“…Height was measured to the nearest 0.5 cm using a stadiometer, with the participant not wearing footwear. Overweight (24 kg/m 2 ≤ BMI <28 kg/m 2 ) and obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m 2 ) were identified using standard Chinese-specific BMI cutoff values ( Jin et al, 2013 ; Yang et al, 2017 ).…”

Background Although many young Chinese women migrate to urban regions for better opportunities, little is known about the prevalence and awareness of having high blood pressure (HBP) in this population. This study investigated the prevalence, awareness, and factors associated with HBP among young female migrant workers in Central South China. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study to identify HBP (2017 ACC/AHA guidelines) among female migrant workers aged 18–45 years in Central South China. Demographics, anthropometric measurements, hypertension-related lifestyle, awareness of HBP, and blood pressure were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with HBP (blood pressure ≥ 130/80 mmHg). Results Overall, 232 female migrants participated in the study (mean age 34.4; standard deviation: 6.4 years). The prevalence of HBP was 27.2% (95% CI [21.6–33.2]), and 88.9% of the participants were unaware of their HBP status. Having rural medical insurance (odds ratio [OR] = 20.7; 95% confidence interval 95% CI [2.1–204.8]), awareness of having HBP (OR = 5.1; 95% CI [1.4–18.5]), physical inactivity (OR = 2.9; 95% CI [1.1–7.9]), and being overweight/obese (OR = 2.7; 95% CI [1.3–6.1]) were independently associated with HBP. Conclusions This study revealed a high prevalence of HBP among young Chinese female migrant workers, as well as a high frequency of being unaware of their condition and some associated factors (rural medical insurance, awareness of having HBP, physical inactivity, and overweight/obesity). The uncontrolled HBP among young Chinese female migrant workers suggested that health education needs further promotion in such a population.

“…Te weight loss results in reduced blood pressure, improved lipids, and reduced diabetes incidence. Hence, it becomes imperative to manage and treat obesity in its nascent stage [68]. It is important to know that the cost of obesity increases not only due to comorbidities but also due to absenteeism, disability, early death, and other factors attributed to obesity.…”

The prevalence of overweight and obesity has more than doubled since 1980, and it is predicted that around two-thirds of the global burden of the disease will be attributed to chronic non-communicable diseases. Developing countries are experiencing a more dramatic rise in the prevalence of obesity in recent years. As per National Family Health Survey-5 (NFHS-5), one in every four Indians is now having obesity. It has been reported that being overweight and obese is a significant problem among different socioeconomic spectrums of men and women in India, especially among the elderly, people residing in urban regions, and diverse socioeconomic strata. There is an urgent need to identify obesity as a chronic disease requiring immediate attention, mandating timely screening, timely treatment, and economical ways of achieving and managing weight loss across the country. In this review, the authors have discussed various aspects of overweight and obesity and critically appraised the current status of obesity in India, its public health implications, the significance of screening, the role of BMI and other parameters in diagnosing obesity, and the need for treatment and cost-effective prescriptions.

“…Different diet and exercise management methods play an important role in the intervention of simple obesity. [15][16][17][18] Nowadays, the combination of online and offline health education has been realized through multimedia education, telephone interviews, offline lectures, and other ways. Obesity related health education content includes the cognition of disease, diet structure, physical exercise, regular work and rest, psychological intervention, and so on.…”

Background:The incidence of simple obesity is increasing annually, with the number of obese people in all age groups increasing significantly. Obesity has become an important public health concern. Simple obesity affects not only appearance but also health. Obesity has an increasing impact on individuals, families, and society. Therefore, the treatment of obesity is becoming increasingly important. Prior studies have shown that Tuina combined with diet and exercise is capable of producing improvements in body weight and fasted health markers. In recent years, there are many clinical studies on the intervention of simple obesity by Tuina combined with diet and exercise, however, no study systematically evaluated the clinical efficacy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate its effects of Tuina combined with diet and exercise on people with simple obesity.Methods:We will search the following electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of science, Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, CBM, CNKI, and VIP from the inception of the coverage of these databases to December 2021. Randomized controlled clinical trials related to Tuina combined with diet and exercise intervention on simple obesity will be included. Cochrane's collaboration tool will be used to assess the quality of the studies. RevMan 5.3 software will be used for the data analysis.Results:This study will provide a standardized evaluation for the efficacy of Tuina combined with diet and exercise for simple obesity.Conclusion:The conclusion of this study will provide evidence for the safety and effectiveness of Tuina combined with diet and exercise on weight loss.Ethics and dissemination:Ethical approval is not required for systematic review and meta- analysis. The results of this review will be disseminated in a peer-review journal.PROSPERO registration number:INPLASY202210079.
