“…[24] Few similar researches have been done in medical students, results of which are corroborative with the present one. [25,26] The college students are more vulnerable to sleep disorders, as they are facing great academic pressure, social pressure, new environment, erratic schedules, and lifestyle changes. Most of the studies examining sleep among them have focused on the relationship between sleep habits and academic performance and mental health problems with the recognition that they are experiencing sleep problems that negatively impact their health and well-being.…”

Background: The prevalence of sleep deprivation is rising globally as is that of obesity. The association between the two is also gaining much evidence. The medical students may be specifically affected due to decreased sleep duration. Aims and Objectives:The aim is to study the association between decreased sleep duration and obesity by means of body mass index (BMI) as a measure of obesity among the medical students. Materials and Methods: This is a crosssectional study among 199 medical students. The participants reported their sleep duration, and their height and weight were noted. BMI was calculated from data obtained. Students were categorized according to BMI into underweight, normal, overweight, and obese and according to sleep duration into >8 h, 6-8 h, and <6 h per night. Statistical analysis was done using ANOVA and unpaired t-test using GraphPad software, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: About 22.6% of the participants had a BMI >25 kg/m

“…Unlike most cellulose originating from secondary‐wall fibers, the cellulose obtained from SBP is a typical primary‐wall cellulose . SBP has been traditionally employed as an excellent emulsifier, thickener or stabilizer, along with a number of potential non‐food industrial applications . Dufresne et al showed that SBP can produce films with good appearance and satisfactory mechanical properties; it appears to have good potential as a film forming agent.…”

In this study, interaction and compatibility between sugar-beet pulp (SBP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in blend films was assessed. Film-forming dispersions of different ratios of SBP to PVA (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, and 25/75) were cast at room temperature. The effects of adding PVA to SBP on the resulting film's physical, mechanical and barrier properties and thermal stability were investigated. X-ray diffraction and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the composites. When PVA was also added to the composite films, the films became softer, less rigid and more stretchable than pure SBP films. The addition of PVA gave significantly greater elongation at break (12.45%) and lower water vapor permeability (1.55 3 10 210 g s 21 m 21 Pa 21 ), but tensile strength did not markedly change, remaining around 59.68 MPa. Thermogravimetric analysis also showed that SBP/PVA film had better thermal stability than SBP film. The ESEM results showed that the compatibility of SBP50/PVA50 was better than those of other composite films. These results suggest that when taking all the studied variables into account, composite films formulated with 50% PVA are most suitable for various packaging applications.

“…This study shows that there is statically significant association between short sleep duration and overweight/obesity. Tapaswini Mishra et al 18 in their study showed an association between short sleep duration and obesity which was highly significant. Sanjay R. Patel et al 19 in a systematic review of crosssectional and cohort studies of children found that short sleep duration is strongly and consistently associated with concurrent and future obesity.…”

Background: Sleep disturbance has been shown to cause metabolic and endocrine alternations. Sleep has been known to influence the physical and emotional well being of adolescents by causing substantial biological and psychosocial changes. According to recent estimates, the worldwide prevalence of obesity has doubled since 1980. Lack of adequate sleep predisposes overweight and obesity. Growing evidence suggests that short sleep duration is a risk factor for obesity and its complications. Objective: The objective was to investigate the association between self-reported usual sleep duration and the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the adolescents of Rewa city, M.P. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional community-based study was conducted among 744 adolescents aged 10-19 years from Rewa city M.P. India using modified questionnaire and standardized anthropometric measures through house-to-house visits. Data was entered in Microsoft Excel sheet, analysed and interpreted using descriptive statistics. Results: In our study significantly higher prevalence of overweight/obesity was found among subjects sleeping < 6hours as compared to those sleeping 6 to 8 hours in night. Conclusion: Short sleep duration would get exaggerated with increase in weight gain and incident overweight/obesity. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms by which sleep duration may affect weight.
