Purpose: To investigate the co-relation of sitting-rising test scores with measures of lower extremity strength, power, and body compositions (body mass index and waist-hip ratio). Furthermore, to find out the level of physical activity in the targeted population. Methods: Participants aged between 18-35 years (n=131) of both genders were recruited in this study. Along with performing sitting-rising test, anthropometric and demographic data were collected to calculate body mass index and waist-hip ratio. Lower extremity strength was assessed using a 30-second chair stand test, and power was assessed using a triple hop test for distance. Also, the Rapid Assessment Disuse Index questionnaire was given to dividing the population into two groups depending on whether they are involved more in physical activity or not. Results: Sitting-rising test scores showed a positive correlation with lower extremity strength and power, negative correlation with body mass index, and no co-relation with waist-hip ratio. Further, 76 participants out of 131 were less physical activity and had more sedentary behavior. Conclusion: Sitting-rising from the floor in young adults is influenced by the strength and power of lower extremities and body mass index except for the waist-hip ratio. Keywords: Sitting-rising test; Lower extremity strength and power; RADI score.

Serum Aminotransferases

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing with the rise in obesity and metabolic risk factors like diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetics are highly prone to deranged liver function test. Increase in serum aminotransferases level is an indicator of hepatocellular injury. The aim of this study is to correlate serum aminotransferases level with anthropometric measurements, diabetic retinopathy and types of treatment received in diabetics. A total of 236 patients (142 females) of age more than 40 years with type 2 diabetes attending Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital between February 2016 and January 2017 were included in this cross-sectional observational study. Blood samples were sent for fasting blood sugar, HbA1c and serum aminotransferases tests. Body mass index and waist hip ratio were measured as per standard protocol. Fundoscopy was done in all patients. Pearson and independent t-test were applied to see the correlation between the variables. The mean HbA1c was 8.01± 2.08. In the sub group analysis, serum aminotransferases level was significantly high in patients with poor glycemic control, higher body mass index and waist hip ratio (p value < 0.001). Patients with diabetic retinopathy also had higher serum aminotransferases level (p value < 0.001). Pearson correlation between HbA1c with serum alanine aminotransferases level was significant (r=0.76, n=5, p value < 0.001).

*** Clinical and anthropometric profile of elderly outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ***AIMS: to evaluate the clinical and anthropometric profile of elderly diabetic outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on male and female elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at the nutrition/diabetes outpatient clinic of the Center for Senior Health (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil). Data on gender, age, time of diagnosis of diabetes, body mass index, physical activity, and concomitant chronic non-communicable diseases were retrieved from the clinic’s database and from patient files.RESULTS: A total of 244 elderly patients were assessed, 82.4% of whom were female. Mean age was 69.7±7 years, with a predominance of individuals aged between 60 and 74 years (76.2%). One hundred forty-seven patients (60.2%) had been diagnosed with diabetes for less than 5 years, 183 (75%) had systemic hypertension, 115 (47.1%) had dyslipidemia, and 129 (52.9%) lived a sedentary lifestyle. According to body mass index evaluation, 147 patients (60.2%) were overweight. By evaluating the association of demographic, clinical, and anthropometric variables and physical activity with overweight, there was a statistically significant association only with hypertension.CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension, overweight, and sedentary lifestyle were highly frequent in this sample of elderly diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, there was an association between overweight and hypertension. Healthcare strategies need to be developed to stimulate lifestyle changes among elderly patients in order to prevent and control the complications related to these morbidities.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to analyse the use of dietary supplements to support weight reduction (DSSWR) in adults according to sociodemographic background, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), body fat percentage (%BF) and level of physical activity (PA). Method Participants (n = 1130) were recruited from a region of Poland with a high rate of adult overweight and obesity. Based on anthropometric data, BMI and WHR were calculated. %BF was assessed using a bioimpedance method. To examine the association between DSSWR use and sociodemographic factors, BMI, WHR, %BF and PA multiple logistic regression were conducted. Results The rate of DSSWR use in the group studied was high (69.5%). A higher proportion of women, individuals aged 18–35 years, those who had completed higher education, those who did not report financial status as “poor”, with a BMI < 18.5, normal %BF and individuals with a high level of PA used DSSWR. In complete case analysis (n = 1108), primarily financial status reported as “good” (OR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.69, 2.81) or “hard to say” (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.86, 3.12) (vs. “poor”) and female sex (OR = 2.59, 95% CI: 2.17, 3.08) were associated with DSSWR intake. Conclusion It seems that primarily financial status and sex, but also age, education, and level of PA, have significance in DSSWR use in adults and may be considered when developing appropriate strategies for body weight management and health promotion.
