Background & Aim: Hypertension is a leading cause of death and disability in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite the fact that type 2 diabetes is more common in City of Mosul-Iraq, little is known about the prevalence of hypertension and the risk factors that go along with it in people with the disease. It was therefore necessary to investigate the prevalence and related variables of hypertension in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods & Materials: For this study, a tertiary care diabetes clinics from November 2021 to April 2022 were surveyed. Patients with type 2 diabetes at the Al Wafa clinics of were included in the study's source population. A systematic interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. SPSS software was used to capture the data. Results: (66.7) percent of the (600) participants were women, with a mean age of 53.84 years and a range of 18 to 68 years, more than a quarter of individuals were current smokers, frequent exercisers with obesity, and more than a third were obese and centrally obese.

“…Obesity is associated with a higher risk of falling in aged populations, 32 and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. 33 However, the potential for loss of bone mineral density and muscle mass associated with weight loss/reduced caloric intake is an important consideration in older adults. In a randomized control trial of a food-based weight loss intervention in patients with obesity aged at least 60 years, the group prescribed a higher proportion of protein in their diet lost a similar amount of weight as the control group, however, had improved physical function (lower-body strength, balance and gait speed) at 6 months.…”

Introduction: Obesity is a major public health concern. Accurate perception of body weight may be critical to the successful adoption of weight loss behavior. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of self-perception of BMI class. Methods: Patients admitted to the acute medical service in one regional hospital completed a questionnaire and classified their weight as: “underweight,” “normal,” “overweight,” or “obese.” Reponses were compared to clinically measured BMIs, based on the WHO Classification. Patients were also questioned about health-related behavior. Data were analyzed via Pearson’s Chi-squared test. Results: Almost 70% of the participating patient population (n = 90) incorrectly perceived their weight category, with 62% underestimating their weight. Only 34% of patients who were overweight and 14% of patients with obesity correctly identified their weight status. Two-thirds of patients who were overweight and one-fifth of patients with obesity considered themselves to be “normal” or “underweight.” Patients with obesity were 6.5-fold more likely to misperceive their weight status. Amongst patients with overweight/obesity, those who misperceived their weight were significantly less likely to have plans to lose weight. Almost 60% had not made any recent health behavior changes. This is one of the first regional Australian studies demonstrating that hospitalized patients significantly misperceive their weight. Conclusion: Patients with overweight/obesity had significantly higher rates of weight misperception and the majority had no intention to lose weight or to undertake any health behavior modification. Given the association between weight perception and weight reduction behavior, it introduces barriers to addressing weight loss and reducing the increasing prevalence of obesity in rural Australia. It highlights that doctors have an important role in addressing weight misperception.

“…It is widely known that PA positively influences quality of life, improving physical and mental fitness and, consequently, may also reduce the emergence and development of CVDs [ 119 ]. CVDs are commonly characterized by glucose metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress and inflammation, whilst PA is known to improve redox status, insulin sensitivity and endothelial function [ 100 ].…”

Cardiovascular diseases constitute the most important public health problem in the world. They are characterized by inflammation and oxidative stress in the heart and blood. Physical activity is recognized as one of the best ways to prevent these diseases, and it has already been applied in treatment. Physical exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic and single and multiple, is linked to the oxidant–antioxidant imbalance; however, this leads to positive adaptive changes in, among others, the increase in antioxidant capacity. The goal of the paper was to discuss the issue of redox equilibrium in the human organism in the course of cardiovascular diseases to systemize updated knowledge in the context of exercise impacts on the organism. Antioxidant supplementation is also an important issue since antioxidant supplements still have great potential regarding their use as drugs in these diseases.
