There are no documented studies on socioeconomic status (SES) and body mass index (BMI) among Mauritian adolescents. This study aimed to determine the relationships between SES and BMI among adolescents with focus on diet quality and physical activity (PA) as mediating factors. Mauritian school adolescents (; 96 males, 104 females) were recruited using multistage sampling. Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire. Height and weight were measured and used to calculate BMI (categorised into underweight, healthy-weight, overweight, obese). Chi-square test, Pearson correlation, and Independent samples -test were used for statistical analysis. A negative association was found between SES and BMI (%, ). Diet quality, time spent in PA at school (), but not total PA (), were significantly associated with high SES. Poor diet quality and less time spent in PA at school could explain BMI discrepancies between SES groups.

Introduction: Dietary factors or eating patterns can cause patients to experience anorexia so that it affects the body mass index measured by CKD patients (Susetyowati, 2014). Therefore, it is important to understand the research when studying the relationship between the diet of CKD patients and the body mass index of patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Dik Pusdikkes Hospital in 2021. Objective: This study aims to determine how big the influence of the relationship between the diet of CKD patients and the body mass index of patients undergoing hemodialysis to improve the quality of life of CKD patients. Method: The type of research used is quantitative research with a correlational design to determine whether there is a relationship between variables using experimental research. The population in this study that became the study population were all hemodialysis patients at the AD Pusdikkes Hospital. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The research instrument used is a questionnaire. The questionnaire is not standardized so that validity and reliability tests are carried out. In this study, the analysis used the chi-square test. Results: the results of the chi-square test showed that the p-value (0.028) <0.05 then Ha was accepted or there was a relationship between the diet of CKD patients and the patient's body mass index. Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis of the relationship between the evaluation of hemodialysis patients at RS Dik Pusdikkes Kodiklat AD, 9 respondents had a poor diet with a body mass index in the lean category of 6 people (66.7%) and the normal category of 3 people (33.3%). And 11 respondents have a good diet relationship with body mass index in the thin category of 2 people (40.0%) and the normal category of 12 people (60%).

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between body mass index, dental caries (DMFT), untreated dental caries (PUFA) and socioeconomic status in 12 to 15 year old school children. Material and methods: The study sample consisted of 800 children aged 12 to 15 years, who were selected from 8 schools located in the district-Panchkula (Haryana). Intraoral examination was done for assessment of dental caries by using DMFT index (WHO, 2013).The clinical manifestations of untreated dental caries were assessed visually by using the PUFA index (2010). Socioeconomic status of children was assessed by using Kuppuswami’s socioeconomic scale 2016. After one week, anthropometric measurements of children were taken to calculate the body mass index (BMI) of children. Results: Among 800 school children, 503 (62.9%) children had dental caries. The body mass index (BMI) of children was weakly correlated with DMFT (r=0.285) and PUFA (r=0.109) whereas average correlation was found between BMI and SES (r= 0.424). On applying chi-square test, a statistical significant correlation was found between BMI and DMFT (p<0.01), BMI and PUFA (p<0.01) and BMI and SES (p<0.01). SES of children was weakly correlated with DMFT (r= 0.216) but no correlation was found between SES and PUFA (r=0.052, p=0.145). Conclusion: The study concluded that a significant but weak positive correlation was seen between dental caries and BMI. A significantly positive correlation was found between PUFA and BMI. The severity of dental caries increased with increase in BMI. No correlation was found between PUFA and SES.

Introduction and Aim: Nutritional state of the mother before and during pregnancy is one of the important determinants along with factors like pre-pregnancy BMI, weight gain during pregnancy and gestational age which determines pregnancy outcome. Adequate gestational weight gain contributes for better pregnancy outcomes in both mother and infants for short- and long-term health. Materials and Methods: This is an observational study conducted retrospectively over a year comprised 300 pregnant subjects in their second trimester. Incidence of anemia, preterm labour, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission were compared in women with various Body Mass index (BMI). Analysis of the data was done using SPSS version 13 using chi square test and p ? 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 300 subjects, 79 developed anemia, among these 64(81%) were in the underweight category. 49 cases had a preterm delivery, out of these 49 cases, about 37(75.5%) belonged to the underweight BMI category. 39 cases delivered an intra-uterine growth retarded baby. Out of these 39 cases, about 25 (64.1%) belonged to the underweight BMI category. 56 neonates required intensive care unit (NICU) admission, of which 41 (73.2%) neonates born for underweight BMI mothers. Conclusion: The high proportions of underweight pregnancies in this study reflects the poor nutritional status. Adverse effects of maternal low body mass index target the fetus. Adequate weight gain of pregnant woman is an extremely important factor for the fetal outcome.

Background and Objectives: Estimation of dental age is based upon the rate of development and calcification of tooth buds and their progressive sequence of eruption in the oral cavity. The tooth calcification provides a valuable indicator of dental age and serves as an index of the maturation of the child. The aim of this study is to determine whether Body Mass Index (BMI) has association with dental maturation. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study design was applied for the present study, 383 school children were participated in this study which nominated from Erbil city. For the sample to be representative the city was divided in to six geographic areas according to the municipalities, the samples randomly selected school children of 10 to 14 years old from both genders. The height and the weight of each participant had been recorded in the college of dentistry / Hawler Medical University in order to calculate the body mass index of the following the guidelines of centers of disease control (CDC) , at the same time an orthopantomography radiograph had been used to investigate the stage of the dental maturation using the Demirjian method, finally, the relationship between BMI and dental maturation were investigated using chi square test with P value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant difference. Result: there was a statistically significant relationship between dental maturation and BMI. The majority (93.6%) of samples with under-mature dentition were under-weight at the same time. The vast majority (96%) of samples with mature dentition had normal BMI. In the same manner, majority (91.7%) of samples with over mature dentition were over-weight too. Chi square test was used to find out the association and P-value was 0.001 Conclusion: In conclusion, normal weight students have normal dental maturation, underweight students have under dental maturation and overweight or obese students have over dental maturation. Keywords: body mass index, Demirjian, Orthopantomography.

This study aimed to identify the most prevalent chronic diseases among retired residents in the city of Rio Claro-SP and possible associations of work performed during their lives (manual or intellectual) with physical inactivity, body mass index, diseases, and expenses with health services. This is a cross-sectional population study with retired individuals, performed at two moments (2014 and 2018). Instruments used for data collection: Survey of Referred Morbidities; Questionnaire developed by Pimenta (2006); International Physical Activity Questionnaire; Body mass index The statistical tests applied were the Chi-square test, by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney with the Bonferroni adjustment. The sample of the present study was composed of 171 retirees, with the highest prevalence of married individuals (81.3%), with secondary education incomplete (53.8%), economic class "C" (49.1%), manual work performed throughout life (54.4%), obese (49.1%), and sedentary (33.9%). The association analysis demonstrated that the majority of the sample who performed manual work throughout life was associated with hypertension (p= 0.01) and Osteoarthritis (p 0.01). It is concluded that manual labor seems to present a greater risk for the development of chronic diseases

Background: The incidence of low back pain in Indonesia is still relatively high with an injury prevalence of 6.5%. One of the contributor of the high incidence rate is caused by occupational factors such as works that are repetitive in nature, that imposes forced power, and static work. One of the job that poses this risk is batik craftsmen. It is estimated that there are 15.000 batik craftsmen who are actively working in Central Java Province. The aim of  study was to determine association between individual factors and incidence of low back pain in batik craftsman. Methods: This study is a quantitative study with cross-sectional design, conducted in February 2021 in Central Sokaraja Village. Sample collection was carried out with total sampling method with a total sample of 60 respondents. Data analysis technique used in this study was Chi square test Results: The result of Chi square test showed that there is a significant association between work period and low back pain (p=0.001), there is a significant association between sitting duration and low back pain (p=0.028), there is a significant association between work load and low back pain (p=0.002), there is no significant association between gender and low back pain (p=0.081), there is no significant association between age and low back pain (p=0.632), and there is no significant association between body mass index and low back pain (p=0.807). From multivariate analysis, it was found that there is a significant association between work period and low back pain (p=0.026). Conclusion: There is a significant association between work period, sitting duration, and work load with low back pain, while there is no significant association between age, gender and body mass index (BMI) with low back pain.

ObjectiveTo assess the association between diet quality and intake of specific foods with disability and symptom severity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsIn 2015, participants in the North American Research Committee on MS (NARCOMS) Registry completed a dietary screener questionnaire that estimates intake of fruits, vegetables and legumes, whole grains, added sugars, and red/processed meats. We constructed an overall diet quality score for each individual based on these food groups; higher scores denoted a healthier diet. We assessed the association between diet quality and disability status as measured using Patient-Determined Disease Steps (PDDS) and symptom severity using proportional odds models, adjusting for age, sex, income, body mass index, smoking status, and disease duration. We assessed whether a composite healthy lifestyle measure, a healthier diet, healthy weight (body mass index <25), routine physical activity, and abstinence from smoking was associated with symptom severity.ResultsOf the 7,639 (68%) responders, 6,989 reported physician-diagnosed MS and provided dietary information. Participants with diet quality scores in the highest quintile had lower levels of disability (PDDS; proportional odds ratio [OR] for Q5 vs Q1 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69–0.93) and lower depression scores (proportional OR for Q5 vs Q1 0.82; 95% CI 0.70–0.97). Individuals reporting a composite healthy lifestyle had lower odds of reporting severe fatigue (0.69; 95% CI 0.59–0.81), depression (0.53; 95% CI 0.43–0.66), pain (0.56; 95% CI 0.48–0.67), or cognitive impairment (0.67; 95% CI 0.55–0.79).ConclusionsOur large cross-sectional survey suggests a healthy diet and a composite healthy lifestyle are associated with lesser disability and symptom burden in MS.

The Impact

Poor health and diet quality are associated with living within a low socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to investigate the impact of SES on diet quality and body mass index in Latin America. Data from the “Latin American Health and Nutrition Study (ELANS)”, a multi-country, population-based study of 9218 participants, were used. Dietary intake was collected through two 24 h recalls from participants of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Diet quality was assessed using the dietary quality score (DQS), the dietary diversity score (DDS) and the nutrients adequacy ratio (NAR). Chi-squared and multivariate-variance analyses were used to estimate possible associations. We found that participants from the low SES consumed less fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fiber and fish and seafood and more legumes than those in the high SES. Also, the diet quality level, assessed by DQS, DDS and NAR mean, increased with SES. Women in the low SES also showed a larger prevalence of abdominal obesity and excess weight than those in the middle and high SES. Health policies and behavioral-change strategies should be addressed to reduce the impact of socioeconomic factors on diet quality and body weight, with gender as an additional level of vulnerability.
