Abstract:
Abstract Background This study evaluated the association of frequency of potato and rice consumption with cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents. Methods This nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted on 14,400 children and adolescents. Fasting blood was obtained from a sub-sample of 4200 randomly selected students. Physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted under standard protocols. Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) was defined based on the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for the pediatric age group. The self-reported frequency consumption of white rice and potato was reported on a daily or non-daily basis. Results The participation rate for the whole study and for blood sampling were 99 and 91.5%, respectively. Overall, 49.4% of the participants were girls while 50.6% were boys. The frequency of daily consumption of white rice and potato was 84.4 and 21.3%, respectively. In the multivariable linear regression model, daily consumption of potato increased body mass index (β: 0.05, SE: 0.20, p = 0.010), waist (β: 0.63, SE: 0.24, p = 0.008), and hip circumferences (β: 0.62, SE: 0.26, p = 0.019). Moreover, in the multivariable logistic regression, daily consumption of potato was significantly associated with an increased risk of overweight (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04–1.39, P = 0.012). The potato and rice consumption had no statistically significant association with other cardiometabolic risk factors. Conclusions Daily consumption of potato was significantly associated with higher anthropometric measures, whereas rice consumption had no statistically significant association with cardiometabolic risk factors. Future research to examine the possible obesogenic effects of intake of potato on children and adolescents is recommended.Keywords:

Purpose: Obesity and overweight are associated with variety of conditions detrimental to health, wellbeing and longevity. Waist circumference and waist to hip ratio are indicators of risk of central adiposity while body mass index is an indicator of overall risk of obesity. Body mass index has been traditionally used as a standard for determining overweight and obesity. This study was designed to determine the relationship between waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and body mass index among female undergraduates of a Nigerian University. Also prevalence of obesity based on waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and body mass index was explored. Methods: Three hundred and sixty four apparently healthy subjects were recruited for the study using a cross-sectional simple random sampling technique. Waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and body mass index were determined using standard methods. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the physical characteristics of the participants. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between waist circumference, waist to hip and body mass index. Results: The mean age, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and body mass index of the participants were 22.5 (±2.20) years, 79.36 (±10.4) cm, 0.81 (±0.06), and 22.48 (±4.50) kg/m2 respectively. The prevalence of obesity based on body mass index, waist circumference and waist to hip ratio was found to be 6.3%, 17.6% and 25.5% respectively. Significant relationship was found between waist circumference and body mass index (r = 0.81; p< 0.001), and between waist to hip ratio and body mass index (r = 0.25; p< 0.001). Conclusions: Body mass index was related to waist circumference, as well as to waist to hip ratio. The prevalence of obesity based on waist to hip ratio was highest among female undergraduates in a Nigerian university. Awareness on the importance of waist to hip ratio as indicator of risk of obesity should be created among female undergraduates in Nigerian Universities and by extension among the women population in general.

Overweight and obesity as well as associated metabolic disorders belong to the most important risk factors. During the exhibition 'Heureka' in Zurich data on body weight and size as well as on other clinical and biochemical parameters were collected by a questionnaire. Age- and gender-specific prevalence rates were calculated. Between 10 and 41% of the visitors showed a body-mass index of > or = 25 kg/m2, as a function of age and gender -0.7 to 6.2% showed a body-mass index of > or = 30 kg/m2. The most important increase in body weight was found in the age groups between 20 and 40 years. The presented epidemiologic data show that overweight is common in Switzerland, too. Prevention of overweight is still one of the most rational medical strategies and should be intensified in the age group between 20 and 40.

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between age and obesity, to assess waist circumference and obesity. This type of quantitative research uses a cross-sectional design. The sample is 161 respondents. Data was collected using a questionnaire and measuring body mass index. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and linear regression analysis. The results showed that there were 144 respondents (89.4%) in the 18 - 25 year age category, 13 respondents (8.1%) for Body Mass Index for the first obesity category, 12 respondents (7.5%) for obesity II. There is a relationship between age and waist circumference with a p-value of 0.0001, there is a relationship between age and body mass index with a p-value of 0.0001. There is a relationship between age and body weight with a p-value of 0.001. Age is a risk factor for waist circumference, BMI, weight and hearing. As you get older, your waist circumference increases, your BMI increases, your weight increases and your age decreases your hearing ability. An obesity risk factor is age

Objective: This study was carried out on different populations of genetic and physical conditions to confer the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and the body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC).And on this basis,this study observes the impact of the changes of FTO gene polymorphism of people with different levels of physical activity on the body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC),so as to understand the interaction of genetic and environmental effects on physical condition,and provide theoretical guidance of developing physical health research.Method: The FTO variant rs1121980 was genotyped in 20,774 participants(39~79 y of age) from the Han population in Northern China,an ethnically homogeneous population based cohort physical activity(PA) was assessed with a validated self reported questionnaire.The interaction between rs1121980 and PA on body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC) was examined by including the interaction term in mixed effect models.Result: It confirmed that the risk(T) allele of rs1121980 was significantly associated with BMI and WC.The PA level attenuated the effect of rs1121980 on body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC);Conclusion: the results showed that PA attenuates the effect of the FTO rs1121980 genotype on body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC).This observation has important public health implications because it shown that a genetic susceptibility to obesity induced by FTO variation can be overcome,at least to some extent,by adopting a physically active lifestyle.

Abstract Body mass index (BMI) is typically used to define overweight and obesity. However, without waist circumference information, BMI may misclassify as overweight or obese. Therefore, we proposed a new index based on BMI. We developed a New Body Mass Index (NBMI) by adding waist circumference (WC) to BMI, which combined BMI and WC. That is, it also combined weight-for-height and waist-to-height ratios. The formula is: NBMI = BMI × WC (m) = WT (kg) / HT (m 2 ) × WC (m) = WT (kg) / HT (m) × WC (m) / HT (m) = weight-for-height × waist-to-height. Firstly, individuals with the same height and weight have the same BMI, but their waist circumferences could vary considerably, and NBMI could distinguish body differences among people's waist sizes. Secondly, NBMI could better identify central obesity than BMI. Thirdly, NBMI could not only measure body mass but also classify health and obesity degrees according to a wide range of scores. Firstly, NBMI incorporating WC could better reflect the body difference in waist size than BMI. Secondly, NBMI is more convenient for identifying central obesity. Thirdly, NBMI could better classify different weight types by expanding the score range.
