Association analyses of depression, anxiety, and physical fitness parameters in Turkish obese adults

Abstract

The fact that physical fitness being found poor in obese shows the existence of a condition that might constitute an increased tendency for obesity-related disorders. In addition, it was suggested that, in Turkey, attitudes toward obesity change depending on gender.

Impact of Anxiety on the Satisfaction of Dental Implant Patients

“…Trait anxiety is a reasonably constant feeling that anyone may experience when facing conditions that appear as a threat . Low STAI‐trait anxiety correlated significantly with patients’ body fat, consistent with a previous study that found that anxiety correlated positively with body fat and with a later study that found that mild anxiety values were higher in obese patients . However, in this study there was no correlation between body fat and patient satisfaction among patients with low STAI‐trait anxiety, while patients with high STAI‐trait exhibited correlations with only two elements of patient satisfaction.…”

“…These findings suggest that some dental conditions are associated with the risk for anemia, similar to the association between anemia and chronic disease . Anxiety has also been linked to obesity, as higher anxiety values have been reported in obese populations compared with a control group . Positive correlations were also found between percentage of body fat and the severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with metabolic syndrome .…”

Significant features of basal and maximal energy expenditure parameters in obese adults

“…Faintuch et al (22) found that aerobic capacity was more markedly diminished in seriously obese bariatric candidates. In another study (23), VO 2 max (mL/kg/min) was significantly lower in male and female obese adults compared to normal-weight controls, but VO 2 max (L/min) was not. In addition, VO 2 max (mL/ kg/min) was negatively correlated with BMI and body fat percentage (23).…”

“…In addition, BMI, body fat percentage, and total body fat were negatively correlated at a strong level with VO 2 max (mL/ kg/min) in both male and female groups (Tables 5 and 6). Low maximal aerobic capacity indicates physical inactivity (23). The population statistics of most countries in the world indicate that industrialization and computerization are associated with an increase in sedentariness and, more recently, with a significant shift from healthy weight to overweight (26).…”

Evaluation of daily energy expenditure and health-related physical fitness parameters in patients with cholelithiasis

“…Circumference measurements were taken at anatomical positions with a 7 mm wide tape measure [18]. The tape measure was held parallel to the ground and completely surrounded the part of the body, but it did not compress the subcutaneous fat tissue [16].…”
