Desfechos maternos e neonatais em servidoras públicas estaduais de São Paulo com idade materna avançada / Maternal and neonatal outcomes in state public servants of São Paulo with advanced maternal age

Objetivo: Caracterizar a população das gestantes em diferentes faixas etárias; avaliar desfechos maternos e neonatais em pacientes com idade materna avançada; determinar a faixa etária a partir da qual os desfechos adversos foram mais prevalentes. Métodos: Parturientes atendidas no Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo entre junho/2019 e maio/2020 foram divididas em três grupos ­ 20 a 34 anos; 35 a 39 anos; 40 anos ou mais ­ e analisadas quanto a diversas variáveis. Resultados: Entre as gestantes do Serviço, 44,2% tinham idade materna avançada. A amostra foi composta por 927 pacientes, a maioria com relacionamento conjugal estável (75,2%) e ensino de nível superior (74,7%). Independentemente do grupo etário, foram observados elevados índices de obesidade (25,9%), sobrepeso (39,7%) e cesariana (76,4%). A frequência de iteratividade, diabetes gestacional e doença hipertensiva específica da gestação foi maior a partir dos 35 anos, e a frequência de hipertensão arterial crônica foi maior a partir dos 40 anos. Neonatos de pacientes com 40 anos ou mais tiveram maiores índices de baixo peso ao nascer, óbito neonatal, Apgar de quinto minuto < 7 e necessidade de reanimação neonatal. Conclusão: Pacientes com idade materna avançada representaram porcentagem expressiva da população e tiveram maior frequência de desfechos adversos. Complicações obstétricas foram mais prevalentes a partir dos 35 anos, com destaque para diabetes gestacional e distúrbios hipertensivos. Resultados neonatais desfavoráveis, como baixo peso ao nascer e óbito neonatal, foram mais prevalentes a partir de 40 anos.

Objective: Featuring the population of pregnant women in different age groups; assessing maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients at advanced maternal age; determining the threshold age for the potential prevalence of adverse outcomes. Methods: Women in labor assisted at Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo between June/2019 and May/2020 were divided into three age groups ­ 20 to 34 years; 35 to 39 years; over 40 years ­, who were assessed for several variables. Results: 44.2% of pregnant women in this Service were at advanced maternal age. The sample counted on 927 patients, most of them declared stable marital relationships (75.2%) and College degree (74,7%). High obesity levels (25.9%), overweight (39.7%) and cesarean delivery (76.4%) were observed, regardless of age group. Maternal request was the main indication for cesarean surgery. Iteration frequency, gestational diabetes and pregnancy-specific hypertensive disease was higher from the age of 35 years, on. Chronical high blood pressure was higher in the age group over 40 years. Newborns from patients older than over 40 years presented higher low weight at birth index, neonatal death, 5th minute Apgar score < 7 and the need of neonatal resuscitation. Conclusion: Patients at advanced maternal age recorded higher obstetric adversity frequency in the age group over 35 years, with emphasis on gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. Unfavorable neonatal outcomes related to low weight at birth and neonatal death were more prevalent in the age group over 40 years.

Overweight/obesity in college students: a systematic review / Excesso de peso/obesidade em estudantes universitários: uma revisão sistemática / Sobrepeso/obesidad en estudiantes universitarios: una revisión sistemática

This article aims to characterize the prevalence and the factors associated with overweight/obesity in college students, through a systematic review. For doing so, the PRISMA protocol has been utilized. Articles about overweight/obesity were selected in college students on the databases of the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science and Scopus, it was considered the publication period from 2014 to 2019. We found 4,740 articles and 28 met the eligibility criteria. The overweight/obesity prevalence in college students varied from 9.5% to 47.0%. The Odds Ratio was the most used association measure (comparison) in studies. As characteristics that favor overweight/obesity, inadequate diet, income, male gender, low level of physical activity and family history of overweight/obesity are mentioned. The factors associated with protection against overweight/obesity were a healthy diet, regular physical activity and screen time. Finally, this review showed that university students are prone to overweight/obesity, as they have behavioral factors related to inadequate diet, low level of physical activity, income, being male, and sociocultural and family aspects due to a history of overweight/obesity. In counterpart, this review argues that healthy diet and physical activity and reduced screen time represent a health maintenance factor against overweight/obesity.

Este artigo tem como objetivo caracterizar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao sobrepeso/obesidade em universitários, por meio de uma revisão sistemática. Para isso, foi utilizado o protocolo PRISMA. Foram selecionados os artigos sobre sobrepeso/obesidade de universitários nas bases de dados da National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science e Scopus, considerou-se o período de publicação de 2014 a 2019. Dos 4.740 artigos encontrados, 28 atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. A prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade em universitários variou de 9,5% a 47,0%. Dentre as medidas de associação (comparação), houve maior utilização do Odds Ratio. Como destaques os fatores associados com o sobrepeso/obesidade, cita-se a dieta inadequada, renda, sexo masculino, baixo nível de atividade física e o histórico familiar de sobrepeso/obesidade. Os fatores associados como proteção ao sobrepeso/obesidade foram a dieta saudável, prática regular de atividade física e o tempo de tela. Por fim, esta revisão mostrou que os universitários são propensos ao sobrepeso/obesidade, por apresentarem fatores comportamentais relacionados a dietas inadequadas, baixo nível de atividade física, renda, ser do sexo masculino e aspectos socioculturais e familiares em função de histórico de sobrepeso/obesidade. Em contrapartida, esta revisão sustenta que a dieta saudável e atividade física e a redução do tempo de tela representam um fator de manutenção da saúde contra o sobrepeso/obesidade.

Los factores asociados a la protección contra el sobrepeso/obesidad fueron la dieta saludable, la actividad física regular y el tiempo de pantalla. Por último, esta revisión mostró que los estudiantes universitarios son propensos al sobrepeso/obesidad, ya que tienen factores de comportamiento relacionados con la dieta inadecuada, el bajo nivel de actividad física, los ingresos, el hecho de ser varones y aspectos socioculturales y familiares debido a una historia de sobrepeso/obesidad. En contrapartida, esta revisión sostiene que la dieta y la actividad física saludables y la reducción del tiempo de pantalla representan un factor de mantenimiento de la salud contra el sobrepeso/obesidad.

Determinantes Sociales de la Salud", "Habitus" y "Embodiment" detrás de un IMC elevado. Un análisis social del actual escenario epidemiológico / Social Determinants of Health", "Habitus" and "Embodiment" behind a high BMI. A social analysis of the current epidemiological scenario

El índice de masa corporal (IMC) elevado marcaría hoy una nueva etapa dentro de la transición epidemiológica, siendo posible develar el origen social del nuevo perfil de morbimortalidad. Esta revisión busca integrar diferentes conceptos teóricos para explicar los mecanismos a través de los cuales lo social se incorpora en el individuo, delimitando su comportamiento en salud y con ello, su estado nutricional. Las estructuras que representan los determinantes sociales de la salud operarían de manera sistemáticamente distinta sobre las personas, generando posiciones más o menos ventajosas dentro del campo de juego sanitario. Este patrón traduce una realidad que se encarna (embodiment) de manera inconsciente y duradera a través de un habitus, favoreciendo prácticas sociales diferenciadas que terminan por construir clases de cuerpos como expresión biológica de la desigualdad. La toma de decisiones estratégicas en salud dependerá de capacidades y libertades individuales primeramente restringidas por aquellos contextos sociales, entendiéndose estos como las causas estructurales de la salud poblacional(AU)

A high body mass index (BMI) would characterize a new stage in the epidemiological transition, making it possible to reveal the social origin of the new morbidity and mortality burden. This review seeks to integrate different theoretical concepts to explain the mechanisms through which the social is incorporated into the individual, delimiting their health behavior and with it, their nutritional status. The structures that represent the social determinants of health would operate systematically differently on different social groups, generating positions that are more or less advantageous in the playing field of health. This pattern translates a reality embodied unconsciously and long-lasting through a habitus, favoring differing social practices that result in the construction of bodily classes as a biological expression of social inequality. Strategic decision-making in health will depend on individual capacities and freedoms, which are firstly restricted by those social contexts, being those understood as the structural causes of population health(AU)

Eficacia de un programa de estilo de vida de salud en Chile / Efficacy of a Lifestyle Health Program in Chile

Introducción: La situación de salud en Chile frente a las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles ha empeorado en los últimos años. Por ello, son necesarios programas de cambio de hábitos que promuevan factores protectores y disminuyan factores de riesgo cardiovascular, y así intervenir desde donde surge el problema. Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia del programa Consultores de Salud Familiar mediante un trabajo de seguimiento de los indicadores de salud medidos. Métodos: Estudio analítico, cuasiexperimental y longitudinal. Se llevó a cabo en las ciudades de Concepción y Temuco, Chile, y se realizaron las mediciones de indicadores biométricos (IMC, peso, porcentaje de grasa corporal, porcentaje de músculo esquelético, nivel de grasa visceral, presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, perímetro de cintura y glucemia) en dos planes de seguimiento (general de un mes y personalizado, dos meses). Resultados: Al comparar ambos planes, se observó que en el plan de seguimiento general existieron diferencias en peso, porcentaje grasa corporal, porcentaje músculo esquelético e IMC (p < 0,01), y en el plan de seguimiento personalizado se observaron diferencias en presión arterial sistólica, perímetro de cintura, peso, porcentaje grasa corporal e IMC (p < 0,01) y glucemia (p < 0,05). No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el plan de seguimiento general y personalizado. Conclusiones: El programa es efectivo en aumentar factores protectores como mantener un peso normal, realizar actividad física regular y consumir al menos 5 porciones de frutas y verduras, consumo de agua, entre otros, lo que permite al participante disminuir los factores de riesgo con independencia del plan de seguimiento(AU)

Introduction: The health situation in Chile with regard to chronic noncommunicable diseases has worsened in recent years. Therefore, programs to change habits that promote protective factors and reduce cardiovascular risk factors are necessary in order to intervene whore the problem arises. Objective: To assess the efficacy of a program with family health advisors through a follow-up study of the measured health indicators. Methods: Analytical, quasiexperimental and longitudinal study carried out in the Chilean cities of Concepción and Temuco. Biometric indicators (BMI, weight, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, visceral fat level, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference and blood glucose) were measured in two follow-up plans (general, one month; and personalized, two months). Results: Upon comparing both plans, it was observed that, in the general follow-up plan, there were differences in weight, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage and BMI (p<0.01), while in the personalized follow-up plan, differences were observed in systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, weight, body fat percentage and BMI (p<0.01), as well as for glycemia (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between the general and personalized follow-up plans. Conclusions: The program is effective in increasing protective factors such as maintaining a normal weight, performing regular physical activity and consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables, water consumption, among others, which allows the participant to decrease risk factors regardless of the follow-up plan(AU)

Regarding the presence of regular and irregular menstrual cycles, irregular patients with PCOS indicated 47.6% and regular patients without PCOS indicated 16.7%, resulting in the acceptance of the null hypothesis. Conclusions: The prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 33%. The most frequent age range was 26 to 35 years. The presence of non-obese PCOS patients predominated. The comparison of patients with irregular menstrual cycles was higher for those with PCOS

Sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenic obesity among community-dwelling and institutionalized older women in Caxias do Sul, Brazil / Sarcopenia, obesidade e obesidade sarcopênica em idosas da comunidade e institucionalizadas de Caxias do Sul, Brasil

INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity are considered risk factors for the health of the elderly, which may cause or worsen the reduction in functional capacity. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity among community-dwelling and institutionalized female elderly in Caxias do Sul, Brazil. METHODS: Observational epidemiological study, with cross-sectional design. 423 elderly women (≥60 years old) institutionalized and community-dwellers, participated in the study. Sarcopenia was identified according to the criteria established by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). The gait speed test estimated low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) by bioimpedance, low handgrip strength using a hand dynamometer, and low physical performance. Obesity was defined as Body Mass Index ≥27.0kg/m² and sarcopenic obesity by the simultaneous occurrence of obesity and sarcopenia. The Chi-Square test was performed, with a 5% significance level. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of obesity was 53.9%. Sarcopenia was observed in 16.3% of the total sample, affecting 7.5% of the elderly in the community and 25.1% in institutions (p≤0.0001). Regarding sarcopenic obesity, 0.9% of the community and 3.8% of institutionalized elderly presented the dysfunction. Non-sarcopenic elderly women had a high prevalence of obesity. In the elderly of both groups, sarcopenia was more frequent in those with advanced age. CONCLUSION: Institutionalized elderly women had a higher prevalence of sarcopenia, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the health of this population and highlighting the need for preventive measures.

INTRODUÇÃO: Sarcopenia, obesidade e obesidade sarcopênica são consideradas fatores de risco à saúde dos idosos, podendo ocasionar ou agravar a redução da capacidade funcional. OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de sarcopenia, obesidade e obesidade sarcopênica entre idosas da comunidade e institucionalizadas de Caxias do Sul/RS. MÉTODOS: Estudo epidemiológico observacional, com delineamento transversal. Participaram do estudo 423 idosas (≥60 anos) institucionalizadas e da comunidade. A sarcopenia foi identificada conforme os critérios estabelecidos pelo Grupo de Trabalho Europeu sobre Sarcopenia em Idosos (EWGSOP), utilizando baixa massa muscular esquelética (MME) por bioimpedância, baixa força de preensão manual em dinamômetro manual e baixo desempenho físico no teste de velocidade de marcha. Identificou-se a obesidade pelo Índice de Massa Corporal ≥27,0kg/m² e a obesidade sarcopênica pelo diagnóstico simultâneo de obesidade e sarcopenia. Realizou-se o teste Qui-Quadrado e regressão de Poisson, com nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: A prevalência geral de obesidade foi de 53,9%. 16,3% da amostra total apresentava sarcopenia, presente em 7,5% das idosas da comunidade e 25,1% das institucionalizadas (p≤0.0001). Referente a obesidade sarcopênica 0,9% da comunidade e 3,8% das institucionalizadas apresentaram a disfunção. Idosas não sarcopênicas apresentaram elevada prevalência de obesidade. Nas idosas de ambos os grupos, a sarcopenia foi mais frequente naquelas com idade avançada. CONCLUSÃO: Idosas institucionalizadas apresentaram maior prevalência de sarcopenia, acentuando a importância em atentar à saúde desta população e evidenciando a necessidade de medidas preventivas.

Consumo de alimentos y actividad física en pacientes hipertensos de un centro de atención primaria / Food Consumption and Physical Activity in Hypertensive Patients from Primary Healthcare

Introducción: Con el estudio de las enfermedades cardiovasculares se ha logrado identificar las variables biológicas y estilos de vida, lo que ha permitido que la hipertensión arterial y sus complicaciones sean prevenibles y controlables. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia del consumo de alimentos y actividad física en pacientes hipertensos del Centro de Atención Primaria III Huaycán, Lima, Perú. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo, transversal y cuantitativo en pacientes hipertensos pertenecientes al programa del adulto mayor. Se recolectaron datos sociodemográficos, antropometría y presión arterial. Se aplicó el cuestionario internacional de actividad física y frecuencia de consumo de alimentos. Se analizaron estadísticas descriptivas, prueba de Chi cuadrado, ANOVA y Rho Spearman en SPSS 23. Resultados: Se evaluaron 570 pacientes, 61,8 por ciento pertenecía al sexo femenino, 39,5 por ciento tenía estudios de secundaria, 65,3 por ciento consumía antihipertensivos regularmente. La media del índice de masa corporal para mujeres fue 28,23±4,66 kg/m2. La presión arterial sistólica para el sexo masculino fue 132,89±13,42 mmHg y para el femenino, de 130,92±13,19 mmHg. El 13,5 por ciento tenía obesidad y cifras tensionales hipertensivas, 71,1 por ciento consumía pollo, 77,2 por ciento pan, cereales, arroz, pastas y trigo todos los días a la semana, mientras que 50,9 por ciento consumía frituras cuatro días por semana; 44,7 por ciento tenía bajo nivel de actividad física y cifras tensionales hipertensivas (p = 0,03). Conclusiones: La alimentación en la población de estudio era diversa, basada en alta ingesta de carbohidratos y grasas. Se evidenció que las personas con menos actividad física tenían mayores cifras tensionales. Es de considerar que la dieta saludable y la actividad física son factores complementarios al tratamiento farmacológico para el control de estos pacientes(AU)

Introduction: The study of cardiovascular diseases has permitted the identification of biological variables and lifestyles, which, in turn, has made hypertension and its complications preventable and controllable. Objective: To determine the frequency of food consumption and physical activity in hypertensive patients in the primary care center III Huaycán, Lima, Peru. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational and quantitative study was carried out with hypertensive patients belonging to the elderly program. Sociodemographic, anthropometric and blood pressure data were collected. The international questionnaire of physical activity and frequency of food consumption was applied. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, ANOVA and Rho Spearman were analyzed using SPSS 23. Results: 570 patients were assessed: 61.8 percent were female, 39.5 percent had high school education, and 65.3 percent consumed antihypertensive drugs regularly. The mean body mass index for women was 28.23±4.66 kg/m2. Systolic blood pressure for the male sex was 132.89±13.42 mmHg and 130.92±13.19 mmHg for the female sex. 13.5 percent had obesity and hypertensive blood pressure levels, 71.1 percent ate chicken, 77.2 percent consumed bread, cereals, rice, pasta and wheat every day of the week, while 50.9 percent consumed fried foods four days a week. 44.7 percent had a low level of physical activity and hypertensive blood pressure levels (P=0.03). Conclusions: The diet in the study population was diverse, based on high intake of carbohydrates and fats. People who did less physical activity evidently showed higher blood pressure numbers. A healthy diet and physical activity are to be considered complementary factors to pharmacological treatment for controlling these patients(AU)

Introducción: La diabetes mellitus y el cáncer son dos problemas de salud que afectan a la población mundial. Considerar previamente el riesgo de desarrollo de cáncer en pacientes con diabetes mellitus puede contribuir de manera significativa a su prevención en este grupo de riesgo. Objetivo: Describir la relación existente entre la diabetes mellitus y el cáncer. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica, entre septiembre de 2019 y marzo de 2020. Se consultaron artículos científicos en Pubmed; la estrategia de búsqueda fue: diabetes mellitus [Mesh] OR diabetes mellitus[TIAB] OR diabetes mellitus, type 2[Mesh] OR type 2 diabetes mellitus[TIAB] OR obesity[Mesh] OR obesity[TIAB] OR hyperglycemia[Mesh] OR hyperglycemia[TIAB]) AND (cancer[Mesh] OR cancer[TIAB] OR neoplasia[Mesh] OR neoplasia[TIAB] OR neoplasias[Mesh] OR neoplasias[TIAB] OR neoplasm[Mesh] OR neoplasm[TIAB] OR tumors[Mesh] OR tumors[TIAB] OR tumor[Mesh] OR tumor[TIAB] OR cancers[Mesh] OR cancers[TIAB]). Se consultaron además artículos de SCOPUS, Scielo, LILACS, Biblioteca Virtual de Salud de Cuba y Google Scholar. Se seleccionaron artículos publicados a partir de 2005, con 63 por ciento de los últimos cinco años (2016‒2020). Se trabajó con 51 publicaciones. Conclusiones: Existe consenso sobre la relación entre la diabetes y el cáncer. La diabetes mellitus es un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de cáncer, fundamentalmente en las localizaciones de páncreas, riñón, colon y recto y cuerpo uterino, ovarios y mama en la mujer; y factor protector para el cáncer de próstata en hombres. Ambas enfermedades comparten factores de riesgo no modificables (edad y sexo), modificables (dieta, actividad física, alcoholismo, entre otros) y condiciones biológicas (hiperglucemia e hiperinsulinemia)(AU)

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus and cancer are two health problems affecting the world population. Prior consideration of the risk for cancer development in patients with diabetes mellitus can contribute significantly to its prevention in this risk group. Objective: To describe the relationship between diabetes mellitus and cancer. Methods: A literature review was carried out between September 2019 and March 2020. Scientific articles were consulted in Pubmed; the search strategy was defined as it follows: diabetes mellitus[Mesh] OR diabetes mellitus[TIAB] OR diabetes mellitus, type 2[Mesh] OR type 2 diabetes mellitus[TIAB] OR obesity[Mesh] OR obesity[TIAB] OR hyperglycemia[Mesh] OR hyperglycemia[TIAB]) AND (cancer[Mesh] OR cancer[TIAB] OR neoplasia[Mesh] OR neoplasia[TIAB] OR neoplasias[Mesh] OR neoplasias[TIAB] OR neoplasm[Mesh] OR neoplasm[TIAB] OR tumors[Mesh] OR tumors[TIAB] OR tumor[Mesh] OR tumor[TIAB] OR cancers[Mesh] OR cancers[TIAB]). Articles from SCOPUS, Scielo, LILACS, the Virtual Health Library of Cuba, and Google Scholar were also reviewed. Articles published from 2005 onwards were selected, with 63 percent from the last five years (2016-2020). Fifty-one publications were analyzed. Conclusions: There is consensus regarding the relationship between diabetes and cancer. Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for the development of cancer, fundamentally in the locations of pancreas, kidney, colon and rectum, as well as the uterine body, ovaries and breast in women; while being a protective factor for prostate cancer in men. Both diseases share nonmodifiable risk factors (age and sex), modifiable risk factors (diet, physical activity, alcoholism, among others) and biological conditions (hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia)(AU)

Overview of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Adults in São Paulo, Brazil: Prevalence and Associated Factors in 2008 and 2015

Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil. Objective To provide population-based data on prevalence and factors associated with CVD risk factors. Methods Individuals aged ≥20 years from two editions of the cross-sectional Health Survey of São Paulo focusing on Nutrition (ISA-Nutrition), performed in Sao Paulo city in 2008 (n=590) and 2015 (n=610), were evaluated for: obesity, central obesity, waist/height ratio, high blood pressure (HBP), dyslipidemia, diabetes, and number of CVD risk factors ≥3. Prevalence was estimated according to complex survey procedures. Factors associated with cardiovascular risk factors were assessed using logistic regression, with statistical significance of p<0.05. Results Obesity and older age were associated with higher odds of all cardiovascular risk factors investigated, except for dyslipidemia. HBP was positively associated with being Black/Brown and negatively associated with being physicaly active in leisure time. Women were more likely to have increased adiposity indicators and three or more cardiovascular risk factors than men. Those with higher education had lower chances of having diabetes, HBP and dyslipidemia, and those with higher income had higher chances of having three or more risk factors. Former smokers had higher odds of diabetes, obesity, and high waist/height ratio, and smokers had higher odds of high non-HDL cholesterol levels. From 2008 to 2015, there was an increase (p<0.001) in the prevalence of diabetes (6.9% to 17.3%), HBP (31.9% to 41.8%), dyslipidemia (51.3% to 67.6%), and number of CVD risk factors ≥3 (18.9% to 34.1%). Conclusion This study shows increasing prevalence of CVD risk factors in adult population in Sao Paulo and may support the definition of target groups and priority actions on CVD prevention and treatment.

Caracterización epidemiológica de pacientes diabéticos e hipertensos en consultorio en Quinta Normal, 2018-2019 / Epidemiological features of patients ascribed to a primary care cardiovascular health program in Santiago, Chile

BACKGROUND: Hypertension and diabetes are highly prevalent conditions in Chilean adults. AIM: To describe the demographic and clinical profiles, risk factors and complications associated with arterial hypertension (AH) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients ascribed to a cardiovascular health program at a public primary health care center in Santiago. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Review of medical records of 583 patients aged 37 to 95 years (56% women). Gender, age, smoking habits, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin levels, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides levels, nutritional status in the last control carried out, and associated cardiovascular complications were recorded. RESULTS: Thirty four percent (201 participants) and 36% (210 participants) had a decompensated DM and AH, respectively. Dyslipidemia was the main associated cardiovascular risk factor. The prevalence of obesity was 43% (249 participants). Twenty percent had chronic kidney disease and 13% had diabetic retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS: These patients have a high frequency of obesity, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease.

Relationship between body mass index and sexual development in Chinese children / 中华儿科杂志

Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and sexual development in Chinese children. Methods: A nationwide multicenter and population-based large cross-sectional study was conducted in 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China from January 2017 to December 2018. Data on sex, age, height, weight were collected, BMI was calculated and sexual characteristics were analyzed. The subjects were divided into four groups based on age, including ages 3-<6 years, 6-<10 years, 10-<15 years and 15-<18 years. Multiple Logistic regression models were used for evaluating the associations of BMI with sexual development in children. Dichotomous Logistic regression was used to compare the differences in the distribution of early and non-early puberty among normal weight, overweight and obese groups. Curves were drawn to analyze the relationship between the percentage of early puberty and BMI distribution in girls and boys at different Tanner stages. Results: A total of 208 179 healthy children (96 471 girls and 111 708 boys) were enrolled in this study. The OR values of B2, B3 and B4+ in overweight girls were 1.72 (95%CI: 1.56-1.89), 3.19 (95%CI: 2.86-3.57), 7.14 (95%CI: 6.33-8.05) and in obese girls were 2.05 (95%CI: 1.88-2.24), 4.98 (95%CI: 4.49-5.53), 11.21 (95%CI: 9.98-12.59), respectively; while the OR values of G2, G3, G4+ in overweight boys were 1.27 (95%CI: 1.17-1.38), 1.52 (95%CI: 1.36-1.70), 1.88 (95%CI: 1.66-2.14) and in obese boys were 1.27 (95%CI: 1.17-1.37), 1.59 (95%CI: 1.43-1.78), and 1.93 (95%CI: 1.70-2.18) (compared with normal weight Tanner 1 group,all P<0.01). Analysis in different age groups found that OR values of obese girls at B2 stage and boys at G2 stage were 2.02 (95%CI: 1.06-3.86) and 2.32 (95%CI:1.05-5.12) in preschool children aged 3-<6 years, respectively (both P<0.05). And in the age group of 6-10 years, overweight girls had a 5.45-fold risk and obese girls had a 12.54-fold risk of B3 stage compared to girls with normal BMI. Compared with normal weight children, the risk of early puberty was 2.67 times higher in overweight girls, 3.63 times higher in obese girls, and 1.22 times higher in overweight boys, 1.35 times higher in obese boys (all P<0.01). Among the children at each Tanner stages, the percentage of early puberty increased with the increase of BMI, from 5.7% (80/1 397), 16.1% (48/299), 13.8% (27/195) to 25.7% (198/769), 65.1% (209/321), 65.4% (157/240) in girls aged 8-<9, 10-<11 and 11-<12 years, and 6.6% (34/513), 18.7% (51/273), 21.6% (57/264) to 13.3% (96/722), 46.4% (140/302), 47.5% (105/221) in boys aged 9-<10, 12-<13 and 13-<14 years, respectively. Conclusions: BMI is positively correlated with sexual development in both Chinese boys and girls, and the correlation is stronger in girls. Obesity is a risk factor for precocious puberty in preschool children aged 3-<6 years, and 6-<10 years of age is a high risk period for early development in obese girls.

The prevalence and associated factors of metabolic syndrome among Tibetan pastoralists in transition from nomadic to settled urban environment / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To study the prevalence and associated factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) among Tibetan pastoralists in transition from high altitude nomadic to settled urbanized environment, especially dietary factors. Methods: The community-based cross-sectional study included 920 Tibetan adults (men 419, women 501). Data were collected using questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and biomarker tests. Questionnaires included socio-economic, lifestyle characteristics and food consumption. Principal component analysis was used to identify dietary patterns. The risk factors of MS and its components were analyzed by logistic regression model. Results: The prevalence rates of MS and its components were 32.8% (MS), 83.7% (decreased HDL-C), 62.1% (central obesity), 36.7% (elevated blood pressure), 11.8% (elevated TG), and 7.9% (elevated blood glucose), respectively. The prevalence of overweight was 31.2%, obesity 30.3%. Multivariate analysis showed smoking was associated factor for both of decreased HDL-C (OR=1.239, 95%CI: 1.025-1.496) and elevated TG (OR=1.277, 95%CI: 1.038-1.571). Alcohol drinking appeared as associated factor of elevated TG (OR=1.426, 95%CI: 1.055-1.927). However, physical activity showed as a protective factor for central obesity, decreased HDL-C, and elevated TG. With the increase of age, the adherence to the urban and western dietary patterns decreased, and that to the pastoral dietary pattern increased. By quintiles of dietary pattern scores, the urban dietary pattern was significantly associated with MS (trend test P=0.016). Conclusions: Tibetan pastoralists had high prevalence of both MS and obesity. Smoking, alcohol drinking, the transition from pastoral dietary pattern to urban dietary pattern and inadequate physical activity served as associated factors for MS and its components.

Relationship between obesity and death by multi-morbidity status in older adults in China / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To explore the relationship between obesity status and death stratified by different multi-morbidity status in older adults in China. Methods: Data for older Chinese adults aged ≥65 years were from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Multi-morbidity patterns based on 13 chronic conditions were explored using exploratory factor analysis. Cox models were used to examine relationships between obesity status and death stratified by disease count and multi-morbidity patterns at baseline, respectively. Besides, obesity status was defined by baseline body mass index and waist circumference. Results: A total of 6 272 participants were included in the analyses. Multi-morbidity including cardio-metabolic, sensory perception and other patterns were identified. For those without any chronic condition, compared with those without central obesity, central obesity was associated with a higher risk for death (HR=1.66, 95%CI:1.04-2.66). For those only with one chronic condition, compared with normal weight, underweight was associated with a higher risk for death (HR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.10-1.80). For those with multi-morbidity, compared with normal weight, underweight increased the risk for death (HR=1.19, 95%CI:1.05-1.34). Compared with those without central obesity, central obesity decreased the risk for death (HR=0.88, 95%CI:0.78-0.99). Conclusions: Relationships between obesity status and death varied by multi-morbidity status in older adults in China. Underweight and non-central obesity were associated with increased risks for death in older adults with only one chronic disease or multi-morbidity. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to multi-morbidity status in the management of obesity in older adults and provide effective targeted body weight management plan.

Relationship between parental reproductive age and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: To explore the role of parental reproductive age on the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring. Methods: The participants were derived from physical examination data of students aged 6-18 years in seven provinces in China, and questionnaire survey was used to collect demographic characteristics and lifestyle information of the students and their parents. A total of 41 567 children with complete data were included. According to the restricted cubic spline curve, maternal reproductive age was divided into three categories, 14-23, 24-28, and 29-38 years, and paternal reproductive age was divided into 14-23, 24-30, and 31-42 years. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between parental reproductive age and parental nutritional status and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring. Results: The mean age of 41 567 children was (10.6±3.2) years, and the mean paternal and maternal age were (27.9±4.4) years and (25.8±4.0) years, respectively. The detection rate of overweight and obesity was 23.4%. After adjusting factors of children diet and behaviors, the OR(95%CI)of offspring overweight and obesity in groups of fathers aged 24-30 years and mothers aged 24-28 years was 1.11 (1.04-1.18) and 1.16 (1.08-1.24), respectively. When none parents were overweight and obese, the difference of obesity risk was not statistically significant. When both parents were overweight and obese, the OR(95%CI)of offspring overweight and obesity in groups of fathers aged 24-30 years and mothers aged 14-28 years old was 1.27 (1.00-1.62) and 1.33 (1.07-1.65) respectively. Conclusion: Parental reproductive age and parental overweight and obesity status may both increase the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring, with a significant interaction effect.

The characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its associated factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its associated factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 385 RA patients [including 72 (18.7%) male and 313 (81.3%) female] who received abdominal sonographic examination from August 2015 to May 2021 at Department of Rheumatology, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital. There were 28 RA patients at 16-29 years old and 32, 80, 121, 99, 25 at 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, ≥ 70 years old, respectively. Demographic and clinical data were collected including age, gender, history of alcohol consumption, disease duration, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, RA disease activity indicators and previous medications. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the associated factors of NAFLD in RA patients. Results: The prevalence of NAFLD was 24.2% (93/385) in RA patients, 26.3% (21/80) in 40-49 age group and 33.1% (40/121) in 50-59 age group. There were 22.1% (85/385) and 3.6% (14/385) RA patients with overweight and obese, in which the prevalence of NAFLD was 45.9% (39/85) and 78.6% (11/14) respectively, which was 2.6 folds and 4.5 folds that of RA patients with normal BMI. Although there was no significant difference of age, gender and RA disease activity indicators between RA patients with or without NAFLD, those with NAFLD had higher proportions of metabolic diseases including obese (11.8% vs. 1.0%), central obesity (47.3% vs. 16.8%), hypertension (45.2% vs. 29.8%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (24.7% vs. 12.0%), consistent with higher levels of total cholesterol [(5.33±1.31) mmol/L vs. (4.73±1.12) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.51±1.08) mmol/L vs. (0.98±0.54) mmol/L] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [(3.37±0.97) mmol/L vs. (2.97±0.78) mmol/L, all P<0.05]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (OR=1.314) and triglyceride (OR=1.809) were the independent factors positively associated with NAFLD in RA patients. Conclusion: NAFLD is a common comorbidity in RA patients, especially in those with middle-aged, overweight or obese, which is associated with high BMI or high triglyceride. Screening and management of NAFLD in RA patients especially those with overweight, obese or dyslipidemia should be emphasized.

The association between bisphenol A exposure and obesity/overweight in children and adolescents: dose-response Meta analysis / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: To explore the relationship between bisphenol A (BPA) exposure and obesity/overweight in children and adolescents through Dose-response Meta analysis. Methods: Articles published up to September 1st 2021 were systematically searched in PubMed, Web of science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, Wanfang databases and VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal by using "bisphenol A" "BPA" "obesity" "weight" "fat""overweight" "body mass index" "BMI" "waist circumference" (both in English and in Chinese) as keywords. Use Stata 15.1 software to calculate the pooled OR (95%CI), perform heterogeneity test, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, publication bias and the exposure-response relationship fitting. Results: A total of 9 English articles were included from 1 948 articles retrieved, including 8 articles from American and 1 article from China. 15 614 children/adolescents and 3 446 obese/overweight cases were further used for Meta-analysis of dose-response relationship. Meta-analysis results showed that there was heterogeneity among the highest dose groups in different studies(I2=52.1%, P=0.033). The random effect model-analysis found that compared with those in the lowest group, the OR(95%CI) for those in the highest group of urine BPA was 1.56(1.18-1.94)for the risk of obesity/overweight in children and adolescents, but there was no linear or nonlinear dose-response relationship. Sensitivity analyses showed that the results were robust, Egger's test(P=0.263) and Begg's test(P=0.348) showed that there was no publication bias. Conclusion: Bisphenol A exposure may increase the risk of obesity/overweight epidemics in children and adolescent.

Investigation on status of dyslipidemia in Chinese females aged 35 years or above / 中华心血管病杂志

Objective: To investigate the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control status of dyslipidemia among females aged ≥35 years old across China. Methods: Participants were selected by stratified multistage random sampling method in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" National Science and Technology Support Project "Survey on the Prevalence of Important Cardiovascular Diseases and Key Technology Research in China" project. This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 17 418 females aged 35 years and over were included in the current study. The basic information such as age, medical history and menopause was collected by questionnaire. The blood lipid parameters were derived from clinical laboratory examinations. The prevalence of dyslipidemia and the rate of awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia were analyzed in females aged 35 years and over. Results: The age of participants was (56.2±13.0) years old, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 33.1% (5 765/17 418). The prevalence rates of high total cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C and high LDL-C were 9.7% (1 695/17 418), 11.1% (1 925/17 418), 10.9% (1 889/17 418) and 7.3% (1 262/17 418), respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia increased with age and the prevalence of dyslipidemia in women who were not married, Han, menarche age>16 years, obesity, central obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension and family history of cardiovascular disease were higher than those without such characteristics (P<0.05). There were 10 432 (59.9%) menopausal females in this cohort and prevalence of dyslipidemia of these participants was 38.8% (4 048/10 432), which was higher than that of non-postmenopausal females (24.6%, 1 717/6 986) (P<0.05). The awareness rates, treatment rates and control rates of dyslipidemia were 33.9% (1 953/5 765), 15.1% (870/5 765) and 2.5% (143/5 765) respectively among females aged 35 years and over in China. Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Chinese females aged 35 years and over is high, and its awareness, treatment, and control rates need to be optimized.

Anti-fat attitudes of Nutrition undergraduates in Brazil toward individuals with obesity / Atitudes negativas em relação à obesidade por estudantes de Nutrição do Brasil

Abstract Obesity-related prejudice and discrimination may have a source in health professionals and students. The objective was to assess anti-fat attitudes among Brazilian nutrition undergraduates who reported demographic data, weight, height and responded the Antifat Attitudes Test (AFAT) and the Brazilian Silhouette Scales to assess body image satisfaction and perception. Total and subscales of AFAT scores were compared among categories using the Mann-Whitney U test. Associations of participants' characteristics with the AFAT were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Total AFAT score was positively associated with male sex (ß: .13; p < .001), age (ß: .06; p < .001), educational institution outside capital (ß: .03; p < .05), private institutions (ß: .08; p < .001); and negatively associated with income (ß: -.05; p = .006), participants who perceived themselves with increased BMI (ß: -.15; p < .001) and those at the third year of course (ß: -.05; p = .041). Subscales scores were positively associated with male sex and age; and negatively associated with those who perceived themselves heavier. They have anti-fat attitudes especially if they were man, older, from private institutions, are at the beginning of the course, and have lower household income - and less weight bias if they perceived with increased BMI.

Resumo O preconceito e a discriminação relacionados à obesidade podem vir de profissionais de saúde e estudantes. O objetivo foi avaliar as atitudes negativas em relação à obesidade entre universitários brasileiros de nutrição que relataram dados demográficos, peso, altura e responderam o Antifat Attitudes Test (AFAT) e a Escala de Silhuetas Brasileira para avaliar a satisfação e percepção da imagem corporal. Os escores total e das subescalas da AFAT foram comparados entre as categorias usando o teste U de Mann-Whitney. As associações das características dos participantes com a AFAT foram analisadas por meio de regressão linear múltipla. A pontuação total da AFAT foi positivamente associada ao sexo masculino (ß: 0,13; p < 0,001), idade (ß: 0,06; p < 0,001), instituições de ensino fora da capital (ß: 0,03; p < 0,05) e instituições privadas (ß: 0,08; p < 0,001); e negativamente associada à renda (ß: -0,05; p = 0,006), participantes que se percebiam acima do IMC real (ß: -0,15; p < 0,001) e do terceiro ano do curso (ß: -0,05; p = 0,041). As pontuações das subescalas foram positivamente associadas com sexo masculino e idade; e negativamente associadas com aqueles que se percebiam mais pesados. Os estudantes tinham atitudes antigordura especialmente se eram homens, mais velhos, de instituições privadas, no começo do curso e baixa renda - e menos se percebiam seu IMC maior.
