“…High BMI in our study population was associated with higher pain and disability, lower functional capacity and lower QoL. These findings are comparable to a large body of evidence reporting negative consequences for QoL in individuals with higher BMI 383,384,[385][386][387] . The BMI of more than 65% of participants in the symptomatic group exceeded values for normal weight (>24.99 kg/m 2 ) 388 .…”

Musculoskeletal conditions are prevalent worldwide and are associated with pain, disability and impaired quality of life (QoL). Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, costly and disabling musculoskeletal condition. Lower limb OA research has focussed on the hip and knee and, as a consequence, impairments characterising ankle OA are not well understood.This thesis aims to advance our understanding of the physical, functional and psychological impairments and associated disability in individuals with persistent ankle symptoms and in those with radiographic evidence of ankle OA. Study 1: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was conducted to synthesise and appraise the quality of studies investigating physical impairments in ankle OA. The review identified eight studies, three of which were included in the meta-analyses. Meta-analyses revealed large impairments of ankle sagittal plane range of motion (ROM) on the affected compared to the unaffected side and less sagittal plane torque in ankle OA compared to controls. Evidence from single studies indicated deficits in frontal plane ROM and strength, talar translation and rotation, balance, electromyography of ankle muscles, abnormal bony alignments and greater fatty infiltrate in all calf muscle compartments in individuals with ankle OA. Critical appraisal of the literature revealed limitations surrounding assessor blinding, measurement validity, and lack of generalization. Study 2: A cross-sectional laboratory study of 96 participants compared physical measures of function, strength, ROM and posture and patient-reported outcomes in 1) individuals with symptoms and radiographic evidence of ankle OA to asymptomatic individuals; and 2) asymptomatic individuals with and without radiographic evidence of ankle OA. Those with symptomatic OA reported greater pain, disability, instability, kinesiophobia, lower function and QoL, and exhibited significant deficits in muscle strength, ROM and ambulatory function compared to asymptomatic individuals. Most patient-reported and physical outcomes were similar between asymptomatic individuals with and without radiographic OA. Stair function times were significantly associated with QoL and self-reported function. ii Study 3: A cross-sectional exploratory survey (n=394) was conducted to compare selfreported daily living and sports function, ankle pain and disability, physical activity, ankle instability, and QoL between individuals with and without persistent ankle pain and stiffness, and to explore factors associated with QoL. Individuals with ankle symptoms reported worse scores for all measures, except self-reported physical activity. Daily living function and age explained 66% of the variance in QoL. Study 4: Individuals with and without persistent ankle pain and stiffness (n= 231) participated in an online survey to obtain data about pain severity, pain self-efficacy, anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, and function. Individuals with persistent ankle pain reported higher pain and depressive symptoms, an...

“…The current results in congregant with [25] revealed significant decrease in quality of life among adolescent Saudi females with increased body mass. Similarly, [39] reported negative correlation between BMI and total score of quality of life among adult males and females in Brazil. Moreover, other studies were supported to the present study; the findings of [40] indicated negative association between body mass index, waist-hip ratio, body fat and health-related quality of life among Greek healthy adult males and females.…”

Overweight and obesity are received a great concern and becoming a high priority globally. Obesity is associated with diversity of health problem as well as decline in quality of life. This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of obesity; the association between body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and quality of life. The design used in this study was descriptive correlational design. Study subjects were convenience samples of 310 adult female recruited from female colleges in Wadi Addawasir. The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire that consisted of socio-demographic data, participants' weight perception, World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQOL-Brief) and anthropometric measurements included weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference. The main findings of this study indicated that the prevalence of general obesity according to BMI was 29.7%, and abdominal obesity according to WC, and WHR were 34.2% and 35.5%, respectively. A statistically significant difference between participants' weight perception and the existing BMI, X 2 = 50.52, P = 0.00, indicated participants misperception of their weight. The mean total score of WHOQOL-Brief scale was (70.01±11.31) and social relationships domain was the highest score, the mean = 73.02 ± 17.10, while lowest score was psychological domain, the mean = 64.76 ± 13.73. Moreover, 32.3% of subjects good quality of life, while only 3.9% had poor quality of life. A significant negative correlation was revealed between BMI, WC, WHR and total score of quality of life, p = -.012,.033,.012 respectively. Moreover, the participants with increased BMI had decreased quality of life compared to those of normal BMI F = 3.209, P =.023. Conclusion: General and abdominal obesity were highly prevalent among adult Saudi females as measured by BMI, WHR. Misperception of weight was revealed and minority of subjects had good quality of life. Obesity was associated with significant decrease in quality of life. Recommendation: Effective health education strategies are required to help in increase females' awareness and perception of their weight, thus affecting their decisions and behaviors to minimize obesity and its negative influences on their health and consequently their quality of life.

“…A obesidade, por sua vez, trata-se de um acúmulo de gordura corporal muito acima do índice de massa magra, a qual pode aumentar o risco de desenvolvimento de diversas patologias, tais como diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial, cardiopatias, dificuldades respiratórias, além de outras complicações. Pode ter origem genética, mas é causada principalmente por uma dieta excessivamente calórica associada a um baixo gasto de energia, criando assim reservas energéticas no tecido adiposo, as quais podem afetar a vida do indivíduo em âmbitos físicos, psicológicos, sociais e ambientais, influenciando diretamente em sua qualidade de vida 3 . A prevalência de sub e hipernutrição vêm sofrendo alterações em escala mundial, ao que muitos cientistas se referem por "transição nutricional".…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Verificar possível associação entre o perfil hematológico e o estado nutricional de trabalhadores e seus filhos. Metodologia: Estudo transversal composto por 25 pais e seus respectivos filhos (25). Avaliou-se índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência da cintura (CC), circunferência do quadril (CQ) e relação cintura-quadril (RCQ). Para os indicadores hematológicos, avaliou-se a hemoglobina e o hematócrito. Resultados: 13 pais e 6 filhos apresentam sobrepeso/obesidade e 9 pais e 3 filhos apresentam CC elevada. Entre os filhos, 11 apresentam hemoglobina aumentada e 7 hematócrito aumentado. Não foi observada relação entre os indicadores antropométricos e hematológicos de pais e seus filhos. Com relação aos pais, observou-se relação significativa entre RCQ com hemoglobina (p=0,002) e hematócrito (p=0,020). Entre os filhos, a CC associou-se com a hemoglobina (p=0,046) e com o hematócrito (p=0,016). Conclusão: Não foi encontrada relação dos indicadores antropométricos e hematológicos entre pais e filhos. Por outro lado, os indicadores antropométricos e hematológicos mostraram associação nos pais e nos filhos .Descritores: Anemia; Obesidade; Adulto; Criança; Adolescente. RELAÇÃO ENTRE INDICADORES ANTROPOMÉTRICOS E HEMATOLÓGICOS DE PAIS E SEUS FILHOS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTHROPOMETRIC AND HEMATOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDRENABSTRACT Objective: To verify the possible association between hematological profile and nutritional status of workers and their children. Methodology: Cross-sectional study composed of 25 parents and their respective children (25). Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HR) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were evaluated. For hematological indicators, hemoglobin and hematocrit were evaluated. Results: 13 fathers and 6 children were overweight/obese and 9 fathers and 3 children had elevated WC. Among children, 11 have increased hemoglobin and 7 increased hematocrit. There was no relation between the anthropometric and hematological indicators of parents and their children. Regarding the parents, there was a significant relationship between WHR with hemoglobin (p = 0.002) and hematocrit (p = 0.020). Among children, CC was associated with hemoglobin (p = 0.046) and hematocrit (p = 0.016). Conclusion: No correlation was found between anthropometric and hematological indicators between parents and children.
