Introduction. Overweightness, obesity and sedentary life style can be evaluated by different methods of easy application and determination that estimate nutritional status, level of physical activity and cardiovascular risk of adolescents. This is based on some anthropometric measures, such as the Quetelet ratio, waist-hip index ratio and waist-height index ratio, as well as measuring blood pressure and some additional ones. Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of the waist-hip and waist-height index ratios as detectors of blood pressure alterations in overweight adolescents. Methods. A descriptive study was conducted in 80 adolescents, in the Basic Working Group 1 (GBT1) of the Chiqui Comez polyclinic during the year 2020, who were enrolled by a deliberate sampling. Summary measures, ROC curve, optimal cutoff point, sensitivity and specificity determination were used. Results. The area under the curve for the waist-hip ratio (WHpR) and the waist-height (WHtR) ratio for female gender was 0.867 and 0.760, respectively; sensitivity in the optimal cutoff point of both indexes was 92.3 and 76.9%, respectively. In the male gender, the areas under the curve were 0.656 and 0.665 for the WHpR and WHtR, respectively. Optimal cutoff points were obtained for both anthropometric measures with a 72% sensitivity. Conclusions. The WHpR and WHtR have greater discriminatory capacity on the existence of blood pressure alterations in female adolescents who are overweight. In this group, the WHpR is the most effective: an optimal cutoff point of high sensitivity was obtained, with a decrease of false negatives in the prognosis of the condition.

The modern rhythm of life requires from the body well-coordinated work and respond to changes in various spheres of life. The COVID-19 encourages distance education, which contributes to the sedentary life style of children. The success of a pupil’s education is determined by his level of health, especially for primary school children. One of the main aspects of the body normal functioning is the correct posture. This special aspect became the subject of research. The Purpose of the Study is – experimentally test the method of using carriage exercises and maintaining the optimal level of functional status for primary school children during distance education. Research Organization. The study was performed from March 2020 to June 2020 at the premises of collegium «Elint», Zaporozhye. It was attended by 71 boys aged 7-8 who were divided into experimental (n=36) and control (n=35) groups, all boys were classified in the main medical group. Results. The data obtained during the research revealed both positive (shoulder index and Kettle index) and negative (Ruffier’s functional test) dynamics in students during distance learning. But the best result was shown by the experimental group, due to the fact that during the construction of the methodology, we took into consideration not only sensitive development, but also those aspects that would motivate the children before classes. Conclusion. The established problem of the researched question allowed to develop a method of using carriage exercises and maintaining the optimal level of functional status for primary school children during distance education. Noticed that the developed method has really positive influence, easy to use and can be applied by all members of society.

Introduction : Sedentary life style had become one of factors causing health problem for someone in general. To avoid that condition we could apply some exercises regularly. Exercise can improve concentration, memory, and intellectuals. The sports enjoyed today are Plyometrics and Aerobics. Both sports proved beneficial in improving cognitive function, including concentration. The purpose of this study is to find out comparison between Plyometric and Aerobic towards concentration level. Methods: This research applied quasi-experimental study with pre and post-test design. There were subjects divided into three groups were control group, Plyometrics group and Aerobics group. Medical students of Diponegoro University were taken as subjects of the research which consist 39 males. Intervention is given for 6 weeks. Each week consists of two meetings. The indicator of this research focused on concentration level measured by using Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), measured before and after 6 weeks exercise. Statistical analysis of this study using Paired t-test. Results: There was a significant difference in concentration measurement results between treatment and control groups (p=0.00). Treatment group concentration scores improved better than control group. The DSST score on Plyometrics exercises was 60.00±5.08 and after intervention to 78.00±2.30. The DSST score on Aerobic exercises was 58.76±4.88 and after intervention to 63.07±5.88. Plyometrics exercises are shown to have better effects in increased concentration compared to Aerobic exercises. Conclusion Plyometric and Aerobic exercise were able to enhance concentration level with the highest result achieved by Plyometric group.

There is growing evidence of the challenges with adherence to COVID-19 prevention measures and the effect of the prevention measures on the health of populations in various parts of the world but with limited documentation in sub-Saharan Africa. We assessed COVID-19 awareness, adoption of COVID-19 prevention measures, and the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on the mental health status, socio-economic disruptions and engagement in unhealthy behaviours among 2500 in- and out-of-school adolescent boys and young men (ABYM) aged 10–24 years in Kampala, Uganda. 74.8% (n = 1869) were in-school; nearly half (47.3%, n = 1182) were aged 15–19 years. Although > 80% were aware of at least two COVID-19 prevention measures, only 22.2% (n = 555) reported that they always wore a face mask while in a public place; 40.9% (n = 1023) always washed their hands with soap and running water while 17.6% (n = 440) always avoided gatherings of more than five people. COVID-19 lockdown led to: (a) increased mental health challenges (e.g. 1.2% [n = 31] contemplated committing suicide); (b) limited ability to meet basic needs (e.g. 62.0% [n = 1549] found it difficult to afford a diverse/balanced diet); (c) socio-economic disruptions (e.g. 30.3% [n = 756] experienced a reduction in income) and (d) engagement in unhealthy behaviours (e.g. 62% [n = 1554] reported a sedentary life style such as excessive watching of TV). These effects were more pronounced among older adolescent boys (15–19 years) and young men (20–24 years) and out-of-school compared to in-school ABYM. Our findings suggest a need for appropriate health promotion, mental health and socio-economic interventions targeting ABYM in Kampala, Uganda.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of obesity in affluent school children in Multan. Study design: Cross sectional study Place and Duration of study: Three private schools of Multan selected at random; willing to participate in the study. The study was carried out from 15 May 2015 to 15 November 2015. Results: In our study, 37.58% (n=62) children were between 5-7 years and 62.42% (n=103) were between 8-10 years of age, mean +SD was calculated as 7.79+1.47 years, 73.94% (n=122) were males and 26.06% (n=43) were females. Mean values of basic characteristics of the patients were calculated as 2.14+1.21 as birth order, 33.18+8.25(kg) for weight, 130.15+8.81(cm) and 1.30+0.08(m) for height and 19.40+3.26 (kg/m^2) for BMI. Prevalence of obesity in affluent school children in Multan was calculated as 43.03% (n=71). Conclusion: We concluded that the prevalence of obesity in affluent school children in Multan is very higher. Low physical activity and sedentary lifestyle are potential risk factors for obesity in children which may be modified and persistence of obesity may be avoided.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is the commonest endocrine disorder in population. This clinical syndrome is due to either absolute or relative insulin deciency. Currently number of diabetics worldwide is 422 million. In India the projected increase is from 20 to 62 million, The term diabetes is derived from Greek words Dia meaning “through”, and Bainein meaning “to go”. This disease causes loss of weight as if the body mass is passed through urine. It is a disease known from ancient times. Charaka in his treatise, elaborated this disorder as “Madhumeha” (meaning sweet urine) around 400 BC. Aim & Objective: The level of fasting insulin and serum c-peptide in individual with high BMI /sedentary life style; newly diagnosed cases of hypertension / type2 DM; and old cases of diabetes mellitus. Raised level of serum insulin and c-peptide as a cause of progressive diabetes which can lead to cardiovascular complications and help to prepare patient. Materials And Methods: It is an observational cross sectional study done in the diabetic outpatient clinic of our hospital. 60 diabetic patients were evaluated for fasting plasma glucose level, post prandial glucose level, Glycosalated haemoglobin HbA1c, fasting Insulin and fasting C-peptide level. Results And Analysis: From the above table it was inferred that there is very strong positive correlation of HbA1c with C-PEPTIDE and INSULIN ( r > 0.7 and p value = .000 ). From the table it is inferred that there is a very strong positive correlation of INSULIN with C-PEPTIDE ( r > 0.7 and p value =.000 ). From table it is inferred that C-PEPTIDE has a strong negative correlation with SBPand DBP. (r value > 0.7 and p = .000 ). From table it is inferred that INSULIN has a strong negative correlation with SBPand DBP. ( r value > 0.7 and p =.000). Summary & Conclusion: The level of serum insulin and c-peptide is found to be higher in “newly diagnosed” cases than that of “old diagnosed” cases and this can be explained by the fact that treatment modies the course of disease and slows its progression. With passage of duration, hypertension starts to build up in established cases of diabetes. C-peptide and serum insulin testing should be done in patients with poor blood glucose control to decide treatment modalities and to create awareness about lifestyle modications and education to Prevent progression of prediabetic stage to diabetic and further to its complicated stage.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of obesity among middle school children of Hyderabad District. We undertook a comprehensive cross sectional study to assess the prevalence of obesity among middle school children. A total of 600 students from public and private schools were enrolled for the study (300 female students and 300 male students). Out of 300 female students, 150 students belongs to public and remaining150 to private schools. Likewise out of 300 male students, 150 students belong to public and 150 belong to private schools. Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to determine prevalence of overweight and obesity. BMI for age was computed by measuring height and weight of each student. The result shows that the mean age of female students was 12.40 years and means height was 57.94 inches. While their male counterparts had a mean age of 13.19 years and mean height was 60.50 inches. The prevalence of obesity among female students was 9.3% and 17.34% in public and private schools respectively and combined obesity was 13.3% similarly the prevalence of obesity among male students was 18.7%, 17.3% and 18.0% in public, private schools and combined total respectively. The high prevalence of obesity among schoolchildren seems to be due to the sedentary life style, lack of recommended physical activity on daily basis as well as consumption large amount of calories in the form of junk food or fast food. High-tech devices like mobile, cordless phones and remote controls also contribute to couch culture and prevent children of necessary walk. Furthermore, it was also observed that people are less aware of health, and psychological issues of child obesity.

As the world advances, living standards are getting changed with inclination more toward sedentary life style and junk food, we are seeing a worldwide increased incidence of coronary artery disease. A 73 year of age gentleman with progressive shortness of breath NYHA-II/III since last 6 months and epigastric discomfort with effort angina CCS-III. Was having no other co-morbidities, except of 35 pack years of smoking. On evaluation his Coro-angiogram revealed Diffuses TVCAD with Lad diffusely diseased throughout its middle course >90%, LCX 80%, RCA mid-Course critical discrete lesion of 90%. His 2D, TTE showed normal valvular apparatus and ejection fraction of 55%. Literature review further furnishes the fact that LAD is most commonly being affected by atheroma formation hence making it the most common site for endartrectomy, though peri-operative MI is still a grave concern, but half dose protamine slow reversal of the heparin and keeping ACT at 150-160 sec greatly reduces the incidence of peri-operative MI.

The current study aimed to examine the relationship between weight-based teasing, coping strategies and self-esteem among obese university students. A total of 60 obese university students (Males=30, Females=30) of the age group 17 to 26 years (M= 21.52, SD= 2.24) were chosen from different universities of Lahore. The measures used in the current study were Body Mass Index (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2013), Perception of Teasing Scale (Thompson, Cattarin, Fowler & Fisher, 1995), Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced Questionnaire (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989) and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The findings revealed no significant gender differences in the use of problem focused and emotion focused coping styles. The results also revealed that 70% of the overweight/obese students were living a sedentary life style while 30% of the participants were engaged in taking a properly balanced diet along with exercise. 60% of the students were overweight due to the excessive eating, no physical activity or excessive sleeping. The results also showed that there was a significant positive relationship between perception of teasing and self-esteem and perception of teasing was a strong predictor of self-esteem among obese university students.

Medication compliance among hypertensive patients is poor, affecting a large population which can be noted in the form of increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Further, uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) can lead to multiple complications on the basis of gender and age. The aim was to explore the existing literature related to medication compliance among patients with hypertension. In this regard, literature search both nationally and internationally has been conducted. In conclusion, avoiding sedentary life style, awareness and counselling as well as family involvement, availability of anti-hypertensive medications in government hospitals and team based approaches are required for improving medication compliance among these patients. Qualitative researches are needed for exploring the challenges related to anti-hypertensive medication compliance both from patients and health care professionals’ perspectives.

Millets and pseudocereals are ancient domesticated food grains and continue to be staple foods for a large segment of Asian, African and Andean population. They are nutritionally superior to major cereals in terms of slow digestible carbohydrates, non-allergenic proteins, dietary fibre and micronutrients. They contain 55–75% starch, 7–15% protein, 2–5% lipid, 2–4% minerals, and 7–15% dietary fibre. The unique nutritional features of these food grains lay in the health beneficial nutraceutical contents. The nutritional and health benefits of millets and pseudocereals have been very well documented and they are recommended to minimize the intensity as well as management of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. The nutritional and health benefits of these grains have been receiving increased attention and efforts are being made to provide them to the non-traditional consumers worldwide in convenience ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat forms. In the present scenario of sedentary life style, prevention of life style related diseases and to lead healthy life, regular consumption of millets, and pseudocereals is highly desirable.

Frozen shoulder is a common epidemiological affliction. Data acquired from people who suffer from this type of damage in other joints such as the hip, wrist and ankle also exist; although these syndromes are less common. Treatment for frozen shoulder is primarily physical (physiotherapy, manual therapy), secondary medical (corticosteroid injections) and finally surgical but with limited success. The difficulty in treating this type of condition successfully lies in the lack of knowledge about the risk factors involved and the pathophysiology underlying this mysterious syndrome. This review gives an overview of the current scientific position of frozen shoulder in terms of evolutionary factors, etiology, the different mechanisms of action involved, current treatment options and other possible interventions based on recent discoveries of pathophysiological mechanisms. The overall objective is to clarify several unknown aspects of a syndrome that affects up to 5% of the world's population.

In the present era Arsha has become most common and distressing disease due to Sedentary life style and irregular habits. RaktArshas is one of the bheda of Ardra Arshas. Per rectal bleeding is the chief complaint in 1st degree internal haemorrhoid. Bleeding through Haemorrhoids can leads to Anaemia which ultimately leads to serious complications. Stoppage of bleeding is primary goal in the RaktArsha. In bleeding Tikta Rasatmaka Dravyas are given to the patients for Agnisandeepan, haemostasis & Pachna of Doshas. So, in the present study single patient study taken. The result of the study was assessed on the basis of clinical improvement.

Gudarsha or haemorrhoid has been known to mankind for longer time and one of the commonest disease to affect human being, in today’s time consumption of fast foods, sedentary life style and mental stress are factors that disturbed bowel habit and constipation. Haemorrhoid is clinically engorged condition of haemorrhoidal venous plexus with abnormally displaced enlarged anal cushion. The prevalence rate of this disease is 4.4% in ten million people. Arsha is mentioned in Ashtamhagad by Acharya Sushruta and occurs mainly due to Agnimandya (low digestive fire). Modern medical science has treatment alternatives such as diet-lifestyle modification, sclerotherpy, banding, LASER ablation etc. and various surgical procedure such as hemorrhoidectomy, MIPH etc. in advanced stage. Sushruta has described various modalities in the management of Arsha such as Bheshaja, Ksharkarma, Agnikarma and Shastra Karma. The Arsha in early stages with less sign and symptoms can be treated with medicinal treatment. Hence, to establish a palliative treatment for Arsha, Suranpindi (internally) along with Kasisadi Malhara (locally) was prescribed and to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy in early internal (Grade 1 and 2) haemorrhoid. In this clinical study, an open randomized controlled clinical trial has been conducted on 50 patient. The study revealed that, the combination treatment proved effective in reducing symptoms of Gudarsha i.e. internal (Grade 1 and 2) haemorrhoid such as per rectal bleeding, size and colour of pile pedicle, and further regression in stages of haemorrhoid.

Introduction: Intertrochanteric femur fractures are common in the elderly people. The frequency of these fractures has increased primarily due to the increasing life span and more sedentary life style brought on by urbanization. The incidence of Intertrochanteric femur fractures is more in the female population compared to the male due to osteoporosis. Aim and Objective- To compare outcome of intertrochanteric femur fractures treated with DHS and PFN. Methodology: comparative study of proximal femoral nail and dynamic hip screw in the treatment of 50 cases of intertrochanteric femur fractures in the Department of orthopedics, DY Patil Hospital Pune was done from July 2015 to July 2016. Result: Result were almost similar in both groups. Conclusion: It is most difficult task to assess and decide as to which technique is better out the two. Some studies reveal DHS to be better than PFN, while some studies show vice versa. Both the techniques are precise, time tested & require reasonable amount of surgical skill. Final decision depends on operative surgeon’s preference to specific technique.

The sedentary life style is carried out in labor and domestic activities; the use of means of transport has caused the reduction of the physical activity. The physical inactivity reduces the health benefits. The main goal of this study is to create an Index of Sedentary lifestyle (ISLM) for Mexican people aged from 20 to 69, in this way, it allows to predict its main causes taking as reference a factor analysis. The source of information is taken from National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES) 2012. For this analysis was considered the vigorous activity[1], the time spent sitting on a means of transport, the time spent watching TV and doing physical activity. As a conclusion, it was determined that the state of Nuevo Leon obtained a higher ISLM that stands above the rest of the entities of the country. [1]Vigorous Physical Activity ≥150 min/week, and/or moderate physical activity ≥300 min/week (NHANES, 2012).
