“…There are con icting links between alcohol consumption and obesity. This study, however, demonstrated statistically signi cant positive associations between alcohol use and central obesity, consistent with the ndings of previous studies [21,23,37,45,46]. Alcohol is considered a nontrivial energy source that may lead to a positive energy balance, weight gain, and eventually the emergence of obesity among drinkers [21,42,47,48].…”

“…The overall magnitude of central obesity in this study was lower than the prevalence of central obesity among public service workers in Bedele town [23], the pooled prevalence of central obesity among adult populations in Ethiopia [32], and the prevalence of central obesity among health service providers and public transportation workers in Nigeria and Peru [20,33].…”

“…In Ethiopia, being overweight or obese is rapidly becoming one of the public health concerns as it directly linked to non-communicable diseases [21]. Studies showed that 32.1% of teachers in Addis Ababa [22], 54.7% of public service workers in Bedele town [23], and 37.6% of adult urban residents in Northwest Ethiopia were obese [4].…”

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing, contributing to 678 million obese adults and rapidly increasing in lower-income countries. This study assessed the magnitude of central obesity and associated factors among public service office employees in Adama Town in the Oromia Region in Ethiopia. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to February 26, 2020, among 590 public service employees. The data were collected by using interviewer-administered questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The data were coded, entered, cleaned, and entered into Epi Info version 7, and subsequently exported to SPSS version 26 for statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to check the associations between the explanatory and outcome variables. The adjusted odds ratio at a 95% confidence interval was used to estimate the strength of associations. A P value < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results The overall prevalence of central obesity among public service office employees was 24.2% (95% CI: 20.9, 27.8), with 29.9% in males and 14.9% in females. The multivariate analysis showed that using motorized transportation (AOR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.147, 4.459), eating food out of the home (AOR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.089, 2.735), drinking alcohol (AOR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.080, 3.038), being aged 33–42 years (AOR = 4.76, 95% CI = 2.513, 9.047), 43–52 years (AOR = 5.56, 95% CI = 2.850, 10.878) and 53 years and above (AOR = 13.25, 95% CI = 5.057, 34.747), not engaging in moderate physical activity (AOR = 2.34, 95% CI = 1.507, 3.653) and having a chronic illness (AOR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.154, 3.200) were statistically associated with central obesity among public service office employees in the study area. Conclusion Nearly 25% of public service employees in the town had central obesity, which is a risk factor for metabolic syndromes. Mode of transportation, eating food out of home, drinking alcohol, age, level of physical activity, and presence of chronic illnesses were found to be independent predictors of central obesity. The public administration in the town should design a feasible preventive strategy to reduce the burden of obesity among public service employees in the study setting.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) combined with hyperuricemia remitted 1 year after CRC surgery. CRC patients combined with hyperuricemia who underwent radical surgery were included from a single clinical center from Jan 2016 to Dec 2021. Baseline characteristics was compared between the remission group and the non-remission group. Multivariate logistic regression was used to find the possible predictive factors of hyperuricemia remission. A total of 91 patients were included for data analysis, retrospectively. There were 34 (37.4%) patients in the remission group and 57 (62.6%) patients in the non-remission group. The mean preoperative weight and body mass index (BMI) were 61.2 ± 10.7 (kg) and 24.1 ± 3.3 (kg/m2). 21 (23.1%) patients had a history of drinking. We found that the weight and BMI were not significantly different before and 1 year after CRC surgery (P > 0.05). In contrast, uric acid values were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the outcomes showed there were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the remission and non-remission groups (P > 0.05). According to multivariate logistic regression, we found that the history of drinking was a predictive factor of hyperuricemia remission (OR = 0.046, 95% CI 0.005–0.475, P = 0.010). CRC patients with hyperuricemia had a 37.4% remission from hyperuricemia 1 year after CRC surgery. Tumor location, tumor stage, and tumor size did not predict the remission of hyperuricemia. Notably, the history of drinking was a predictive factor of hyperuricemia remission.

Giriş: Günümüzde dijital teknolojilerin gelişmesiyle birlikte iş yerlerinde çalışanların çoğu hareketsiz yaşam tarzını benimsemeye başlamıştır. Hareketsiz yaşam tarzının masa başı çalışanlarda, obezite başta olmak üzere, olumsuz birçok sağlık sorununa neden olduğu görülmektedir. Hareketsiz yaşam tarzı dışında psikolojik durumun da yeme tutumunu etkilediği belirtilmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı masa başı çalışanlarda emosyonel durum ve yeme tutumu arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: 186 idari personel ile yapılan bu çalışmada bireylerin beyana dayalı antropometrik ölçümleri, genel sağlık durumları, besin tüketim alışkanlıkları sorgulanmıştır. Bunların yanı sıra Depresyon Anksiyete Stres (DAS) Ölçeği kullanılarak katılımcıların emosyonel durumları; Yeme tutumu testi (YTT-40) kullanılarak katılımcıların yeme bozukluğu riskleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %65,1'i evlidir ve yaş ortalaması 34,05±7,52 olarak bulunmuştur. Bireylerin DAS puanları incelediğinde %58,1’inin depresyon, %42,5’inin anksiyete ve %66,1’inin de stresi normal derecede yaşadığı görülmüştür. Kadınların ve bekârların depresyon ve stres puanları anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir. Bekârlarda ayrıca anksiyete puanları da daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Karbonhidrat ağırlıklı beslenmeyi tercih eden bireylerin depresyon puanlarının protein ağırlıklı/bol posalı/bol yağlı/dengeli beslenenlere göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. YTT puanı ≥30 olan bireylerin depresyon, anksiyete, stres puanlarının da daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Masa başı çalışanlarda sağlıksız yeme davranışları, düzensiz beslenme ve öğün atlama alışkanlıkları; dengesiz ve yetersiz beslenmeye neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle beslenme yetersizlikleri ve dengesizliğinin önlenebilmesi açısından, çalışan bireylerin iş stresi ve beslenme ile ilgili farkındalıklarının yükseltilmesi ve sağlıklı beslenme konularında danışmanlık hizmetlerinin sağlanması faydalı olacaktır.
