“…In this regard, the OECD adds that, while life expectancy is similar to the rest of the EU, a more detailed analysis shows that Austrians spend fewer years free of disabilities (57 years compared with the average EU of 64 years) and more years with chronic diseases or disabilities compared with their European peers. Indeed, the role of daily PA and a healthy diet as promoters of health in preventing diseases has been underlined in several studies over the past several decades [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Lifestyle behaviors are key contributors to sustainable health and well-being over the lifespan. The analysis of health-related behaviors is crucial for understanding the state of health in different populations, especially teachers who play a critical role in establishing the lifelong health behaviors of their pupils. This multidisciplinary, nationwide study aimed to assess and compare lifestyle patterns of Austrian teachers and school principals at secondary levels I and II with a specific focus on physical activity and diet. A total number of 1350 teachers (1.5% of the eligible Austrian sample; 69.7% females; 37.7% from urban areas; mean age: 45.8 ± 11.4 years; mean BMI: 24.2 ± 4.0) completed a standardized online survey following an epidemiological approach. Across the total sample, 34.4% were overweight/obese with a greater prevalence of overweight/obesity in males than females (49.5% vs. 29.2%, p < 0.01) and rural vs. urban environments (35.9% vs. 31.3%). Most participants (89.3%) reported a mixed diet, while 7.9% and 2.9% were vegetarians and vegans, respectively. The average BMI of teachers with mixed diets (24.4 ± 4.0 kg/m2) was significantly higher than vegetarians (23.1 ± 3.2 kg/m2) and vegans (22.7 ± 4.3 kg/m2). Vegans reported a lower level of alcohol intake (p < 0.05) among dietary groups. There was no between-group difference in smoking (p > 0.05). The prevalence of engagement in regular physical activity was 88.7% for leisure-time sports/exercises and 29.2% for club sports. Compared with the previous reports on general populations, the present data suggest an acceptable overall health status among Austrian teachers.

“…The beneficial effects of PA on several health threats have been well-documented [ 2 ]. It is well-accepted that healthy activity patterns and increased levels of PA, sports, and exercise result in higher cardiorespiratory fitness, and consequently, an improved level of health [ 4 ].…”

“…Additionally, previous evidence has shown that those with higher BMD were associated with higher physical activity; therefore, weight-bearing site BMD, such as the spine and proximal femur are likely to be higher. [34][35][36][37][38] Those with higher physical activity have the potential to stress the articular cartilage of the knee joint to develop KOA. As for the unique point of this study, we evaluated the BMD of the non-weight-bearing site and forearm.…”

Objectives To elucidate the longitudinal relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) at baseline and the change of bone marrow lesion (BML) during a two-year follow-up period (2YFU). Methods Seventy-eight female participants (Mean age: 54.9 ± 9.6) without radiographic knee osteoarthritis were eligible. Based on right-knee MRI, maximum BML area (BMLa) was calculated by tracing BML border. The change in BMLa was defined using the following formula: [2YFU] – [Baseline] = ΔBMLa. Positive ΔBMLa was defined as enlarged; negative ΔBMLa was defined as regressed. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed to measure the BMD of distal radius. Young adult mean [YAM (%)] of the BMD was used for statistical analysis. Linear regression analysis was conducted with ΔBMLa as the dependent variable and YAM as the independent variable. ROC curve and logistic regression analysis were conducted for YAM to predict the prevalence of BML enlargement or regression. Results Twenty-six (33.3%) patients had enlarged BMLa, 12 (15.4%) participants showed regressing BMLa, and 40 (51.3%) patients remained stable. YAM was negatively associated with ΔBMLa (β: − 0.375, P=0.046). The best predictor of BML enlargement risk was 85% YAM; this cut-off could predict the prevalence of BML enlargement (Odds ratio: 8.383, P=0.025). Conclusions Lower BMD could predict BML enlargement during a two-year follow-up period.

“…The NHANES data have been used in many public health and epidemiology studies. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Demographic, physical examination, prescription drug (RXD) and dietary supplement (DS) use 8 , and health insurance information were extracted from NHANES for survey years 2003 -2014 (6 survey cycles). This is the same cycle used in a previous study 33 regarding DS use which allowed for comparison.…”

IntroductionObesity is a common disease and a known risk factor for many other conditions such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Treatment options for obesity include lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, and surgical interventions such as bariatric surgery. In this study, we examine the use of prescription drugs and dietary supplements by the individuals with obesity.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data 2003-2014. We used multivariate logistic regression to analyze the correlations of demographics and obesity status with the use of prescription drugs and dietary supplement use. We also built machine learning models to predict prescription drug and dietary supplement use using demographic data and obesity status.ResultsIndividuals with obesity are more likely to take cardiovascular agents (OR=1.265, 95% CI 1.222-1.311) and metabolic agents (OR=1.398, 95% CI 1.343-1.456) than individuals without obesity. The best performing prediction model for predicting prescription drugs had the accuracy of 74.5% and the AUROC of 0.817.ConclusionsThis study can inform clinical practice and patient education of the use of prescription drugs and dietary supplements and their correlation with obesity.
