“…It was explained in studies that adult lifestyles and patterns are mostly driven by conscious choices, but it strongly depends on the socioeconomic status and the environment in which they reside [ 13 ]. Lower socioeconomic status is an established risk factor for obesity [ 14 ] but results from a population-based cohort study done in Norway revealed that the BMI of offspring is independent of parental education [ 15 ]. In this current study, we tried to explore the involvement of parental education, especially medical and non-medical background, on the BMI of their offspring and found that it did not have an impact.…”

Background Internship is the time period when young doctors learn to balance between professional and personal lives. If they have good awareness and practice of any kind of physical activity during this period, it will help them to continue it forward. This enables them to educate and inspire people and patients around them. The main objectives of this study were to assess patterns of physical activity among medical interns and to understand the factors preventing physical activity among them. Methodology This cross-sectional survey was carried out among interns of a tertiary care hospital in western Maharashtra from July 2022 to September 2022. Ethical clearance was obtained before starting data collection. The survey was administered to those who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The questionnaire was adopted from the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. The data collected were entered into Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA) and analysis was done using MedCalc v.18.2.1 (MedCalc Software Ltd, Ostend, Belgium). Results A total of 220 interns were enrolled in the survey, of which 13 were removed due to incomplete data and 28 interns did not participate in the study. Finally, 179 interns were included for analysis in the study. The response rate was 87.27%. The mean age of participants was 23.12 years. The study population consisted of 72 (40.22%) males and 107 (59.78%) females. Among participants, 33 interns (18.44%) were involved in vigorous activity during work, and 108 interns (60.34%) were involved in moderate physical activity during work. The median time of a sedentary lifestyle was 300 minutes per day and was more common among males. Cumulatively busy working schedules and exam preparation were the important reasons for reduced physical activity. Conclusion There is a gap in the practice of physical activity among interns. A sedentary lifestyle was more prevalent among male interns than in female interns. The main constraints were demanding working hours and the pressure of competitive exams. Medical students will become doctors in the future who can advise their patients on healthy lifestyle habits. We recommend that it is necessary to promote physical activity in medical schools and to reinforce the importance of physical exercise in the medical curriculum.

Latar Belakang: Meningkatnya prevalensi obesitas menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan di Indonesia, terutama di kalangan pekerja urban yang sering menjalani gaya hidup sedentari dan menerapkan pola makan yang kurang baik. Tujuan: menganalisis hubungan antara pola makan, tingkat aktivitas fisik, dan obesitas pada pekerja urban di Indonesia. Metode: Pola makan utama dianalisis menggunakan Principal Component Analysis dari 17 item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) yang diisi oleh pekerja urban dalam Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 5. Aktivitas fisik dinilai berdasarkan International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Tinggi dan berat badan diukur untuk mengetahui status gizi berdasarkan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT). Hubungan antara pola makan, tingkat aktivitas fisik, dan obesitas dianalisis menggunakan analisis regresi logistik, disesuaikan dengan variabel perancu potensial. Hasil: Sebanyak 10.806 pekerja urban berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Empat pola makan utama diidentifikasi: pola makan tradisional Indonesia yang ditandai dengan konsumsi nasi, sayuran, dan ikan; pola makan Western yang ditandai dengan tingginya asupan makanan olahan dan minuman manis; pola makan modern yang ditandai dengan konsumsi mi instan, gorengan, dan telur; dan pola makan prudent yang ditandai dengan konsumsi buah dan sayuran. Partisipan yang mengikuti pola makan Western berisiko mengalami obesitas yang lebih tinggi, sedangkan mereka yang mengikuti pola makan prudent menunjukkan risiko obesitas yang lebih rendah. Selain itu, aktivitas fisik yang tidak memadai berisiko mengalami obesitas yang lebih tinggi. Kesimpulan: Penerapan pola makan Western dan aktivitas fisik yang kurang merupakan faktor risiko independen untuk obesitas pada pekerja urban di Indonesia.
