“…The curve regression analysis of BMI and PFI showed that there was an inverted “U” curve relationship between BMI and PFI in Tibetan children and adolescents in high-altitude areas. Our findings are consistent with the conclusions of several studies [ 9 , 14 ]. Compared with girls, the curve relationship of boys is more “steep”, which also shows that the impact of malnutrition and obesity on physical fitness of Tibetan boys is significantly higher than that of girls; especially the impact of BMI on PFI in boys in Lhasa and Nyingchi is more obvious, namely steeper.…”

“…For example, a study analyzed the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and waist circumference in Chinese children and adolescents; cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by 20 m shuttle run test, and the analysis showed that the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and waist circumference showed an inverted “U” curve [ 8 ]. With the deepening of research, in recent years, the use of physical fitness index (PFI), which comprehensively reflects the level of physical fitness, has gradually increased, and the relationship between physical fitness index and health has been deeply analyzed [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Objective: To investigate the relationship between physical fitness index (PFI) and body mass index (BMI) of Tibetan children and adolescents in different high-altitude areas in Tibet, China. Methods: Using the stratified cluster sampling method, 3819 Tibetan children and adolescents from three different high-altitude areas including Nyingchi, Lhasa and Nagqu in the Tibet area of China were given grip strength, standing long jump, sitting forward bend, 50 m running and endurance running tests. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the physical fitness index in different high-altitude areas. In addition, the method of curve regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between PFI and BMI. Results: In general, the level of PFI in Nagqu, Tibet, China was lower than that in Nyingchi and Lhasa, and the levels of girls were generally lower than those of boys. The proportions of malnourished, normal, overweight and obese Tibetan boys in high-altitude areas were 11.8%, 79.7%, and 8.5%; those of girls were 3.3%, 82.3%, and 14.4%, respectively. The curve regression analysis showed that the model fitting of male Nyingchi, Lhasa, Nagqu and female Nyingchi, Lhasa, Nagqu were all significant (F values were 29.697, 34.709, 37.500, 9.123, 9.785, 6.939, p < 0.01). The relationship between BMI and PFI generally showed an inverted “U” curve relationship. Conclusion: The negative impact of overweight and obesity on physical fitness of Tibetan boys in high-altitude areas is significantly higher than that of girls, and the negative impact of overweight and obesity on physical fitness of boys in Lhasa and Nyingchi area is more significant than that in the Nagqu area. In the future, attention should be paid to Lhasa and the occurrence of overweight and obesity among Tibetan boys in Nyingchi area in order to prevent the sharp decline of physical fitness and promote the physical and mental development of Tibetan children and adolescents in high-altitude areas.

“…These demographics can be helpful in achieving a HRQoL [13,14]. As mentioned above, of the 736 middle-aged women respondents, 312 were having normal BMI (86.4 %), whereas underweight was 4.1% and for overweight was only 9.5%.…”

Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the impacts of self-efficacy and behavioral changes on exercise that may affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of middle-aged Malaysian women. Methods:A questionnaire-based data collection was performed from October 2013 to March 2014 in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. SPSS (v. 21.0) was used to analyze the data after recording body mass index, general health, physical health status, self-efficacy and self-awareness associated to HRQoL. Correlation between the parameters was calculated using Pearson's correlation coefficients, and the reliability test was conducted using Cronbach's alpha (α). Results are mentioned as significant when P values are found to be <0.05. Results:Findings of the study indicated, though women of Klang Valley suffer from few health problems, they prefer exercise to maintain their HRQoL. It has been observed that self-efficacy and behavioral changes for exercise related quality of life are affected by several factors, such as education, monthly income, marital status, and even ethnicity. Conclusions:This study portrays that women of Klang Valley, Malaysia, are inflicted with quite a good self-efficacy to exercise, which impacts their HRQoL.
