We aimed at investigating the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on time required to complete a 1000-m run and vital capacity (VC) among healthy male students three universities in Wuhan, China, followed for four years covering prepandemic (2019), early/late pandemic (2020/2021), post-pandemic (2022) periods. Demographic information including age, body height/weight, mass index (BMI) were also collected. After dividing participants into groups based BMI (i.e., underweight: < 18.5; normal: 18.5 ≤ 25; overweight: 25 30; obese: ≥ 30), associations performance with changes VC between different within each group periods analyzed. A 4-year follow-up 10,037 demonstrated progressive deterioration (p 0.001) except obese group. All showed drop period (all p compatible their impaired performance. The underweight/normal exhibited an annual increase 0.001). Impairment was most conspicuous during early as subsided.

Nursing Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 110 - 110

Published: March 19, 2025

Background/Objectives: Arterial hypertension (HT) is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, often contributing to prolonged lengths of hospital stay (LOHS), which place significant strain on healthcare systems. This study aimed analyze the factors associated with in patients HT, focusing key biochemical and clinical predictors. Methods: retrospective included 356 adult hospitalized Cardiology Department University Hospital Wroclaw, Poland, between January 2017 June 2021. Data collected demographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, laboratory parameters. Logistic regression models were used identify predictors LOHS, defined as four or more days, evaluate interactions variables. Results: Lower levels low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) elevated concentrations high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) identified each 1 mg/dL decrease LDL-c increasing odds LOHS by 1.21% (p < 0.001) mg/L increase hsCRP raising 3.80% = 0.004). An interaction sex heart failure (HF) was also observed. Female HF had 3.995-fold higher compared females without 0.001), while no difference found among male 0.890).

MGM Journal of Medical Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(1), P. 95 - 103

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant global health challenge, with particularly high prevalence among genetically predisposed populations. Environmental and lifestyle factors can activate susceptibility genes, heightening the risk of developing diabetes. Investigating interplay between genetic environmental critical for effective T2DM management. This study examines relationship body mass index (BMI), interleukin-4 (IL-4) gene polymorphism (rs2243250), patients from Northern India. Materials Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 175 were categorized into three BMI groups as follows: normal weight, overweight, obese. Demographic data collected via surveys, genotyping was performed using tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests one-way analysis variance, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) odds ratios (OR) calculated to assess associated IL-4 polymorphism. A P < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The heterozygous CT genotype rs2243250 significantly obesity, observed in 58.13% obese patients, compared 40.68% overweight group 20% group. Most (82) treated combination therapy metformin, pioglitazone, glimepiride, effectively improving triglycerides, HbA1c, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), blood glucose levels across all categories. Conclusion: TT may protect against elevated patients. Further studies are needed unravel complex interactions polymorphisms, BMI, enhance management strategies.

Orvostanhallgatók stresszterheltsége és mentális jólléte a testtömegindex és az étkezési magatartás tükrében

Orvosi Hetilap, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 165(42), P. 1659 - 1668

Published: Oct. 20, 2024

Bevezetés: Az orvostanhallgatók mentális egészségének megőrzése világszerte komoly kihívást jelent, hiszen stresszterheltségük igen nagy, aminek következtében gyakori körükben a szorongás, depresszió, az öngyilkossági gondolatok és kiégés. Célkitűzés: Kutatásunk célja, hogy megvizsgáljuk orvostanhallgatókból álló minta stresszterheltségét, megküzdési módjait, étkezés magatartását egészségük néhány jellemzőit, leíró statisztikák mellett klaszterelemzéssel azonosítsuk hallgatók csoportjait veszélyeztetettségük szempontjából. Módszer: A kutatásban szegedi vettek részt online felmérés formájában (n = 153; 18–30 évesek, 77,1% nő). Észlelt Stressz Skála Megküzdési Módok Kérdőív következő skálákat alkalmaztuk mérésekhez: Háromfaktoros Evési Kérdőív, Rosenberg Önértékelés Skála, Általános Énhatékonyság Testbecsülés Étkezési Magatartás Önszabályozása Skála. Eredmények: Kétmintás t-próbával nem volt számottevő különbség normál súlyú/sovány túlsúlyos/obes csoport között észlelt stressz szintjében. utóbbiak körében azonban érzelmi kontrollálatlan evést mérő alskálák magasabb szintje felveti evészavarok kockázatát. három klaszter eltérő veszélyeztetettséget jelent: „nagy stressz, nagy BMI, kis pszichológiai immunkompetencia” elnevezésű csoportra jellemző kockázatos megküzdés nagyobb rizikója, míg jóval kisebb kockázat akkor, ha magas stressz-szint normális BMI-vel egészséges testbecsüléssel jár együtt. legkedvezőbb helyzetben „kis nevű klaszterbe tartozók vannak. Következtetés: kutatás eredményei felhasználhatók prevenciós egészségnevelési programok fejlesztéséhez, javítani tudjuk orvostanhallgatói populáció életminőségét, megelőzhessük romlását.
