Bmi Health
Is your BMI a general indication of your health?
My BMI (body mass index) is in the low but healthy range, but does it mean I’m healthy/fit? or just the right weight? i don’t get it could someone please explain!
Mmm, yes and no. BMI is a general indicator of Height to Weight proportions and can only be used as a guide only. BMI does not tell you lean mass to fat mass ratios. So for example, a lot of professional athletes are overweight, and some are even obese according to their BMI…but when you see them they are obviously healthy and very fit.
SO. In summary. BMI is a good guideline, but it doesn’t tell you anything specific.

A primary care school age Healthy Choices Intervention program. $49.99 Childhood overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Primary care providers could intervene in this escalating health crisis by providing evidence-based interventions to address this chronic health problem, but there has been limited experimental research conducted in primary care settings to guide interventions to improve the physical and psychosocial outcomes of overweight in school age children. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to pilot test a comprehensive Cognitive Theory-based Healthy Choices Intervention (HCI) program with overweight and obese 9- to 12-year-old children and their parents in order to determine the program’s feasibility and acceptability in a primary care setting. Secondary aims included an evaluation of the psychosocial and anthropometric child and parent outcomes in order to determine the intervention’s preliminary effects. The relationships among the outcomes for participants also were examined.;Overweight and obese children (Sample size = 17; Mean = 10.9 years; Standard Deviation = 0.88 years) identified in primary care, and their parents, participated in this 7-week one-group pretest posttest intervention study. Outcome measures included: weight and body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile, physical activity and nutrition knowledge, beliefs, choices, and behaviors, anxiety and depression and self-concept and social competence. The internal consistency of instruments adapted for this age group of children also was assessed.;Results indicated that participants found the weekly cognitive behavior skills building HCI with its alternating clinic and telephone sessions, to be useful and informative. Significant effects of the HCI for the children included decreased BMI percentile, increased knowledge, beliefs, choices, and behaviors, and self-reported increased physical activity and self-control.

Acceptability of weight loss treatments among overweight adolescents and their caregivers. $49.99 Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States and has been linked to impairments in physical and psychosocial functioning. Consequently, treatments for obesity have flourished and health care professionals have increasingly turned to more invasive forms of treatment (e.g., bariatric surgery). In recent years, the availability of surgical obesity interventions has been extended from adults to adolescent populations. However, research examining the extent to which these procedures are acceptable to overweight adolescents and their parents is lacking. This study sought to examine the acceptability of adjustable gastric banding, a recently developed bariatric surgery procedure, in relation to four other common obesity treatments (i.e., dietary therapy, exercise program, family behavior therapy, and weight loss pills). Participants were recruited from a hospital-based weight management clinic. Inasmuch as acceptance is the basis for effective intervention programs, an understanding of adolescent and parental perspectives about obesity treatments in required to inform future weight loss program strategies. Results indicated that across informants (parents and children, boys and girls) gastric banding surgery and weight loss pills were perceived as less acceptable forms of treatment than diet, exercise, and family behavior therapy. There was also no significant correlation between treatment acceptability ratings and body mass index (BMI), health-related quality of life, or number of previously attempted weight loss strategies. Thus, although the number of bariatric surgeries occurring in the United States is on the rise and although gastric banding surgery in particular is being touted as a safer form of bariatric surgery, parents and children perceive this form of treatment to be less acceptable than other weight loss treatments on the market.

Assessment of an exercise program on population with chronic medical conditions. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of a 4 month exercise program designed for population with chronic medical conditions. Eighteen subjects volunteered to participate in the study. Ten subjects participated as experimental group and eight as control group. Subject’s for this study were 45 years or older and had medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and/or obesity.;All the subjects in the experimental group participated in a twice weekly, one hour exercise sessions. Data for the variables was collected at the beginning and at 4 months period in both experimental and control group. Data analyses included descriptive statistics (M, SD, range), correlated t-test, independent t-tests, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests. Significance level was P ≤ 0.05.;There was significant improvement in weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, V·O2 max, reaction time lower limbs, dynamic balance, time to lift 5 lb weight from the ground, time required to stand continuously for 3 times from the chair, time required to walk 10 feet at normal pace, time required to walk 10 feet at fast pace, POMA scores, and HRQOL self rated general health (P ≤ 0.05) in the experimental group. There was no significant change in cholesterol levels, reaction time of upper limbs, static balance, muscle strength, depression, number of days of physical illness, number of days of mental illness, activity limitation days, and balance confidence in the experimental group. Except for activity limitation days there was no significant change in any other variable in the control group.;It can be concluded that a 4 month exercise program for individuals with chronic medical conditions can improve weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, V·O2 max, reaction time lower limbs, dynamic balance, time to lift 5 lb weight from the ground, time required to stand continuously for 3 times from the chair, time to |

Association Of Hypertension Diagnosis And Smoking Cessation $51.56 Hypertension and smoking are two major issues threatening the nation’s health. Previous studies examining their relationship have resulted in conflicting reports that leaves readers with the question: Does hypertension diagnosis induce one to quit smoking or does smoking cessation lead to behaviors that increase the risk of hypertension diagnosis? The aim of this work is to closely examine this relationship. Data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) were used in this investigation. Physical examination measurements of blood pressure and self-reported diagnosis and smoking behavior were used to define hypertension and smoking status. The risk of prior hypertension diagnosis associated with smoking cessation was estimated from a multivariate logistic regression model, adjusting for gender, age, ethnicity, BMI, physical activity, HDL cholesterol, and alcohol use. After adjusting for these confounders, are ex-smokers significantly more likely to have a prior hypertension diagnosis? Researchers in the fields of Public Health and Biostatistics will find the results astounding. |

Associations between adult food insecurity and various nutritional outcomes. $49.99 The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a better understanding of the health and nutritional status of food insecure persons in the United States. This dissertation covers three studies which used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999-2002. The first study determined the associations between adult food insecurity and percent body fat (%BF), BMI and height, and %BF and BMI stratified by height. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to determine percent body fat for 2,117 men and 1,909 women. Results showed that, among men, %BF, height and BMI decreased as food insecurity (FI) increased. Marginal food security among women who were below median height associated with about 2.0 kg/m2 increase in BMI compared with their fully food secure counterparts, P = 0.042. Marginal food security among women associated with 1.3 cm decrease in height, P = 0.016. Percent body fat did not associate with food insecurity among women irrespective of height. The second study determined the associations between adult food insecurity and body weight change among 2,626 men and 2,685 women in 1 and 10 years using different specifications. Results showed that compared with the fully food secure, food insecurity among women associated with significant weight gain at both the >5kg and >10kg specifications in both 1 and 10 years. Food insecurity associated with higher prevalence of weight gain ≥10% of body weight 1 year ago among women and 10 years ago among men. Food insecurity without hunger among women associated with greater likelihood to gain >5kg of weight in 1 year. The third study estimated the probabilities of dyslipidemia and elevated plasma glucose (EPG) in relation to food insecurity among 2,572 men and 2,976 women. Results showed that, compared with the fully food secure, significantly higher percentage of marginally food secure women and food insecure without hunger women associated with dyslipidemia.

Bariatric Surgery $43 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, is a type of procedure performed on people who are dangerously obese, for the purpose of losing weight. This weight loss is usually achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with an implanted medical device gastric banding or through removal of a portion of the stomach gastric bypass surgery. Long-term studies show the procedures cause significant long-term loss of weight, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and a reduction in mortality of 23% to 40%. The U.S. National Institutes of Health recommends bariatric surgery for obese people with a body mass index BMI of at least 40, and for people with BMI 35 and serious coexisting medical conditions such as diabetes. |

Blood levels of maternal serum corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) at mid-pregnancy: Which maternal characteristics are influential? $49.99 The objective of this study was to examine the influence of maternal demographics, anthropometrics, behavioral and psychological factors on mid-pregnancy blood CRH levels by focusing only on women with uncomplicated pregnancies (401 non-Hispanic White, 345 African-American women) in the Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health (POUCH) Study. Maternal serum at 15–27 weeks' gestation and maternal factors were obtained at the time of enrollment. Regression models, weighted for the subcohort sampling scheme, were constructed to evaluate the associations between maternal factors and log transformed CRH pg/ml levels (dependent variable). Race, pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal education, maternal age, Medicaid status, smoking status during pregnancy and maternal depressive symptoms/psychotropic medication were significantly associated with CRH levels after adjusting for gestational week at blood sampling. Multivariate analyses demonstrated substantially lower CRH levels in African-American women vs White women (mean difference=-0.41, P<0.01), women with top quartile vs bottom quartile BMI (mean difference=-0.25 P<0.01), and women with ≤ 12 years vs > 12 years education (mean difference=-0.13, P<0.05). Women with either high levels of depressive symptoms or exposure to psychotropic medications exhibited significantly lower CRH levels (mean difference=-0.14, P<0.01). |

Candidate genes for Type 2 Diabetes and obesity in Pima Indians. $49.99 The Akimel O’Odham, the people of the Gila River Pima Indian Community of central Arizona, have the highest known risk for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The National Institute of Digestive, Diabetes, and Kidney Disease (NIDDK), of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been studying T2D in this population since 1964. One arm of this study seeks genetic factors which contribute to etiology of the disease. This report encompasses study findings of physiological and positional candidate genes for T2D in this population. The physiological candidate genes, SUR1 and Kir6.2, expressed in beta cells play a critical role in insulin secretion. Futhermore, they have been shown rich in genetic variation. This report documents the polymorphisms found in Pimas. Linkage studies revealed linkage between loci on chromosome 4 and chromosome 11q and disease. Previous work in this laboratory showed functional consequences associated with a missense mutation in intestinal fatty acid binding protein (FABP2). Included here are results of a functionality study of variation in the FABP2 5′-UTR region. A topical review presents the current understanding of the role of this protein. The final section contains results from a portion of the chromosome 11q 50-kb fine-mapping project undertaken by this laboratory. This project followed the earlier report that linkage studies showed association between BMI and diabetes to loci on chromosome 11q. In addition to fine-mapping, the laboratory sequenced genes in the region. The results of sequencing DPAGT1, one of the positional candidate genes indicated by the linkage study, are presented. |

Characterization of time and order of internet lessons in Project WebHealth. $49.99 Objective. To determine if completion order of lessons, number of lessons completed, appropriate spacing of completed lessons, and amount of time spent (dose) on health and wellness web based lessons correlates to a positive behavior change in weight, waist circumference, BMI, engagement in physical activity (using METS), and/or the consumption of fruits or vegetables.;Design, setting, and participants. The results from this study were obtained from Project WebHealth which was developed to determine if 10-internet lessons using the health-at-any-size concept will prevent excessive weight gain in college students n=1692. Participants were full-time students ages 18–24, enrolled in one of eight universities, with a BMI ≥ 18.5 who were not pregnant or lactating, not nutrition or exercise science majors, and were free from health conditions that could interfere with dietary and exercise changes. Participants were randomized into intervention and control groups.;Intervention. The intervention group had access to 10 web-based healthy lifestyle lessons, one a week for 10 weeks. Completion dates of lessons and seconds spent on lessons were tracked by the computer program.;Outcome measures and analysis. Participants completed online surveys including questions pertaining to inclusion criteria, demographics, exercise frequency, and fruit and vegetable intake prior to study inclusion. Anthropometrics, height, weight, and waist circumference, were measured by trained personnel at each institution. Total time was converted to minutes and separated into ‘time’ quartiles (0–31.7, 31.7–55.9, 55.9–91.7, and ≥ 91.7 minutes) to identify mean differences of characteristics of subjects across quartiles. Associations between time and change in outcome variables were analyzed using Univariate GLM, SPSS 16.0.;Results.

Childhood Obesity, Vol. 1: Its Definition, Effects on Health, and Other Disorders $13.19 Used – Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child’s health or wellbeing. As methods to determine body fat directly are difficult, the diagnosis of obesity is often based on BMI. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health concern. The term overweight rather than obese is often used in children as it is less stigmatizing. The book discusses the method to determine c |

Concentrations of adiponectin, leptin and ghrelin and interrelationships with body fatness and glycemic control before and after a culturally sensitive diabetes education program for Hispanic community patients with type 2 diabetes. $49.99 The Hispanic population in the U.S. is disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes with age-adjusted prevalences that are nearly twice that of non-Hispanic whites. This population also has higher morbidity and mortality due to complications of type 2 diabetes. This study examines archival data obtained from a three month prospective cohort study of a culturally sensitive diabetes education program for Hispanics with type 2 diabetes. This study was entitled “Effects of Diabetes Education in the Hispanic Community.” The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in adipose tissue function (serum concentrations of adiponectin and leptin) and appetite regulation (serum concentration of ghrelin) before and after the three month education program and to understand the interrelationships of any changes in these parameters with glycemic control, body mass index and body composition as measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry among study participants.;Fifty-nine subjects met the inclusion criteria and were invited to participate. Forty-four participants enrolled in the study and began the intervention in February 2005 and 34 completed the trial in May 2005. The diabetes education classes were conducted in Spanish by trained health professionals and covered ten topics including blood glucose monitoring, nutrition and exercise, motivation, weight control, and foot care. Study personnel weighed participants and measured waist and hip circumferences at class sessions and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Fasting blood draws were taken at baseline and after the three month intervention period and analyzed for serum concentrations of blood glucose, hemoglobinA1c, insulin, adiponectin, leptin, and ghrelin. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed at baseline and after three months. Paired samples t-tests for continuous data were utilized to examine changes in study parameters before and after the intervention. Univariate correlational analysis was utilized to assess the |

Ethnic variations in body image and physical activity in women’s cardiovascular health. $49.99 Morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease is increased in Black and Hispanic populations relative to other races in the United States. In part, higher levels of physical inactivity among Blacks and Hispanics may contribute to this health disparity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate potential ethnic variations in the perception of body mass index (BMI), accrued physical activity, and physical fitness in 204 pre-menopausal women. Subjects consisted of Whites (n = 97), Blacks ( n = 62) and Others (Hispanics and Asians, n = 45). Each participant completed questionnaires to assess; health status, body image, physical activity, and stage of change. Body composition and physical fitness were also determined. Although no ethnic differences were found between the perception of BMI and actual BMI in all groups, Blacks were the only group where the perception of BMI was lower than the actual BMI. Significant ethnic differences were found in accrued domestic physical activity, total physical activity, and physical fitness among the study cohort. Specifically, Black women engaged in 50% less domestic physical activity and total physical activity than Whites and Others. Thus these data suggest that Black women may be slightly more accepting of a higher BMI compared to other ethnicities thus contributing to lower accrued levels of total physical activity. |

Fat: It’s Not What You Think $0.99 Fat: It’s Not What You Think provides a refreshing antidote to the misinformation and misleading hype that fuels our misguided fear of fat-both the fat we eat, and the fat we carry around. By explaining its biology and sharing the latest research, veteran science writer Connie Leas convincingly frees fat from its bad reputation. For example, she discusses how our much-maligned fatty tissue plays a critical role in maintaining health. Among other vital functions, it stores energy, produces hormones, builds cell membranes, bolsters immunity, and insulates our vital organs. Leas also contradicts many long-held assumptions about fat. For example: • No one has ever shown a correlation between egg consumption and cardiovascular disease. • Doctors often prescribe statin drugs when our cholesterol level reaches 240, even though this is actually within the normal range. • A porterhouse steak contains more unsaturated fat than saturated fat. • Today Americans consume 15 percent less fat than we did in 1970, yet overall we are 20 percent fatter. • Overweight people live longer than those in the so-called “healthy” range of the BMI scale. What’s more, Leas explains often-confusing terms such as triglycerides, polyunsaturated, omega-3, and trans-fat that are tossed around in the media, but which few people really understand. Having spent years researching this subject, Leas has transformed technical material from scientific research into a lively work of popular appeal. Chock full of useful-and sometimes startling-information, Fat: It’s Not What You Think is a valuable health resource presented in an accessible, entertaining format. |

Glycemic load and risk of Alzheimer’s disease: The Cache County study on memory, health, and aging. $49.99 Carbohydrates are a major energy source for the human body and particularly glucose is the only energy source for the brain. Thus glucose metabolism is important to maintain normal brain function. Evidence showed insulin resistance and diabetes are associated with cognitive decline and a large amount of highly processed carbohydrate intake; in other words, a high glycemic load diet, which increases blood glucose faster and insulin demand, is associated with increased risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.;Based on this premise, the hypothesis that a high GL diet increases the risk of incident Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was examined among Cache County elderly people in Northern Utah. At the baseline survey, 3,831 participants 65 years of age or older completed a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and cognitive screening. Observation time to collect the data for incident AD was approximately 10 years. Incident AD was determined by final consensus conference after multi-steps of screening. GL was calculated as the product of carbohydrate intake and glycemic index (GI) and adjusted for energy intake. FFQs from diabetics were considered to be invalid to assess dietary carbohydrates intake and excluded. The analysis was examined separately by gender.;The Cox proportional hazard regression model in survival analysis was used to relate GL to incident AD using a time variable with age of AD onset. There was no association in men but a negative association in women in the unadjusted model. Evidence of confounding by total kcal was apparent in women, particularly in the lowest GL group, which had the highest total kcal mean intake. Finally no association between GL and AD was found after adjustment for education, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, APOE epsilon-4 alleles, multi-vitamins use, total kcal, and controlling interaction between GL and total kcal.;The low GL group had unique characteristics in lifestyle |

Evidence of confounding by total kcal was apparent in women, particularly in the lowest GL group, which had the highest total kcal mean intake. Finally no association between GL and AD was found after adjustment for education, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, APOE epsilon-4 alleles, multi-vitamins use, total kcal, and controlling interaction between GL and total kcal.;The low GL group had unique characteristics in lifestyle |

Health Unplugged $9.99 Health Unplugged is about keeping it simple. When you go to your doctor and he or she tells you that you have to lose weight, that’s all they tell you. Then they send you to a registered dietician and they give you a food pyramid chart and you still can’t figure out what foods to eat. They use words like Glycemic Index, Amino Acid, BMI, Carbohydrates, and HDL, LDL. What does all of that mean? So you go out to the book store and buy books written for and by doctors and you still can’t understand the words, a month later you still haven’t lost weight. On my journey to losing weight, I have purchased at least 5 books/dvd’s trying to figure out what to eat and what exercise to do. Half of the books I never finished reading because I just wanted to get to the parts that I needed. Health Unplugged has a grocery list of foods that you can eat and an exercise schedule that you can start today. My book goes straight to the point for people like me that just want to lose weight without the mumble jumble. |

Health behaviors and life satisfaction in college students. $49.99 This study explored the relationship between a variety of health behaviors and life satisfaction in college students. University students (N =794) enrolled in a midwestern university during the Fall, 2006 and Spring, 2007 semester, completed an online Health Behavior Assessment designed to measure body mass index (BMI), frequency of physical activity behavior, fruit and vegetable consumption, sleep behavior, alcohol use, frequency of use of stress-management skills, stage of change for physical activity, stage of change for fruit and vegetable consumption, stage of change for frequency of stress-management skills, and life satisfaction. As predicted, significant correlations were found between life satisfaction and BMI, frequency of physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and frequency of use of stress-management skills. Students who regularly received 6–8 hours of sleep showed higher levels of life satisfaction. Students in the maintenance stage of change for physical activity behavior and stress-management skill use were found to have higher levels of life satisfaction compared to individuals in earlier stages of change. Results indicated that increased life satisfaction is related to a variety of health behaviors in college students. |

Individual, social, physical environmental, and organizational correlates of children’s summer camp-based physical activity. $49.99 Physical inactivity is a concern of public health as many children are not participating in enough physical activity to maintain a healthy profile. Evidence has also indicated that physical inactivity may be exacerbated during the summer months. To address these issues, researchers have begun exploring settings such as parks and schools to determine their role in facilitating physical activity. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine 8- to 12-year-old children’s physical activity in summer camps and determine correlates of their physical activity participation. The social ecological framework was used to arrange variables into conceptual factors including individual characteristics (i.e., age, gender, race, Body Mass Index, pre-camp physical activity), and social (i.e., counselor and peer physical activity), physical (i.e., size and number of facilities), and organizational (i.e., camper-staff ratio and programming) environments.;Data were collected from 157 campers at four day camps and 132 campers at four resident camps. Campers at resident camps took 19,699 pedometer-recorded steps during full camp days while day campers took 11,916 steps during half camp days. Male gender, non-minority race, BMI below the 85th percentile, high peer group and counselor stepcounts, and larger and more physical activity facilities were positive bi-variate correlates of day camper physical activity. Male gender, non-minority race, BMI below the 85th percentile, high peer group stepcount, more physical activity facilities, more camp acreage, longer walking distance between programming areas, low camper-staff ratio, and intentional physical activity programming were positive bi-variate correlates of resident camper physical activity. Further analyses using ordinary least squares regression for factor level and full day and resident camp models indicated that individual characteristics may have the greatest influence on camper physical activity participation.

Malnutrition Among Ultra Poor Women In Bangladesh $68.99 Malnutrition is widespread and has been recognized as a public health problem in Bangladesh. As people living in absolute poverty are more susceptible to infection, disease and malnutrition, information on dimension of nutrition was required to see the impact of program and modify health intervention. To describe the prevalence of malnutrition and identify the associated factors among the women, 978 ultra poor households targeted by BRAC poverty reduction program in Bangladesh were covered in a cross- sectional survey. Data were collected between July and September 2003. Chronic energy deficiency was highly prevalent among women, 56% had BMI <18.5 kg/m2. Prevalence of anemia was detected in 48% of the women. The average energy intake was calculated as 1609 kcal/day. Parasites infestation prevalence was 66%. Significant association was found between BMI and reported illness, perceived health status and signature capability. Anemia was associated with signature capability, iron tablet intake and total number of pregnancy. The extent of malnutrition was high among the women in ultra poor households. |

Mental health: Understanding its role in type 2 diabetes within the context of Latino culture. $49.99 Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease that affects many Latinos in the U.S. and can be difficult to manage. In addition to the physical challenges and compromises one must make while managing T2D, many individuals also experience emotional challenges. People with T2D are three times more likely to experience depression and anxiety than those without T2D. For the Latino population, addressing emotions in T2D management is culturally important because many continue to hold the indigenous belief that negative emotions can cause diabetes and its complications. This study was conducted to provide additional insight for improving the emotional well-being of Latinos with T2D. Three manuscripts were produced to add to scientific knowledge and literature. Manuscript 1 investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status, years lived in the U.S., stress, depressive symptoms, discrimination, health behaviors, and weight status. Path analysis was conducted for both Mexican and white respondents of the Sinai Chicago Community Health Survey 2003–2004. Results revealed that perceived stress was associated with BMI for the white group but not for the Mexican group. While psychosocial stressors were not directly associated with weight status for the Mexican group, they were significantly associated with unhealthy dietary intake. Both models best explained depressive symptoms. Manuscript 2 includes a non-quantitative systematic review of type 2 diabetes management interventions that address the emotional well-being of Latinos. Results revealed few published T2D intervention studies with a Latino sample and an emotional well-being component. T2D interventions focus on cognitive and behavioral aspects of diabetes management and incorporate cultural sensitivity approaches. Manuscript 3 proposes a T2D management framework that integrates both an explanatory model of illness framework and the Transactional Model of Coping (TMC). The explanatory model assesses cultural |
