Obesity affects children’s physical and psychological well-being. In this study we investigated the associations of obesity with physical activity, socioeconomic factors, and lifestyle among Saudi children and adolescents. A stratified sample of 729 school children and 794 adolescent students was recruited. Waist circumference and body mass index were used to categorize the participants as obese and non-obese, and a structured mixed questionnaire was used to collect socioeconomic, physical activity, and lifestyle data. The results revealed that obese adolescent males (33.5%) were significantly more common than obese adolescent females (13.6%, P < 0.001). Body mass index-based and waist circumference-based obesity was significantly more common in private schools compared to public schools among school children and adolescents (P = 0.013 and P = 0.002, respectively). Student obesity was associated with higher parental education, especially among the school children (P = 0.006). Among adolescents, obesity was strongly associated with family income (P = 0.002) and time spent watching television (P = 0.004). Non-obese children and adolescents were considered subjectively more active than their obese counterparts (P < 0.001 and P = 0.011, respectively). In conclusion, obesity was common among school children and adolescents, and was associated with private schooling, adolescent male sex, parental education, and family income. Physical inactivity and time spent watching television were important risk factors for obesity among Saudi school children and adolescents.

Abstract The β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) is expressed mainly in visceral adipose tissue and is thought to contribute to lipolysis and the delivery of free fatty acids to the portal vein. Although many studies have examined the relationship between the Trp64Arg mutation of ADRB3 and obesity, the results have been inconsistent. We examined the cross-sectional relationship of ADRB3 variants with indexes of obesity, and their longitudinal changes over 10 yr, in men and women, aged 40–69 yr, who were randomly selected from the Japanese rural population. The study considered both dietary energy intake and physical activity levels. Among the 746 participants, the genotype frequencies of the Trp64Trp, Trp64Arg, and Arg64Arg variants were 483, 224, and 39, respectively. The cross-sectional analysis showed no significant differences in height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure, serum total and high density lipoprotein cholesterols, and hemoglobin A1c among the genotype groups even after adjustments for gender, age, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, and energy intake. No significant differences in the weight changes between the genotype groups were evident in the longitudinal analysis. We conclude that the Trp64Arg mutation of ADRB3 has little or no influence on either body weight or body mass index in the general Japanese population.

We investigated if cardiorespiratory fitness modifies the association between obesity and the level of physical activity. In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from 746 adults, free of diagnosed cardiorespiratory or locomotor diseases. We analyzed sociodemographic and clinical information, cardiovascular risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness, anthropometry, and level of physical activity (time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity). Those that spent more time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were younger, male, with lower body mass index, without self-reported arterial blood hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia, non-smokers, and presented with better cardiorespiratory fitness. The linear regression coefficients showed that cardiorespiratory fitness changes according to the level of physical activity and body mass index (obesity in low cardiorespiratory fitness: β 6.0, p = 0.213, 95%CI -3.5 to 15.6; in intermediate cardiorespiratory fitness: β 6.3, p = 0.114, 95%CI -1.5 to 14.2; in high cardiorespiratory fitness: β -6.3, p = 0.304, 95%CI -18.4 to 5.8). This effect modification trend was present after adjusting the model by covariates. Cardiorespiratory fitness potentially modifies the association between body mass index and the level of physical activity. It should be routinely assessed to identify persons with overweight/ obesity with low/ intermediate cardiorespiratory fitness to prescribe individualized training.

Mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Kepelatihan Olahraga Fakultas Ilmu Keolahragaan dipersiapkan menjadi pelatih yang kompeten. Salah satu kompetensi yang diperlukan oleh pelatih adalah pemahaman dan keterampilan dalam pengukuran tingkat aktivitas fisik, status kecukupan energi dan status antropometrik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan memahami pengukuran level aktivitas fisik, status kecukupan energy, dan status antropometrik mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Kepelatihan Olahraga FIK UNY. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasi cross sectional pada 30 mahasiswa Program Stusi Pendidikan Kepelatihan Olahraga FIK UNY yang telah menempuh mata kuliah Anatomi. Pengukuran tingkat pemahaman dilaksanakan dengan metode tes. Level aktivitas fisik diukur dengan kuesioner IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), status kecukupan energi diukur dengan membagi antara asupan kalori dibagi dengan kebutuhan kalori, dan status antropometris dinilai dengan menggunakan rumus BMI (body mass index) dansomatotype berdasarkan Health Charter Manual. Data diolah secara deskriptif dan korelatif menggunakan analisis Korelasi Pearson untuk melihat hubungan antara tingkat pemahaman dan status level aktivitas fisik, status kecukupan energy, dan status antropometrik dengan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada semua mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Kepelatihan Olahraga FIK UNY mempunyai level aktivitas fisik yang baik (skor IPAQ rata-rata 7248,13 ± 2420,58 METS), dan status kecukupan energi yang baik pula (rata-rata kecukupan energi sebesar 96,62 ± 19,81%). Di sisi lain, status gizi pada 90 % mahasiswa menunjukkan kriteria yang normal. Uji Korelasi Pearson menunjukkan adanya korelasi positif yang sangat kuat antara tingkat pemahaman level aktivitas fisik dan level aktivitas fisik (korelasi 0.902 dan p < 0,05), namun tidak terbukti adanya korelasi yang signifikan (p > 0,05) antara tingkat pemahaman dan status kecukupan energi dan status gizi yang secara berurutan didapatkan nilai korelasi sebesar 0,27 dan 0,048.Kata Kunci: level aktivitas fisik, status kecukupan energi, status antropometrik
