  Methods: In order to collect information, a questionnaire was prepared and a random sampling was completed for a number of students from Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. The data were analyzed using spss version 22. Results: By analyzing the results, it was found that systolic and diastolic blood pressures of both hands had a direct and significant relationship with age, so that by increasing the age, there is an increasing in hypertension (p≤0.001). Systolic blood pressure also showed a significant relationship with gender, and it was found that in men it is more than women. Finally, in examining the relationship between BMI and blood pressure, the results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between these two parameters, so that the increase in BMI also increases the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: Blood pressure in students has a direct and significant correlation with age, sex, and body mass index.

Background:Dental caries is a major public health problem and the most widespread chronic disease to affect individuals throughout their lifetime. Little information exists about the prevalence of dental caries among Egyptian adults. Therefore, this study investigated the dental caries experience among Egyptian adults in correlation with different risk factors.Methods:A total of 359 Egyptian adults (age range, 18-74 years) were examined over a period of 3 months, starting on the 15thof November 2017 until the 13thof January 2018. Socio-demographic data, brushing frequency, body mass index (BMI) and eating habits were recorded and collected using a questionnaire. Dental examination was performed using the Decayed, Missing and Filled tooth (DMFT) index.Results:In total, 86.63% of participants had dental caries experience. Of the participants, 60.45%, 48.47% and 55.43% had at least one decayed, missing and filled tooth, respectively. The mean number of decayed, missing, filled or DMFT for the whole sample were 2.4±3.6, 1.98±3.99, 1.79±2.45, 6.09±5.7, respectively. Decayed teeth were inversely correlated with socio-economic status (SES), education level, brushing frequency and milk consumption and positively correlated with grains, junk food and soda drinks consumption. Missing teeth were inversely correlated with SES, education level and brushing frequency, while positively correlated with age, BMI and caffeinated drink consumption. Conversely, filled teeth were positively correlated with age, BMI, SES and education level, while negatively correlated with grains and sugars in drinks.Conclusion:The present study clarifies that age, BMI, SES, education level and brushing frequency are risk factors significantly associated with dental caries prevalence amongst Egyptian adults. Egyptian adults' dietary habits might lead to obesity, which indirectly causes dental caries rather than directly as in children.
