Limb Dominance

To test the null hypothesis that limb dominance (laterality) and side of complaint are not associated in a diverse population, nearly 400 patients (40% male, 60% female) of varying age and body size from three South Florida podiatric medical teaching facilities were surveyed in 1995-1996. Radiographs of feet were available for 15% of the patients, and the metatarsus adductus angle was measured on each x-ray. The typical patient was a women (median age, 49 years) of average body weight and average body-mass index. No statistical association was found between laterality and side of complaint in the broader sample, although a significant association did appear in the subsample of patients with bilateral x-rays. The prevalence of metatarsus adductus deformity (metatarsus adductus angle > 15 degrees) among patients with x-rays was 62%. No sex-specific, age-specific, or body size-specific associations were found between handedness and metatarsus adductus deformity.

Purpose. To determine the risk of macrosomia in pregnant women as a function of body weight.Material and Methods. The study included 754 patients. All patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 included 262 obese patients with an average body mass index (BMI) of 33.1 (31.4; 35.9) kg/m2, aged 30 (27; 34) years. Group 2 comprised 260 overweight patients with an average body mass index of 27.5 (26.4; 28.7) kg/m2, aged 29 (25; 33) years. Group 3 (control) included 232 patients with normal body weight, BMI of 22.6 (21.0; 23.8) kg/m2, aged 28 (25; 31.5) years. Anthropometric data were assessed in all patients with the performance of general clinical and laboratory examinations.Results. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis for continuous variables, a prognostic model for the birth of a large fetus with a probability of up to 70.3% was constructed.

The purpose of this study is to find out the body mass index of women's artistic gymnastics in West Java. The research method used is the survey method. The population and sample in this study were all female Javanese artistic gymnastics athletes, amounting to 50 people and sampling using the total sampling technique. The instruments used are BMI (Body Mass Index) with the formula BMI = BB (Kg) / TB (m) 2. The technique of calculating and analyzing data in this study through a quantitative approach in the form of a percentage. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the average body mass index (BMI) of female artistic gymnastics athletes in West Java is 19.57kg / m2, with a standard deviation of 0.76. Whereas the minimum value is 18.07kg / m2, and the maximum value is 22.06kg / m2. Based on the qualification table of the Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment, it can be concluded that the average female artistic gymnastics in West Java has a qualification for the Normal Body Mass Index.

Objectives. The objective of this study is to assess the state of oral health, from the perspective of the number of teeth present, according to the body mass index as a representative element of health. Materials and methods. This study consists of 180 patients from a private dental practice. All 180 patient records were reviewed for an assessment of the number of teeth present and the body mass index at menopausal age. The cohort of patients was divided into two groups, a group of women aged 40 to 54.9 years and the second group, which included women aged 55 and over. The 2 groups were divided based on premenopausal (group I) and postmenopausal (group II) age. Results. The average number of present teeth (based on radiographs) for the entire population of 180 patients is 22.02 teeth. In group I, for the 109 women in the premenopausal group, the average number of teeth is 23.94. The total number of teeth for the 71 women in the postmenopausal group is 19.07. The average BMI for the entire group of patients is 27.24 kg/m2, with a lower value in group I, 26.25 kg/m2, compared to group II, 28.78 kg/m2. Discussions. The average number of teeth in the premenopausal group is higher than in the postmenopausal group. The average body mass index places the whole series of patients in the overweight category. Conclusions. This study shows that the relationship between BMI and the number of lost teeth is positive and proportional, BMI increases with increasing number of teeth lost at premenopausal age.

Abstract Background: National data show that lesbian and bisexual women are more likely to be overweight and obese compared to straight women. Little is known about whether provider recommendation for weight management varies across these populations. Objectives: To compare, among lesbian, bisexual, and straight females with BMIs≥30: 1) the average Body Mass Index (BMI); 2) receipt of a diagnostic code for obesity; and 3) receipt of a provider recommendation for weight management.Design: We performed a cross-sectional study of 536 patient records from four outpatient academic internal medicine practices at the University of Pennsylvania between January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 to determine variations in average BMI, proportion of ICD-10 codes for obesity, and proportion of weight management recommendations offered by providers among lesbian, bisexual and straight females with BMIs≥30. We classified provider recommendations as definite, possible, and absent. Multivariable linear (BMI outcome only) or logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between sexual orientation and each of the following outcomes: BMI, receipt of obesity diagnosis, and weight management recommendations.Patients: Lesbian, bisexual, and straight females with BMIs≥30Main Measures: 1) the average Body Mass Index (BMI); 2) receipt of a diagnostic code for obesity; and 3) receipt of a provider recommendation for weight management Key Results: There were no significant differences in BMI, receipt of obesity diagnoses, or weight management recommendations between lesbian, bisexual, and straight females with BMIs≥30. However, only about half the patients with BMIs≥30, regardless of sexual orientation, received a weight management recommendation as recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines.Conclusion: Disparities in BMI, receipt of obesity diagnoses, or receipt of weight management recommendations between sexual orientation minority and heterosexual females do not exist in this urban population. However, provider recommendation for weight management was suboptimal in all the groups.

The objective of the present study is to research the incidence of explosive strength on the ball kick in soccer players of senior category from the “Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo”, through the application of a comprehensive training program to improve explosive strength and ball kick for 8 weeks. In this study 50 soccer players were evaluated. The age, body weight (kg), height (cm) and body mass index were evaluated. The pre-post ball kick power test was applied as well. The soccer sketch 2.5.0 program was used for the preparation of the training sessions and the SPSS statistical package was used for the results tabulation. The results obtained are as follows: average age of 21.82, average body mass index 26.72 (kg/m2). An average of (55.92m) was obtained in the pre-test of ball strength, and an average of (62.88m) was obtained in the post test obtaining a level of significance of (0.002). In conclusion, the application of training sessions of comprehensive exercises of explosive strength and ball kick are very important to improve sports performance of the soccer players.
