OBJECTIVE: Correlate shift work with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, chronotype and depressive symptoms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study comprising 14 shift workers and 13 day workers. Subjects were workers from the health area aged 25 to 60 years. Minor psychiatric disorders were accessed by Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and depressive symptoms by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Chronotype was accessed using Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Anthropometric measures were taken. RESULTS: Shift workers presented higher BMI (P = 0.03) and waist circumference (P = 0.004) than day workers. Years on shift work were significantly correlated to waist circumference (r = 0.43; P = 0.03) and age (r = 0.47; P = 0.02). Shift work was not correlated with depressive symptoms and chronotype. CONCLUSION: These results may suggest a role played by shift work on the development and/or the early clinic manifestations of metabolic disturbances, becoming a risk factor to metabolic syndrome.

AbstractBackgroundU.S. Latinos report high levels of concern about deportation for themselves or others. No previous research has tested the link between worry about deportation and clinical measures of cardiovascular risk.PurposeWe estimate the associations between worry about deportation and clinically measured cardiovascular risk factors.MethodsData come from the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas study. The analytic sample includes 545 Mexican-origin women.ResultsIn multivariable models, reporting a lot of worry about deportation was significantly associated with greater body mass index, greater risk of obesity, larger waist circumference, and higher pulse pressure. Reporting moderate deportation worry was significantly associated with greater risk of overweight and higher systolic blood pressure. Significant associations between worry about deportation and greater body mass index, waist circumference, and pulse pressure, respectively, held after correcting for multiple testing at p < .05.ConclusionsWorry about deportation may be an important cardiovascular risk factor for ethnic minority populations in the USA.

Abstract : Obesity, Overweight, Sensitivity, Specificity, Waist Circumference. Body mass index couldn’t differentiated correlation between body weight with muscle or body fat and indication distribution of body fat. Waist circumference measurement needed because it is convenient and strongly correlated with intra-abdominal fat content. This study aims to assess sensitivity and specificity of waist circumference measurement in identified overweight and obesity on adult women compared with body mass index as gold standard. This Study design is observational with cross sectional approach. Total of 80 women subjects aged >18-49 years old was selected using cluster random sampling. Sensitivity and specificity were analyzed from Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve. Cut-off waist circumference which used to identify overweight and obesity on adult women were >80 cm and >88 cm. The use of 80,1 cm of waist circumference was shown to have a good sensitivity and specificity (82% and 72%). Waist circumference have fair diagnostic power (area under curve was 0,784). Waist circumference can used to identify overweight and obesity because have sensitivity and specificity value good.

ABSTRACTObjective: This study was conducted to investigate the association between age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and incidence ofsymptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections in adult women and to study the impact of infection on lipid profile.Methods: A total of 30 women enrolled with symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections and 10 healthy women as control group. Mid-stream urinesamples were submitted. BMI, WC, and lipid profile were measured. Both leukocyte esterase and nitrite tests were used to diagnose the urinary tractinfection, and viable quantification was done as confirmatory for the diagnosis.Results: Revealed that there was a significant relationship between the incidence of symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections and age groups(p=0.04) as age group (21-30) years recorded the highest percentage (33.33%) followed by the age group (31-40) which recorded 30%. No significantassociation was found between BMI, WC and incidence of symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections (p=0.08, p=0.14) respectively. Comparedto healthy control group, there was a significant decrease in the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density-lipoprotein, very-low-densitylipoprotein,and low-density-lipoprotein (p=0.0001, p=0.006, p=0.001, p=0.006, and p=0.0001), respectively.Conclusion: The young women were significantly susceptible to symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections than other age groups. Both BMI andWC were not significant indicators for the incidence of symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections in adult women. Adult women with symptomaticbacterial urinary tract infections showed a significant decrease in lipid profile parameters when compared with the control healthy adult women.Keywords: Age, Body mass index, Waist circumference, Lipid profile, Urinary tract infections.
