“…In exploring the association between BMI and multimorbidity, previous studies reported different findings for males and females. For example, a study in older adults showed significant differences between genders in the estimates of NCDs and in the association between NCDs, multimorbidity and BMI [ 16 ]. However, another study in Serbian adults did not support the gender differences [ 6 ].…”

(1) Background: Multimorbidity, defined as the occurrence of two or more chronic diseases, is a global public health problem which has a significant negative impact on individuals, families and the society. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between overweight, obesity and the prevalence of multimorbidity among male and female older adults; (2) Methods: Cross-sectional data of the 7070 participants from China, aged 60 years and above included in 2017 the Shandong Elderly Family Health Service Survey were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between overweight, obesity and the prevalence of multimorbidity in males and females; (3) Results: Among the 7070 participants, of which 40.25% were males and 59.75% were females, the average age of all participants was (69.81 ± 6.45) years old. The prevalence of multimorbidity in older adults was 34.71%, and the overweight and obesity rates were 39.25% and 16.89%. Among the male elderly, the likelihood of multimorbidity was more than two times higher among the obese than the normal BMI population (OR: 2.14; 95%CI: 1.63–2.82). A less strong association was found in the overweight male older population (OR: 1.43; 95%CI: 1.18–1.74). In the females, compared with individuals with normal BMI, the risks for incident multimorbidity were high in the overweight and obese groups, with odds ratios of 1.42 (95%CI: 1.21–1.65) and 1.81 (95%CI: 1.51–2.17), respectively. (4) Conclusions: In this study, overweight and obesity had the strongest association with the prevalence of multimorbidity among Chinese older adults, and the associations were different between the male and female elderly. The prevalence of multimorbidity might be effectively prevented by controlling body mass index. Encouraging the elderly to eat the recommended amount of vegetables and fruits, walk at least 30 min a day and have enough sleep to maintain a healthy weight.

“…Figures generated indicated that all mean anthropometric measures were towards higher sides both in men and women. Evidences reported the association of extended anthropometry measurements with hypertension [20,21], cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndromes [22][23][24], heart failure [25,26] and diabetes [26,27]. A WHO expert consultation [14] reviewed scientific evidence that suggested Asian populations have different associations between BMI, percentage of body fat, and health risks than do European populations.…”

Objective: Assessment of sodium consumption at population level and to explore the usefulness of the method by comparing the sodium assessment by dietary recall method with sodium excretion in 24-hour urine sample. Methods: Two hundred subjects were selected by purposive sampling on the basis of selection criteria. Sodium consumption was assessed by self reported 24 hour dietary recall method and through assessment of sodium excreted in 24 hours urine sample. Results:The mean sodium consumption assessed by dietary method and 24 hours urinary sodium excretion was (3840.6±1810.1 and 4796.3±3303.3 mg/day respectively) very high. Sodium consumption obtained by two mentioned methods was significantly different. Discussion and conclusion:The average sodium intake was very high than the recommended intake. The sodium intake assessed by dietary method was found to be under-estimated. Twenty four hours urinary sodium excretion can be the best method to measure sodium consumption at population level.

O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar um ponto de corte do tempo gasto em comportamento sedentário como discriminador da presença de diabetes mellitus na população idosa. Métodos: estudo transversal, de base populacional, com dados de 310 idosos de baixa renda de Ibicuí-BA, Brasil, selecionados aleatoriamente. O comportamento sedentário foi avaliado pelo tempo gasto na semana e no fim de semana, e o diabetes foi avaliado por autorrelato. Os dados foram analisados pela estatística descritiva, Curva ROC e regressão de Poisson (p ≤ 0,05). O tempo médio gasto em atividades sedentárias foi de 272,63 ± 163,71 min / dia. A prevalência geral de diabetes foi de 13,5%. As características sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida e presença de diabetes não demonstraram associação estatisticamente significante (p> 0,05). A área sob a curva ROC foi de 0,60, IC 95% (0,54-0,65) ep = 0,003 e o ponto de corte foi> 325 min / dia que melhor discriminou a presença de diabetes mellitus entre os idosos. A análise bruta e ajustada para a associação entre comportamento sedentário e diabetes não revelou associação entre as variáveis. Identificou-se que o tempo despendido no comportamento sedentário possui boa capacidade discriminatória para a presença de diabetes mellitus. Por outro lado, não houve associação entre o primeiro e a presença de diabetes, após ajuste pelas variáveis intervenientes.
