“…Obesity occurs when the body takes in more energy than it consumes; over time, the energy balance in the body breaks, resulting in the accumulation of fat in the body (3). Clinical studies have confirmed (4,5) obesity to be an important risk factor for Original Article Influence of high-intensity intermittent training on glycolipid metabolism in obese male college students respiratory diseases and various other conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. In male college students, obesity not only impacts the individual's physical state, but also their psychological state, and even their job or career.…”

Background: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease that increases the risk of developing health problems including respiratory disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. In college students, as well as impacting physical health, obesity can also affect mental health and even students' future careers. Aerobic exercise is an effective way of achieving weight loss; however, for some students, it cannot be maintained over the long term. This study aimed to observe and analyze the influence of high-intensity intermittent training on glycolipid metabolism in obese male college students.Methods: A total of 300 obese male college students were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into the study group and the control group (150 cases in each group). Over 12 weeks, the control group was given routine aerobic exercise intervention, while the study group was given high-intensity intermittent training. The blood sugar level, blood lipid level, and body measurements of the students were measured before and after intervention and compared between the two groups.Results: After 12 weeks of intervention, the body weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), body fat rate (BFR), serum level of insulin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) of the college students were significantly lower than before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in body weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, BMI, or BFR between the two groups (P>0.05). The study group had significantly lower serum levels of TC, TG, and insulin than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions: Aerobic exercise and high-intensity intermittent training both significantly improved the body shape of obese male college students. However, high-intensity intermittent training improved the glycolipid metabolism of obese male college students to a greater extent than aerobic exercise did.

“…Given the strong association between abdominal obesity and CVDs, monitoring its prevalence and time trends is essential to measure progress in reducing NCD risk and identifying high-risk populations. Studies on the prevalence and time trends of abdominal obesity have been conducted across different populations worldwide [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, data from SSA countries is limited, and those that exist are most often localized (cities, regions, and villages) and do not necessarily reflect the national situation [17].…”

Geographical disparities in abdominal obesity (AO) exist in low-income countries due to major demographic and structural changes in urban and rural areas. We aimed to investigate differences in the urban–rural prevalence of AO in the Malawi population between 2009 and 2017. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Malawi 2009 and 2017 STEPS surveys. AO (primary outcome) and very high waist circumference (secondary outcome) were defined using WHO criteria. Prevalence estimates of AO and very high waist circumference (WC) were standardized by age and sex using the age and sex structure of the adult population in Malawi provided by the 2018 census. A modified Poisson regression analysis adjusted for sociodemographic covariates was performed to compare the outcomes between the two groups (urban versus rural). In total, 4708 adults in 2009 and 3054 adults in 2017 aged 25–64 were included in the study. In 2009, the age–sex standardized prevalence of AO was higher in urban than rural areas (40.9% vs 22.0%; adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36–1.67; p < 0.001). There was no significant trend for closing this gap in 2017 (urban 37.0% and rural 21.4%; aPR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.23–1.77; p < 0.001). This urban–rural gap remained and was slightly wider when considering the ‘very high WC’ threshold in 2009 (17.0% vs. 7.1%; aPR, 1.98; 95%CI, 1.58–2.47; p < 0.001); and in 2017 (21.4% vs. 8.3%; aPR, 2.03; 95%CI, 1.56–2.62; p < 0.001). Significant urban–rural differences exist in the prevalence of AO and very high WC in Malawi, and the gap has not improved over the last eight years. More effective weight management strategies should be promoted to reduce health care disparities in Malawi, particularly in urban areas.
