“…Obesity is characterized by an excessive amount of adipose tissue, which is the main risk factor for the development of metabolic complications [1,2]. The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly worldwide: between 1980 and 2013, overweight and obesity increased from 28.8% to 36.9% in adult men, and from 29.8% to 38.0% in adult women [3].…”

A high consumption of soft drinks (SDs) has been linked with the development of anthropometric and metabolic alterations. We evaluate the association between SD consumption and some anthropometric and metabolic variables. This study is an observational study, using a sample of 394 university students, of which 158 were men (40.1%) and 238 women (59.9%), between 18 and 30 years. An SD intake questionnaire provided the consumption of different SDs. The participants’ weight, height, and waist and hip circumferences were collected. Metabolic biomarkers were analyzed. The average intake of caloric SDs (CSDs) was 1193.6 ± 1534.8 mL/week and 84.5 ± 115.02 mL/week for non-caloric SDs (NCSDs). Sex differences were found in the amount of SD consumption and these statistical differences were driven by those men subjects with a high total body fat percentage (TBF%). In men, correlations were found between the intake of CSDs and the body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, TBF%, and visceral fat percentage. In woman, a correlation was found with glucose and triglycerides. The prediction model revealed that the intake of CSDs predicts TBF% and low-density lipoprotein only in men. A high amount of CSD consumption in men was associated with a high TBF%, and this may be predictive of future development of metabolic abnormalities.

“…Only regular controls can detect early signs of CKD, which enables the health professionals to slow down its progression. In addition, early detection of CKD and its proper treatment are important not only for the slowing down of CKD progression, but also for the prevention of development of comorbid conditions associated with CKD, especially cardiovascular diseases [37]. In all this, general practitioners, who treat most of the patients at risk for CKD, play the major role and must accept, understand and, in close cooperation with the patients, implement all of the measures recommended by the guidelines.…”

Introduction. Academy of Medical Science of Serbian Medical Societyintroduced collaboration between Belgrade nephrologistsand general practitioners with the aim of examining the prevalenceof chronic kidney disease (CKD) in populations at risk as well as ofchecking whether collaboration with general practitioners contributedto implementation of regular CKD screening.Methods. The research encompassed two studies carried out infour Belgrade Primary Health Care Centers. The screening study involved619 patients at risk for CKD (348 with hypertension, 206 withdiabetes, 65 persons aged > 60 years without hypertension/diabetes)in whom glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated byMDRD formula, while urine dipstick test was used for detection ofproteinuria and albuminuria (Micral-test® strips).The second studywas retrospective analysis of medical records of 450 patients whowere examined in the screening study and whose blood pressureand eGFR recording were analyzed during three-year period.Results. In screening study, eGFR below 60 ml/min/1.73m2 wasdetected in 121 (19.55%) and albuminuria in 242 (39.10%) patients.During three-year retrospective study, percentage of patientswhose blood pressure and eGFR were recorded decreasedfrom 42% to 22% and from 42% to 18%, respectively. Multivariateregression analysis selected health center, systolic blood pressureand hypertension as the variables significantly associated with thenumber of years in which blood pressure was recorded, while malegender, health center, hypertension and basal eGFR as variablesassociated with the number of years in which eGFR was recorded.Conclusion. Despite collaboration between nephrologists andgeneral practitioners in screening study, the retrospective threeyearstudy revealed insufficient recording of blood pressure andeGFR in patients’ medical records.
