“…And the incidence of bad vital capacity weight index in normal weight, underweight, overweight and obese groups was 15.66, 5.15, 37.47, and 66.35%, respectively. These results indicated that the abnormal weight status was a strong risk factor for high BP and bad vital capacity weight index, which was generally in agreement with the previous results [31] , where a study covered Jiangsu province (North, South, Central) with approximately 255,581 244 students aged (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) years, in urban and rural regions. And this suggested that the prevalence of high BP and bad vital capacity weight index in less developed regions was comparable with the prevalence of these parameters in highly developed regions.…”

Aims: To examine the association of weight status with the prevalence of blood pressure (BP), vital capacity, dental decay, and visual acuity among school-age children in Chengdu, China and to find the potential role of weight status to predict the common and frequently occurring diseases among school-age children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 12,297 children aged 6-18 years from 10 schools in the Jinniu District of Chengdu, China. Body height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and BP were measured. Vital capacity, dental decay, and visual acuity were detected. Results: The overall prevalence of underweight, overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity, high BP, bad vital capacity weight index, dental decay, and low vision were 7.18, 13.47, 7.57, 18.90, 2.78, 21.93, 38.81, and 45.79%, respectively. After controlling for age, gender, and WC, it was found that overweight and obese children had a higher risk of developing high BP than normal weight children ([OR 4.20, p < 0.001] and [OR 8.76, p < 0.001], respectively), And adjusting for age, gender, and chest circumference, the risk of having bad vital capacity weight index among children with overweight and obesity was higher ([OR 2.15, p < 0.001] and [OR 5.40, p < 0.001], respectively), and the risk with underweight was lower (OR 0.35, p < 0.001). After eliminating the influential factors of gender and age, children who were underweight were 1.16 times (OR 1.16, p = 0.048) more likely to have caries than children with normal weight, but obese children were found to have a lower prevalence for dental cavities than children with normal weight (OR 0.79, p = 0.002). Underweight and obese children had a higher prevalence of low vision; the OR of the appearance of low vision was 1.21 (p = 0.016) for underweight children and 1.23 (p = 0.009) for obese children after adjusting the age and gender. Conclusions: Abnormal weight status among Chengdu urban school-age children was found to be a severe health problem, and it was strongly associated with BP, vital capacity, dental decay, and visual acuity.

“…In China, the prevalence of hypertension was 17.7% in 2002 and it was estimated that the direct economic burden reached 31.89 billion RMB [7] . Adult hypertension and the adverse effects of elevated BP on vascular structure and function may start very early in life [8] .…”

This research aims to establish the reference values of genitometric parameters in young men of the pubertant period living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the peculiarities of their relation with somatometric and physiometric indicators. 74 young men of Yakut nationality were examined by standard research methods: anthropometry, dynamometry, spirometry, assessment of body composition by bioimpedansiometry and ultrasound of testicular research. Anthropometric parameters have the highest variability, physiometric parameters are the most stable. In two groups of young men with normal and elevated BMI values, differences in component body composition were shown. The most stable were the indicators of body fluids, mineral mass, the most variable is fat mass. Among the genitometric indicators, the most variable were the length of the testicles, the most stable and independently varying are the shyrotic size of the testicles. All orchidometric indicators of the study groups had statistically significant bilateral differences with their right-hand predominance. The results of the research can be applied to facilitate standardization of the assessment of growth, adolescent development of clinical pediatrics and in the field of public health. Obtained data of genitometric indices can be used as reference values in andrological practice for assessment of development and compliance with age norms in diagnosis of disorders.
