Abstract

Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between university students' dietary patterns, their demographics and lifestyle in a cross-sectional study in Qatar. Participants: 370 students in eight universities in Qatar enrolled between February 2017 and February 2018. Methods: Based on a structured questionnaire, dietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis, and their associations with student characteristics were assessed using logistic regression. Results: Four dietary patterns were identified. The "fast food" pattern was associated with being younger and male (p-values = 0.1). The "traditional diet" pattern was associated with not skipping meals or eating when bored (p-values = 0.1). The "healthy diet" pattern was associated with regular exercise and having time to eat healthy foods (p-values = 0.01). The "protein shake" pattern was associated with being male and engaging in more vigorous physical activity (p-values = 0.01). Conclusions: Our findings provide a roadmap for the prioritization of population-specific interventions in university students within Qatar and the region.

Abstract

Objective: University students face high levels of stress-related factors, such as an unfamiliar environment, challenging workload, and uncertainty about their ability to succeed. Participants: A total of 370 students in Qatar who consented to participate between February 2017 and February 2018. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed perceived stress [using a validated 4-point perceived stress scale (PSS-4)], as well as diet, exercise, body mass index, sleep, and life satisfaction. Results: Among students aged 18-39 (mean = 20.1 ± 3.0 years), PSS-4 scores varied between 0 and 16 (mean = 7.4 ± 3.4). Elevated stress was significantly associated with female sex, country of origin, residing off-campus, eating when bored, lack of self-discipline, disturbed sleep, and low levels of life satisfaction. Furthermore, students with PSS-4 scores above the median level were 2.3 times likelier to report difficulty concentrating on academic work. Conclusion: Elevated stress levels are present in university students in Qatar. Strengthening coping skills may improve health and academic performance.

11. Gallstones and Gallbladder Cancer in Southwestern Native Americans

Author

Lowenfels, Albert B.

Subjects
indian subjects, have stones, large stones, increased gallblader risk
Abstract

We have studied the relationship between gallstones and gallbladder cancer in American Indians located in the southwestern United States. As determined in a case-control study, the overall age- and sex-adjusted relative risk for this group was 20.9 (95 percent confidence interval 8.1-54). The corresponding relative risk for non-Indian subjects was significantly less: 4.4 (95 percent confidence interval 2.6-7.3). Indian subjects were more likely to have stones >cm than non-Indian subjects: Age-adjusted odds ratio = 1.5, 95 percent confidence interval 1.2-2.00. Large stones appear to be associated with an increased risk of gallbladder cancer, perhaps because they have been present longer than small stones.Many other Native American populations in the Western Hemisphere ranging from Alaska to South America are also prone to gallbladder cancer. These widely separated groups may share a common genetic factor leading first to obesity and then to gallstones and gallbladder cancer.
