Excessive body weight and some concomitant diseases, such as psoriasis, accompany women treated due to infertility by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This study is aimed to assess effect of obesity and psoriasis on quality of egg cells, embryos, course of pregnancy, and state of a newborn after treatment with ICSI. A total of 140 women were included into the study (110 healthy women and 30 with psoriasis). Among healthy women, BMI negatively correlated with total recovery rate, total oocyte score, blastocyst formation rate (BFR) and amount and quality of blastocysts (r < 0, p < 0.001). The relationships were similar in psoriasis, however apart from average blastocyst quality (p = 0.17) and BFR (p = 0.352). In healthy patients, BMI negatively correlated with gestational age at delivery (r = −0.444, p = 0.010) and APGAR (r = −0.481, p = 0.005). An excess of adipose tissue exerts an unfavourable effect on female reproductive functions, especially with a simultaneous burden of psoriasis. Excessive body weight is conducive to development of gestational diabetes and shortens the duration of pregnancy. The burden of psoriasis in combination with excessive body weight has an impact on the risk of occurrence of intrauterine growth restriction of foetus. Overweight and obesity negatively affect the state of a newborn, measured using APGAR scale.

Objective. Overweight is one of the health problems that often occur in children and adolescents throughout the world, both in developed and developing countries. Study results in USA showed yearly increase of overweight prevalence in children aged 2–19 years old. In addition, based on the results by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2010 in United States, the highest percentage of overweight and obesity by age group was found at 12–19 years old (33.6%). Basic Health Research/Riskesdas’s data in 2013 showed the prevalence of overweight in adolescents aged 16–18 years old in Indonesia reached the highest value of 11.5%. Moreover, most teenagers see their body images as a match between self’s and others’ ideal perception. Teenagers with positive body image tend to be more confident and also easier to get along with other people, especially their peers. In this study, researcher aimed to investigate the relationship between teenagers who have excess body weight with body image, whether it had positive or negative impact.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Data collection was done from December 2017 to January 2018. Data collected were anthropometric measurements (weight and height) and the King College London Body Image Questionnaire's filled by participants. From 400 subjects who filled the questionnaires, a total of 350 participants matched the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Chi square test was done as data analysis.Results: Chi-square analysis for excess body weight status in relation to body image scores showed no relationship (p=1,000).Conclusions: There was no significant relationship between excessive body weight and body image.

Summary This study was conducted to examine whether the nuclear to cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio had any influence on the timing of embryo compaction and blastocoel formation, as well as formation rate and quality of blastocyst. First, we produced embryos with increased N/C ratio by removal of approximately one-third of the cytoplasm and with decreased N/C ratio by doubling the oocyte cytoplasm with an enucleated oocyte. The initiation of compaction and cavitation in reduced cytoplasm group was significantly earlier (P < 0.05) compared with the control and doubled cytoplasm groups. The rate of blastocysts in the reduced cytoplasm and doubled cytoplasm groups was significantly lower (P < 0.05) compared with the control group. Blastocyst quality in terms of total cell number in the reduced cytoplasm group was significantly lower (P < 0.05) compared with the doubled cytoplasm group, but not different from the control group. Next, we produced embryos with various N/C ratios by oocyte fusion combined with cytochalasin D treatment. The onset of compaction and cavitation in the 2N/2C group (decreased N/C ratio) was significantly delayed (P < 0.05) or had the tendency to be delayed (P = 0.064), respectively, compared with the control group (2N/1C). A significantly higher rate of blastocyst was observed in the 4N/2C group compared with the 1N/1C group (P < 0.05) but not different from the remaining groups. These results demonstrated that an increase in N/C ratio caused an earlier occurrence of morula compaction and blastocyst formation in both in vitro fertilization (IVF) and parthenogenetically activated pig embryos.

Excessive Body Weight

Abstract Objectives The main aim of this study was to bridge the research gap in the countries of Central Europe using the family dyad approach to examine the associations of parents’ overweight/obesity, physical activity (PA), and screen time (ST) with excessive body weight in their offspring. Methods The cross-sectional study included 1101 parent–child dyads (648/453 mother/father–child aged 4–16) selected by two-stage stratified random sampling with complete data on body weight categories, weekly PA (Yamax pedometer), ST (family logbook) collected over a regular school/working week during the spring and autumn seasons between 2013 and 2019. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify which of parents’ lifestyle indicators were associated with the overweight/obesity of their offspring. Results The mother’s overweight/obesity significantly increases her children’s odds of overweight/obesity. Concerning fathers, active participation in organized leisure-time PA and reaching 10,000 steps per day significantly reduce the odds of overweight/obesity in their children and adolescent offspring. Conclusions The cumulative effect of parental participation in organized leisure-time PA with their own family-related PA can be a natural means of preventing the development of overweight/obesity in their offspring.

Obesity and overweight are classified as lifestyle diseases of the 21st century. Their universality justifies the need to identify the factors which contribute to excessive body weight. The aim of the paper is to determine the scale of the overweight and obesity phenomenon in European countries and, as mentioned above, to identify the factors contributing to it. The research examined socio-economic factors, fruit and vegetable consumption, sugar and fat consumption, smoking tobacco and alcohol consumption, length of sleep and time spent in front of the TV, energy dose supplied by food and the level of physical activity. The study uses the BMI (body mass index), which is the elementary determiner of the regularity or irregularity of body weight. The analysis is based on the data from the OECD bases for 2013–2015 and from Eurostat for 2014. The applied Spearman correlation revealed statistically significant, strong dependencies among the explanatory variables (i.e. between the consumption of fruit per capita and the consumption of fat per capita, between the income per capita and regular sports activity, between the fat consumption per capita and the level of education, and between the level of education and the consumption of fruit and vegetables per capita). The results of the factor analysis demonstrated that in European countries, the phenomenon of excessive body weight is caused by lack of physical activity.

Introduction: Childhood obesity adversely affects the development of the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of the study was to find out correlation between excessive body weight, the knee misalignment and the height of foot arches in the 9-11-year-olds. Materials and methods: A total of 160 children from randomly selected schools participated in the study in which their body weight, height and the body fat percentage (BFP) were measured, and BMI and foot arching and knee alignment were observed. Genu valgum was assessed when the intermalleolar distance in the standing position with the knees in contact was larger than 5 cm. The height of the longitudinal arch of each foot was measured by Arch Index. Pes planus was diagnosed when the area of the middle third of the footprint was bigger than 28% of the entire footprint area. Results: Excessive body weight was discovered in almost 27% of participants. Genu valgum was typical of 5% of children with healthy body weight and almost of 56% of children with overweight and obesity. The incidence of pes planus was also greater in overweight and obese participants and it was more prevalent in the left foot. Participants with healthy body weight more often had hollow feet. Conclusions: More than a quarter of 9-11-year-old participants were overweight or obese. Excessive body weight increased the risk of developing by them genu valgum and pes planus. Physical activity recommended to obese children should consist of body posture correction exercises including improvement of lower extremities alignment.

Abstract Background Hypertension is a main yet potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. It is the most widespread disease of the 21st century, especially in highly industrialized societies. It is estimated that hypertension affects about 25% of the adult population in the world and reaches a ceiling of 32% and another 30% of the adult population is characterized by pressure values classified as pre-hypertensive. The prevalence of hypertension is geographically diverse and closely depends on economic and socio-cultural conditions. The relationship between hypertension and obesity is the subject of many studies that explicitly confirm the occurrence of positive coincidence. Methods The study was observational-retrospective, and included a group of 17 282 men, aged 19, from the southeastern region in Poland. All subjects met the qualifications for compulsory military service in 2017. We analyzed selected data obtained from the records of the Ministry of National Defense. Results Hypertension was found at 0.6%, weak body structure at 0.8% and obesity co-existing with cardiorespiratory insufficiency has been reported 2.6% of respondents. The underweight concerned almost 7%, and the overweight and obesity of 25% of conscripts. The vast majority of people with hypertension were characterized by excessive body weight (74.8%), mainly overweight. Conclusions Hypertension was seen in a negligible percentage of males studied and was significantly associated with an increase in BMI, particularly with regards to being overweight. Excessive body weight significantly more often affected people with a higher degree obesity co-existing with cardiorespiratory insufficiency, affecting of the system and men with hypertension. Excessive body weight was seen in a considerable percentage of males studied and was significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension and obesity co-existing with cardiorespiratory insufficiency, but not affecting of the system. Key messages The assumed observation contribute to the presentation of selected indicators of health status and their relationship with hypertension in a large population of 19-year-old men. Data obtained this way, enrich the state of knowledge about the growing problem of hypertension and they can be a valuable ground for developing educational and preventive programs for Public Health.

Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of excessive body weight and eating habits among students of 3th and 4th periods of elementary school. Methods: 202 children (87 girls and 115 boys) in four schools (two publics, n=104 and two privates, n=98) from Barra do Garças (MT), Brazil were evaluated. A food frequency and physical activity questionnaire was applied. After measurement of height, weight and body mass index, the body fat (%) was estimated using a bioimpedance scale. The estimation of frequencies and the statistical analysis were performed by the epitools® program. Results: Prevalence of both overweight and obesity were higher in private schools compared to the public ones. The prevalence of overweight ranged from 18.92% to 32.43%, whereas the obesity prevalence varied from 18.2% to 36.4%. Body fat distribution was highest among girls than boys. The daily dietary intake of vegetables, legumes and fruits reached only 57.4%, 50% and 43.6%, respectively. 36.6% of the students did not drink or eat milk and its derivatives. The dietary intake of fatty foods and soft drinks 5 to 7 days per week were high, reaching 24.26% and 27.23%, respectively. The weekly consumption of sweeties and candies was excessive, reaching 39.11% for 5 to7 days. Conclusions: obesity was higher among students from private schools and dietary intake of vegetable foods was inadequate, wherea
