Abstract:
In young adults, overweight and hypertension possibly already trigger cardiac remodeling as seen in mature adults, potentially overlapping non-ischemic cardiomyopathy findings. To this end, in young overweight and hypertensive adults, we aimed to investigate changes in left ventricular mass (LVM) and cardiac volumes, and the impact of different body scales for indexation. We also aimed to explore the presence of myocardial fibrosis, fat and edema, and changes in cellular mass with extracellular volume (ECV), T1 and T2 tissue characteristics. We prospectively recruited 126 asymptomatic subjects (51% male) aged 27–41 years for 3T cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: 40 controls, 40 overweight, 17 hypertensive and 29 hypertensive overweight. Myocyte mass was calculated as (100%–ECV) * height2.7-indexed LVM. Absolute LVM was significantly increased in overweight, hypertensive and hypertensive overweight groups (104 ± 23, 109 ± 27, 112 ± 26 g) versus controls (87 ± 21 g), with similar volumes. Body surface area (BSA) indexation resulted in LVM normalization in overweights (48 ± 8 g/m2) versus controls (47 ± 9 g/m2), but not in hypertensives (55 ± 9 g/m2) and hypertensive overweights (52 ± 9 g/m2). BSA-indexation overly decreased volumes in overweight versus normal-weight (LV end-diastolic volume; 80 ± 14 versus 92 ± 13 ml/m2), where height2.7-indexation did not. All risk groups had lower ECV (23 ± 2%, 23 ± 2%, 23 ± 3%) than controls (25 ± 2%) (P = 0.006, P = 0.113, P = 0.039), indicating increased myocyte mass (16.9 ± 2.7, 16.5 ± 2.3, 18.1 ± 3.5 versus 14.0 ± 2.9 g/m2.7). Native T1 values were similar. Lower T2 values in the hypertensive overweight group related to heart rate. In conclusion, BSA-indexation masks hypertrophy and causes volume overcorrection in overweight subjects compared to controls, height2.7-indexation therefore seems advisable.

Abstract:
The trend of overweight and obesity was growing with shifts in individual and behavioral factors. Globally, overweight and obesity becoming a major problem, yet extensive data especially in Africa is still lacking. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence, socio-economic, and lifestyle-related factors associated with overweight and obesity among women aged 18-49 years in Kizinda in Bushenyi district. A cross-sectional analytical study design was used. Data on prevalence was collected through anthropometric measurements using the BMI (Body Mass Index) while those of socio-economic and individual factors were collected with a structured questionnaire. 271 women aged 18-49 years in Kizinda Trading Center, Bushenyi district were sampled. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age in Bushenyi town was 47.24% and 19.92% respectively. Housewives were twice as likely to be overweighed and obese [AOR: 2.10, 95% CI (0.87- 3.15)]. Unemployed women have 74% [AOR: 1.26, 95% CI (0.50-2.36)] higher odds of being overweight or obese and those who earn >700000 shillings have 37% [AOR: 1.63, 95% CI (0.56-2.25)] higher odds to be overweight and obese. Compared with women who live in rented houses, those who live in their own houses were 48% [AOR: 1.52, 95% CI (0.78-2.94)] higher odds of being overweight or obese. Women who engaged in physical activity had 65% [AOR: 0.35, 95% CI (0.17-1.27)] less odds of being overweight or obese compared to those who did not. Participants whose food intake is mostly rice and ghee had 55% [AOR: 1.45, 95% CI (0.40-1.27)] and 44% [AOR: 1.56, 95% CI (0.53-2.11)] more odds of being overweight or obese respectively compared to those who take Posho. Women whose food intake was mostly milk were two times [AOR: 2.01, 95% CI (0.55-2.75)] more likely to be overweighed or obese compared to those who take Posho. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age in Bushenyi calls for serious attention. Public health interventions through awareness programs about the consequences of overall and abdominal obesity should be implemented. Keywords: Overweight, Obesity, Posho, Women, Housewives.

Abstract:
Background: Eating habits were often linked with overweight or obesity. Several types of food that are often consumed by the public were known to be associated with the occurrence of being overweight/obesity. But information about the association of each type of food is lacking especially in young adults. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the association between eating habits with overweight status among women young adults in Indonesia. Methods: This study analyzed 4966 adults from the fifth waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS5) in 2014. Eating habits are measured by the frequency of consumption of each type of food. A chi square test and logistic regression were used to explore the association between the variables with the overweight status among women young adults. Results: The prevalence of overweight and non-overweight were known to be 41.1% and 59.9%. Milk; cheese; and others consumption (p=0.006) and rice consumption (p=0.017) had negative correlation with overweight/obesity meanwhile sweet foods consumption was associated with overweigh/obesity (p=0,034). On the other hand, it is shown that there is no association between egg consumption, meat consumption, soft drink consumption, and fast food consumption with overweight status among women young adult (p>0,05). Conclusions: It was concluded that the consumption of sweet foods was associated with a higher likelihood of being overweight or obese. In addition, the consumption of rice and milk; cheese; butter; and others that were less frequent associated with a lower likelihood of being overweight or obese. Therefore, the consumption of sweet foods among adult needs to be limited in order to reduce and prevent the problem of being overweight.

Abstract:
Overweight and obesity which are known to pose serious health problems are becoming increasingly prevalent in Nigeria which is a sub-Saharan African country. This study utilized the 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey to examine demographic and socio-economic risk factors of overweight and obesity among Nigerian women aged 15-49 years. Exploratory analysis was used to provide basic description of the data while a semiparametric structured additive models was used to describe the relationship between the presumed factors and overweight and obesity status while also accounting for spatial effects at state level. The national prevalence of overweight and obesity among Nigerian women was found to be 27.4%. Increased risk of overweight and obesity among Nigerian women was found to be strongly associated with being older, high educational level, being rich, living in an urban area, having many children, being pregnant, and residing in southern part of Nigeria. In respect to ethnicity and religion, the Fulani tribe and Islamic religion were associated with lower prevalence of overweight and obesity. Overweight and obesity were found to be significantly more prevalent in the Southern parts compared to the Northern parts of Nigeria. The highest and lowest prevalence of overweight and obesity were observed in Anambra and Yobe states respectively. Prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher among Muslim women compared to Christian women since most Northern women are Muslims and most Southern women are Christians. Random (unstructured) spatial effects were significant indicating that overweigh/obesity was influenced by unobserved state specific factors

Abstract:
Overweight and obesity are health problems that can affect many children and adolescents around the world. The literature has identified that the prevalence of overweight and obesity is high in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia) in children and adolescents attending schools in Saudi Arabia. Student counselling practices can be a cost effective way to help students to deal with overweight and obesity in Saudi schools. The aim of the study was to conduct an evidence-based review of the literature in order to suggest new approaches to applying student counselling services and programmes in order to directly combat overweight and obesity in schools in Saudi Arabia. The study used a non-empirical review of the literature on overweigh and obesity and on student counselling in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. The study argues that in theory student counsellors in schools in Saudi Arabia are ideally placed to help to directly address and reduce the existing high prevalence of overweight and obesity in youths and adolescents attending schools in Saudi Arabia. This could be done using a combination of dietary interventions and counselling methods. The research study concludes that student counselling in schools in Saudi Arabia could potentially be used to directly help to combat and reduce levels of overweight and obesity among school children and adolescents in the long term.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between timing of permanent tooth emergence with overweight and obesity in children from Brazilian Amazon region. The studied population consisted of 192 children, 09 to 12 year-old, from public schools at Manaus, Amazonas-Brazil. Clinical examination was performed and the tooth emergence was evaluated according to the number of permanent erupted teeth. Body mass index z-score was calculated. For the statistical analysis ‘Overweight/obese’ group was compared with ‘Normal weight’ group in a case to control ratio 1:2. The t-test based on age was used for means comparison between the groups. A linear regression analysis using age and gender as co-variants was used. The established alpha was 5%. One hundred twenty-seven children were classified as normal weight and 65 were classified as overweight/obese (49 were overweight and 16 were obese). Overweight/obesity condition was associated with the gender, in which boys had a higher chance to present higher weight conditions (OR=1.84; CI 95% 1.06-3.37; p=0.04). The mean number of permanent teeth was higher in the overweight/obesity group (p<0.001). Linear regression analysis demonstrated that nutritional status, gender and age were strongly associated with number of permanent erupted teeth (p<0.05). In conclusion, our study demonstrated that timing of permanent tooth emergence is associated with overweigh/obesity in children from Manaus, Brazil.

Abstract:
This research study draws upon co-constructed data to describe and interpret overweight nurses' experiences of their interactions with overweight patients. Within the limited number of research studies that investigate the worldview of overweight nurses, it is suggested that overweight nurses may have more empathy with overweight patients, who often receive prejudicial and discriminatory care. The objectives of the study, using a qualitative hermeneutical methodology, underpinned by Gadamerian philosophy and a relativist ontological stance, were to describe and interpret the experiences and actions of overweight nurses in their interactions with overweight patients. Seven nurses from various nursing disciplines participated in the study and data were gathered through two semi-structured interviews and note-book keeping. Two key themes were derived from the data: firstly, how the nurses developed their understandings of being overweight and secondly, how they acted upon their understandings in the interaction with their overweight patient. The nurses developed their self and Other understandings of being overweight through personal experience. They acted upon their understandings and managed their self in the interaction with their overweight patient by managing their guilt, dissonance and personal prejudices. They managed their sensitive conversations with their overweight patient by developing embodied empathy. This study has generated new knowledge by proposing that the overweight nurses within this study combine: Other understanding; Self understanding; Acknowledging-thenmanaging prejudice; and Being-with: holistic interacting within their interactions with their overweight patients, which is defined as the new and original concept of embodied empathy-in-action.

Abstract:
Obesity and Periodontitis are two common chronic inflammatory diseases. Based upon the hypothesis that obesity associated systemic inflammation may affect susceptibility to chronic infectious diseases like periodontitis, the aim of this PhD programme was to investigate the association between overweight/obesity and periodontitis. Five studies were conducted: 1) a systematic review to summarise the current evidence on the association including a quantitative meta-analysis of odds ratios (ORs) for having periodontitis in overweight or obese individuals 2) a secondary analysis of individual patient data (n=333) ascertaining the association between overweight/obesity and the extent/severity and treatment response (2 months) of individuals with severe periodontitis 3) a case control analysis of 286 age-matched individuals to assess the odds of periodontitis diagnosis based on overweight or obese status, 4) a prospective cohort study (n=115) investigating the relationship between obesity and periodontal treatment clinical response, 5) a mechanistic study of twenty gingival specimens assessed for differential miRNAs expression between obese and normal weight individuals. Study 1 demonstrated a statistically significant association between overweight and obesity with diagnosis of periodontitis (ORs range= 1.8-2.3). In Study 2, obesity and overweight were statistically significant predictors of clinical periodontal response at 2 months (p<0.05) independently of dental plaque levels. Results from the Study 3 confirmed increased odds of diagnosis of periodontitis in overweight (OR=2.56) and obesity (OR=3.11) after adjusting for known confounders. Study 4 demonstrated that measures of body composition were predictors of poorer non-surgical periodontal treatment response (p<0.05). Study 5 confirmed statistically significant different miRNA signature profiles of gingival tissues between normal weight and obese individuals. In conclusion, this PhD programme provides evidence of a robust association between overweight/obesity and periodontitis prevalence, extent and severity, and treatment response. The results of this thesis support the classification of obesity as a risk indicator for periodontitis.

Abstract:
Overweight and stress interact in complex ways. Excess weight promotes chronic low-grade inflammatory states that can mobilise the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. HPA axis activation resulting from frequent stress situations can modify energy uptake and expenditure. Separately, both conditions have been linked to changes in brain integrity and executive performance. The organism adapts to situations of caloric surplus through boosting immune, neuroendocrine and cardiometabolic systems to restore energy homeostasis. The allostatic load model establishes that the cumulative effects of adapting to challenging scenarios may result in adverse health situations in the future. There is sufficient evidence to consider that a state of overweight is inherently linked to a higher chronic physiological stress, or allostatic load. Our hypothesis was that, independently of the effects of visceral adiposity, the aggregated effects of the biological alterations related to overweight would be enough detrimental to brain structure and executive functioning. Lean-to-obese volunteers aged 21 to 40 years were recruited from primary health care centres belonging to the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa. Subjects underwent a medical and neuropsychological examination, as well as a magnetic resonance imaging acquisition at the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. The allostatic load index consisted of the sum of several biomarkers representing physiological stress. Overweight subjects had a greater allostatic load than healthy weight participants. The allostatic load escalation was negatively correlated with the morphology of cortical areas and tracts known to be ascribed to circuits involved in cognitive control, reward-processing and the integration of visceral-sensory signalling. Finally, the intensification in this index correlated with worse cognitive flexibility.
El sobrepès i l'estrès interactuen de formes complexes. L'excés de pes promou estats inflamatoris crònics de baix grau que poden mobilitzar l'eix hipotalàmic-pituitari-adrenal (HPA). L'activació de l'eix HPA resultant de situacions d'estrès freqüents pot modificar la captació i la despesa d'energia. Les dues condicions s'han vinculat per separat a canvis en la integritat cerebral i l'acompliment executiu. L'organisme s'adapta a situacions de superàvit calòric a través de impulsar sistemes immunes, neuroendocrins i cardiometabòlics per restaurar l'homeòstasi energètica. El model de càrrega alostàtica estableix que els efectes acumulatius de l'adaptació a escenaris desafiadors poden resultar en situacions adverses per a la salut en el futur. Hi ha evidència suficient per a considerar que un estat de sobrepès està inherentment vinculat a un major estrès fisiològic crònic, o càrrega alostàtica. La nostra hipòtesi va ser que, independentment dels efectes de l'adipositat visceral, els efectes agregats de les alteracions biològiques relacionades amb l'excés de pes resultarien suficientment perjudicials per a la estructura cerebral i el funcionament executiu. Es van reclutar voluntaris amb normopès i sobrepès amb edats compreses entre els 21 i els 40 anys de centres d'atenció primària de salut pertanyents al Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa. Els subjectes es van sotmetre a un examen mèdic i neuropsicològic, així com a l'adquisició d'imatges per ressonància magnètica a l'Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. L'índex de càrrega alostàtica va consistir en la suma de diversos biomarcadors representant estrès fisiològic. Els subjectes amb sobrepès van presentar major càrrega alostàtica que els participants de pes saludable. L'escalada de càrrega alostàtica es va correlacionar negativament amb la morfologia d'àrees corticals i tractes coneguts per estar adscrits a circuits implicats en el control cognitiu, el processament de recompenses i la integració de la senyalització visceral-sensorial. Finalment, la intensificació en l'esmentat índex va correlacionar amb una pitjor flexibilitat cognitiva.

Abstract:
Background: Childhood overweight has become a growing public health challenge. It has been suggested that inadequate or excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) may result in permanent metabolic and neuronal changes in the developing fetus. Although effects of GWG on birth weight are established, less is known about its effects on the long-term weight status of the child. In 2009, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC) published recommendations for trimester-specific and total GWG depending on maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). It is unknown, however, how well the trimester-specific IOM/NRC recommendations for GWG identify women at risk of total GWG outside those recommendations. It is also unknown, whether a reverse from excessive GWG in early or mid-pregnancy reduces the risk of childhood overweight. Aims: Contribute to the existing knowledge on the association between GWG and childhood overweight (study 1). Examine whether and to what extent inadequate or excessive total GWG can be predicted in the first, second and third trimester, based on trimester-specific GWG cut-off values (study 2). Investigate whether a reverse from excessive GWG before the third trimester is associated with a risk reduction of childhood overweight (study 3). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The sample was recruited prior to the school entry health examinations in 2009 and 2010. Data on maternal weight was derived from medical records and child’s anthropometric data were measured. From 11,730 mother-child pairs available, 6,837 were included in study 1, 7,962 in study 2 and 6,767 in study 3. To investigate the effect of total GWG, overall and stratified by maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, and reverse from excessive GWG in early or mid-pregnancy, multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted including a large number of potential confounders. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. The prognostic values of lower and upper trimester-specific GWG cut-off values were examined by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and positive diagnostic likelihood ratio (DLR+). Results: 1) Overall, the risk of childhood overweight increased by 4% per additional kg GWG (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.05). Excessive total GWG was associated with a 57 % higher risk of childhood overweight (OR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.30, 1.91). Stratified by maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, significant associations between excessive GWG and childhood overweight found among normal weight mothers (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.66) and overweight mothers (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.06, 2.63). 2) Prediction of total GWG within the IOM/NRC recommendations increased with gestational age and was related to the maternal BMI category and outcome. In trimester two, inadequate total GWG could be predicted with a sensitivity of 49% and 60.2% and a PPV of 72.1% and 68.3% in underweight and normal-weight mothers, respectively. Excessive GWG could be predicted with a sensitivity of 72.7% and 70.4% and a PPV of 94.3% and 93.3% in overweight and obese mothers, respectively. 3) Compared to mothers who always gained below the excessive GWG cut-off values (reference category), children of mothers with excessive GWG in the third and any previous trimester had a 42% higher risk of overweight at school entry (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.17, 1.72). There was a 39% higher risk if mothers gained excessively in the third trimester only (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.82). No higher risk was observed for mothers who reversed from excessive GWG before the third trimester compared to reference category. Conclusions: Excessive total GWG appears to be a risk factor for childhood overweight. It can be well predicted from the second trimester on, in particular in overweight and obese women. Reverse from excessive GWG before the third trimester may reduce the risk of childhood overweight. More research is required to further establish the strength of association between GWG and childhood overweight. It appears possible to identify women at risk of gaining outside the recommendations as early as the second trimester. Those women should be allocated to appropriate weight modifying measures. The long-term benefit of GWG modifying measures on childhood overweight, especially a reverse from excessive GWG in the first or second trimester, should be investigated in randomised controlled studies.
Hintergrund: Kindliches Übergewicht stellt eine wachsende Herausforderung an das Gesundheitssystem dar. Es wird angenommen, dass eine inadäquate oder exzessive mütterliche gestationale Gewichtszunahme (GGZ) zu dauerhaften metabolischen und neuronalen Veränderungen im heranwachsenden Fötus führen kann. Zusammenhänge zwischen der GGZ und dem Geburtsgewicht des Kindes wurden umfassend belegt. Weniger erforscht ist der Einfluss der GGZ auf die langfristige Gewichtsentwicklung des Kindes. Im Jahre 2009 veröffentlichten das Institute of Medicine (IOM) und das National Research Council (NRC) Grenzwerte für die trimester-spezifische und totale GGZ in Abhängigkeit des mütterlichen Body Mass Index (BMI). Bisher unbekannt ist, in wie weit sich diese trimester-spezifischen Grenzwerte dazu eigenen, um eine Abweichung von den Grenzwerten am Ende der Schwangerschaft vorherzusagen und somit gefährdete Mütter frühzeitig zu identifizieren. Zudem ist ungeklärt, ob eine Umkehr von der exzessiven GGZ vor dem dritten Trimester mit einer Risikoreduktion für kindliches Übergewicht einhergeht. Ziele: Beitrag zur existierenden Literatur über den Zusammenhang zwischen GGZ und kindlichem Übergewicht (Studie 1). Analyse, ob und in welchem Ausmaß inadäquate oder exzessive GGZ am Ende der Schwangerschaft durch trimester-spezifische IOM/NRC GGZ Grenzwerte vorhergesagt werden kann (Studie 2). Analyse, ob eine Umkehr von exzessiver GGZ in der frühen oder mittleren Schwangerschaft das Risiko von späteren kindlichen Übergewichts reduziert (Studie 3). Methoden: In einer retrospektiven Kohortenstudie wurden Daten von 11.730 Mutter-Kind Paaren erhoben. Die Stichprobenrekrutierung erfolgte im Rahmen der Schuleingangsuntersuchungen in den Jahren 2009 und 2010. Angaben zum mütterlichen Gewicht wurden dem Mutterpass entnommen und die anthropometrischen Daten des Kindes gemessen. Von 11.730 verfügbaren Mutter-Kind Paaren, wurden 6.837 in Studie 1, 7.962 in Studie 2 und 6.767 in Studie 3 eingeschlossen. Multivariate logistische Regressionsanalysen wurden herangezogen, um den Effekt von totaler GGZ während der Schwangerschaft, über alle Mütter hinweg und stratifiziert nach präkonzeptionellen BMI, und der Umkehr von exzessiver GGZ vor dem dritten Trimester zu analysieren. Odds Ratios (OR) und 95% Konfidenzintervalle (CI) wurden berechnet und eine große Anzahl an potenziellen Störvariablen eingeschlossen. Die Vorhersagekraft der trimester-spezifischen Grenzwerte wurde mittels der Berechnung von Sensitivität, Spezifität, positiver prädiktiver Wert (PPV), negativer prädiktiver Wert (NPV) und der positive diagnostische Likelihood Ratio (DLR+) analysiert. Ergebnisse: 1) Insgesamt war jedes zusätzliche kg GGZ mit einer 4%igen Risikoerhöhung für kindliches Übergewicht assoziiert (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.05). Eine exzessive totale GGZ war mit einer 57%igen Risikosteigerung verbunden (OR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.30, 1.91). Die stratifizierte Analyse ergab signifikante Effekte für exzessive totale GGZ innerhalb der normalgewichtigen (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.66) und übergewichtigen Mütter (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.06, 2.63). 2) Die Vorhersage der totalen GGZ innerhalb der IOM/NRC Empfehlungen verbesserte sich mit fortschreitendem Gestationsalter und war abhängig von der mütterlichen BMI Kategorie und der Zielgröße. Bei den untergewichtigen bzw. normalgewichtigen Müttern konnte mit den trimester-spezifischen GGZ Grenzwerten des zweiten Trimesters eine inadäquate totale GGZ mit einer Sensitivität von 49% bzw. 60.2% und einem PPV von 72.1% bzw. 68.3% vorhergesagt werden. Bei den übergewichtigen und adipösen Müttern konnte mit den trimester-spezifschen GGZ Grenzwerten des zweiten Trimesters eine totale exzessive GGZ mit einer Sensitivität von 72.7% bzw. 70.4% und einem PPV von 94.3% bzw. 93.3% vorhergesagt werden. 3) Im Vergleich zu Müttern die während der gesamten Schwangerschaft unterhalb des Grenzwertes für exzessives GGZ lagen (Referenzkategorie), war eine exzessive Gewichtszunahme im dritten und mindestens einem vorhergehenden Trimester mit einer 42%igen Risikoerhöhung assoziiert (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.17, 1.72). Nahmen die Mütter nur im letzten Trimester exzessiv zu, lag die Risikoerhöhung bei 39% (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.82). Kein erhöhtes Risiko für kindliches Übergewicht zeigte sich bei den Müttern die ausschließlich in den ersten zwei Trimestern exzessiv zugenommen hatten. Diskussion: Exzessive GGZ scheint ein Risikofaktor für kindliches Übergewicht zu sein. Insbesondere bei übergewichtigen und adipösen Müttern kann eine exzessive GGZ außerhalb der IOM/NRC Empfehlungen ab dem zweiten Trimester vorhergesagt werden. Die Umkehr einer exzessiven GGZ vor dem dritten Trimester scheint das Risiko für kindliches Übergewicht zu reduzieren. Weitere Forschung über Stärke des Zusammenhangs zwischen GGZ und kindlichem Übergewicht ist notwendig. Es scheint möglich, Frauen deren totale GGZ potenziell außerhalb der Empfehlungen liegt ab dem zweiten Trimester zu identifizieren. Diese Frauen sollten wirkungsvollen gewichtsmodifizierenden Maßnahmen zugeführt werden. Die langfristige positive Auswirkung dieser Maßnahmen, insbesondere eine Umkehr von exzessiver GGZ vor dem dritten Trimester, auf die Prävention von kindlichem Übergewicht, sollte in randomisiert-kontrollierten Studien untersucht werden.

Abstract:
There is significant research evidence to demonstrate that physical activity can produce weight loss, weight maintenance and positive health effects in the overweight and obese. However, it can be difficult to get this population sufficiently active to achieve these benefits. This thesis reports on a series of studies that explore physical activity used alone and in conjunction with other weight management strategies. The primary aim was to gain a greater understanding about how weight loss and continued long term weight maintenance could be achieved. The first study was a systematic review on the dose of physical activity associated with weight loss and weight maintenance, it investigated if the current treatment dose was appropriate. The findings correlated with the recently published new CDC guidelines. In the second study, semi-structured interviews were employed to explore the attitudes and experiences of overweight and obese individuals towards weight loss and health. It was reported by participants that they prefer autonomy and personalisation to tailor weight loss and health strategies to their own lifestyles. It was also found that their knowledge base was confused and outdated. In the final study, a sample of overweight and obese adults took part in participatory action research with the aim to design and assess their own weight management programme. A multi-strategy weight management programme emerged that could be tailored to individual lifestyle. Tips and ideas were also devised to aid weight maintenance. This thesis found that the overweight and obese appeared to favour a multi-strategy weight management intervention that could be incorporated, personalised and tailored to their everyday lives. Physical activity (that was enjoyable, lifestyle or accomplished through accumulated bouts), dietary changes, education/improved knowledge base, support and weight monitoring all appeared to be important factors to aid weight management.

Abstract:
Obesity and insulin resistance are serious health concerns in children and adolescents (young people). Interventions to increase the potential for fat oxidation and improve insulin sensitivity could have widespread clinical relevance. Although exercise is often advocated for health, the factors implicated in the relationship between exercise, fat oxidation and insulin resistance are not well understood in young people. This thesis has investigated the effect of manipulations in exercise and breakfast on metabolism in young people, focusing on fat oxidation and postprandial blood glucose control. The first experimental study, Chapter 4, compared two different exercise protocols for estimating the intensity corresponding to maximal fat oxidation (Fatmax) in non-overweight prepubertal children. A 3 min incremental protocol was recommended to provide an estimation of Fatmax using a wide range of intensities in this population. Using this protocol, Chapter 5 demonstrated that Fatmax was higher for treadmill compared with cycling exercise in pre- to early pubertal children. Furthermore, treadmill exercise resulted in higher rates of fat oxidation over a range of absolute and relative intensities and fat oxidation remained high over a wider range of intensities. Therefore, treadmill exercise (walking or slow running) is clearly preferential for promoting fat oxidation in this population. Subsequently, Chapter 6 examined the effect of mixed breakfast meals containing high (HGI) and low (LGI) glycaemic index carbohydrates on blood glucose, plasma insulin and fat oxidation in overweight and non-overweight girls. Breakfast GI did not affect fat oxidation during the postprandial rest period or subsequent exercise. However, the main finding of this study related to blood glucose; the higher blood glucose response following the HGI compared with LGI breakfast was more pronounced in the overweight girls. This suggested a reduced ability to cope with the metabolic demands of HGI breakfast consumption in overweight girls and highlighted that strategies to reduce insulin resistance in this population are required. Consequently, Chapter 7 investigated the effect of treadmill exercise at Fatmax performed 16 h prior to HGI breakfast consumption on blood glucose, plasma insulin and fat oxidation in overweight and non-overweight girls. Fatmax exercise reduced the postprandial insulin response in the non-overweight, but not the overweight, girls while blood glucose was unchanged in both groups. More encouragingly, fat oxidation was increased after exercise in both the overweight and non-overweight girls. Collectively, the four experimental studies within this thesis have demonstrated that treadmill exercise at Fatmax is an effective means of elevating fat oxidation both during and up to 16 h after exercise. When considering postprandial glucose and insulin responses to HGI breakfast consumption, LGI breakfasts should be recommended for overweight girls, whilst acute treadmill exercise at Fatmax can reduce postprandial insulin concentrations in non-overweight girls. Walking or slow running (Fatmax treadmill exercise) and LGI breakfast consumption may be best advocated in combination for promoting fat oxidation and improving postprandial blood glucose control in young people. These two simple lifestyle-related strategies may provide an effective, safe and attractive means for preventing and treating obesity, insulin resistance and related disorders. Key words: exercise, metabolism, substrate oxidation, fat oxidation, glucose, insulin, glycaemic index, overweight, children, adolescents.

Abstract:
Recent research has shown an association between low dietary calcium intake and obesity in adults as well as overweight in young children; however, this relationship has not been investigated in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between inadequate calcium intake and overweight in adolescents. The hypothesis of this study was that there is a negative correlation between dietary calcium intake and overweight in adolescents. The study population consisted of middle school and high school students (n = 102) in a local school district. The gender and ethnic distributions of the sample were as follows: 74% female, 26% male, 63% Caucasian, 16% African-American, 12% Hispanic, and 8% other. Dietary calcium and energy intakes were assessed using a previously validated calcium-focused food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for youths. Calcium intake was also assessed using a single question on daily milk consumption. The FFQ was administered by trained interviewers to groups of three to five students. Body fat was assessed using body mass index for age (BMI-for-age) and sum of triceps and subscapular skinfolds (STS). The mean reported calcium intake was 1,972 ± 912 mg/day, and mean reported energy intake was 3,421 ± 1,710 kcals/day. Reported calcium intake from the FFQ was inflated since approximately 75% reported drinking less than three glasses of milk a day. According to BMI-for-age, 29% were classified as at risk of overweight or overweight. Using STS, 39% were classified as overweight. Chi-square analysis using either method of dietary calcium intake and either method of overweight assessment did not show dependence between categories of calcium intake and level of weight or body fat. This study failed to show a relationship between dietary calcium intake and risk of overweight or overweight in adolescents.

Abstract:
Background: The upward trend in adolescent hypertension is widely attributed to the adolescent overweight and obesity epidemic. Because of their high-risk status, intervention in overweight adolescents with associated comorbidities, such as hypertension, should be considered. The purpose of this study was to examine association between overweight and hypertension in adolescents. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. The articles were obtained from PubMed, Springer Link, and Google Scholar databases, which published from 2006 to 2020. Keywords used “hypertension” AND “adolescents” AND” obesity” AND “risk factor of obesity” AND “cross-sectional” AND “adjusted odds ratio”. The inclusion criteria were full-text, using English language, and reporting Odds ratio. The study population was adolescents. The intervention was overweight with comparison non overweight. The study outcome was hypertension. The articles were reviewed by PRISMA diagram and analyzed by RevMan 5.3. Results: 8 articles from Ethiopia, Spanyol, Canada, Taiwan, Lithuania, United States, and Malaysia were met criteria. The data analysis found low heterogeneity between groups (I2= 40%; p=0.110), so it used fixed effect model. This meta-analysis study reported that overweight increases the risk of hypertension in adolescents (aOR= 3.32; 95% CI= 3.02 to 3.66; p<0.001). Conclusion: Overweight increases the risk of hypertension in adolescents. Keywords: overweight, hypertension, adolescents Correspondence: Fadhila Firmanurulita.

ABSTRACT Background: In Indonesia, obesity prevalence remains high, and North Sulawesi was the highest number of obesity prevalence in 2019, with 30.2% of the 2.5 million population classified as overweight. Eating behavior and sedentary life style contribute the overweight incidents. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting obesity in preschool children in upper Airmadidi, North Sulawesi. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Airmadidi, North Sulawesi. A sample of 64 preschool children was selected for this study. The dependent variable was overweight. The independent variables were consumption of fried foods, diet intake, and sedentary lifestyle. The body mass index was measured by weight scale and microtoise. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results: As many as 17 preschool children were identified as overweight (Mean= 17.65; SD= 0.52) and 16 preschool children were obese (Mean= 19.05; SD= 0.94). There was a positive correlation of overweight in students with fried foods consumption (0.87), diet intake, (0.86), and sedentary life style (0.97). There was a positive correlation of obese in preschool children with fried foods consumption (0.84) and sedentary life style (0.81). Conclusion: Overweight and obese in preschool children are positively correlated with fried foods consumption, diet intake, and sedentary life style.

Abstract:
Background: Childhood obesity is a public health concern worldwide. Information on this condition among children living in poor populations is scarce in Kenya. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity among young children living in informal settlements. Methods: Cross sectional study conducted among 398 mothers / children 24-59 months old dyads. WHO age and sex specific Weight for Height (WFH) Z - score cut off points were used to determine overweight and obesity. Feeding practices were determined based on a 24-hour dietary intake and a 7-day food frequency. Information on physical activity was collected using the Children’s Physical Activity Questionnaire (CPAQ). Predictors of overweight and obesity were determined using Linear Stepwise Regression Analysis (P<0.05). Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the children was 7.1%. The mean daily energy intake was (1602 kilocalories), carbohydrate (378.5g) and fat (27.4 g), higher than the RDI. Frequently consumed foods were cereals, mean 5.8; vegetables mean 5.8 and milk mean 6.3 days per week respectively. Fruit consumption was low; mean 2.9 days per week. Children were frequently involved in sedentary activities and screen time; mean 10.6 hours and 21.2 hours per week respectively. The main predictors of overweight and obesity were screen time (1.30; P<0.001); followed by sedentary activities (0.96; P<0.001) and carbohydrate consumption (0.01; P=0.033). Conclusion: Prevalence of overweight and obesity is high among the children due to the high amount of time spent on sedentary activities, screen time, and poor dietary practices.

Our results indicate that women, the elderly, and couples either married and/or living together are more likely to be obese or overweight. As expected, this is also true for individuals who have chronic illnesses. The analysis also finds that individuals who engage in a sport or in other forms of exercise, even if modest, have lower odds of being overweight or obese. Interestingly, the findings indicate that individuals who benefit from government social safety net programs are less likely to be associated with being overweight or obese. The results of this study have implications for the adjustment of current Surinamese nutritional guidelines as well as the design and implementation of targeted obesity-reduction policies that recognize that being overweight is influenced by various characteristics. Although the results are country-specific, they have the potential to influence action in all countries in the Caribbean that lack policies to address obesity.
