“…VAI is highly associated with cardiovascular complications and insulin resistance [ 10 ], while body mass index (BMI) is incorrectly considered as a reasonable predictor for body fat percentage regardless of gender because of BMI is not always linked with cardiovascular mortalities [ 11 ]. Moreover, waist circumference (WC) has been regarded as an applicable index in the evaluation of adipose tissue distribution that is highly linked to visceral and abdominal obesity, but cannot distinguish between subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue in the abdominal area [ 12 ].…”

Aim:The objective of this study was to estimate the effect of orlistat alone and in combination with Garcinia cambogia on visceral adiposity index (VAI) in obese patients.Patients and Methods:A total of 99 obese male patients were recruited with aged range between 37 and 46 years. They were randomized into three equal groups, first group treated with orlistat 120 mg/day, second group treated with G. cambogia 166 mg/day, and third group treated with orlistat 120 mg/day plus G. cambogia 166 mg/day. The duration of the treatments was three consecutive months. Body mass index (BMI), VAI, blood pressure, blood glucose, total lipid profile, atherogenic index, and cardiac risk ratio were recorded at baseline and after 3 months.Results:The treatment with G. cambogia leads to reduction in VAI P < 0.05, whereas orlistat has a beneficial effect on cardiometabolic profiles without a reduction in VAI P > 0.05. Combined therapy of G. cambogia plus orlistat showed the more significant effect in reduction of VAI P < 0.05, cardiometabolic profiles and anthropometric measures P < 0.01 compared to pretreatment period.Conclusion:Combination of G. cambogia with orlistat lead to more significant effect than orlistat alone in amelioration of cardiometabolic profile and VAI in obese patients.

“…More than half had detectable viral loads (54.0%), and were under HAART (58.0%). The mean duration (in months) since HAART initiation was 7.8 months (± 4.5; range [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and six patients (11.8%) were on a single tablet regimen. HIV diagnosis took place in 2015 for most patients (68.6%).…”

“…It is important to understand the impact nutritional status has on these patients' physical and mental health (3), since they are known to predict QoL. In the general population, lower anthropometric measurements are not only associated with a lower QoL, but being overweight or obese and having a high waist circumference have also been associated to morbidity and an impaired QoL (8).…”

Key words:HIV. Nutritional status. Quality of life. Palabras clave:VIH. Estado nutricional. Calidad de vida. ResumenIntroducción: el estado nutricional y la evolución del virus de inmunodefi ciencia humana (VIH) están interconectados. A pesar de que algunos estudios hayan visto el impacto del estado nutricional en la calidad de vida (CdV) en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas, pocos han estudiado sus efectos en pacientes infectados de VIH. Objetivo: investigar la relación entre el estado nutricional y la CdV en adultos recientemente diagnosticados de VIH. Métodos: cumplieron los criterios de inclusión los individuos diagnosticados de VIH en los 14 meses previos a una visita al hospital central de Lisboa. El estado nutricional fue evaluado por antropometría, análisis de la composición del cuerpo, y dieta, mientras que la CdV fue evaluada usando el cuestionario WHOQOL-HIV-BREF. También fueron considerados los datos sociodemográfi cos y clínicos. Resultados: fueron seleccionados 51 individuos, la mayoría de sexo masculino, caucásicos, empleados, solteros y en tratamiento antirretroviral de gran actividad (TARGA). Varias características sociodemográfi cas, como el nivel de educación, la edad, el sexo y el estado de salud actual, fueron importantes indicadores del nivel de CdV (p < 0,05). Se observaron niveles de CdV más bajos en individuos con dietas inadecuadas, pérdida de peso comprobada y elevado perímetro de cintura en análisis bivariado (p < 0,05). Las mismas variantes infl uenciaron negativamente la CdV tras haber ajustado los factores de confusión en análisis multivariado (p < 0,05). Conclusión: varios aspectos del estado nutricional infl uyeron en las variaciones observadas en la CdV, lo que sugiere que una intervención a nivel nutricional podría mejorar potencialmente la calidad de vida en esta población. AbstractIntroduction: Nutritional status and the progression of the human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV) are interlinked; though some studies have looked at the impact nutritional status has on quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic diseases, few have studied this in HIV-infected individuals. Objective: To investigate the relationship between nutritional status and QoL in adults with a recent HIV diagnosis. Methods: Individuals with an HIV diagnosis performed in the fourteen months prior to a medical visit to one of Lisbon's central hospitals were eligible. Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometry, body composition analysis, and dietary intake. QoL was assessed using the WHOQOL-HIV-BREF questionnaire. Sociodemographic and clinical data were also considered. Results: Fifty-one subjects were eligible for enrolment; the majority were male, Caucasian, employed, single, and under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Lower QoL scores were observed in subjects with inadequate energy intakes, reported weight loss, and a high waist circumference in bivariate analysis (p < 0.05); the same variables infl uenced QoL negatively after adjusting for confounders in multivariate analysis (p < 0.05)...

“…A study conducted in New Zealand with community elders found that obese individuals were 41% more likely of being at risk of using four or more medications and 30% more likely of being at risk of experiencing pain or discomfort, which negatively affected QoL 34 . Another study conducted in Korea concluded that the presence of comorbidities in overweight elderly patients negatively changed QoL 35 . The association between overweight and higher QoL scores in the social relationships realm diverges from the assumption that obesity can affect social, family and work relationships 36 , aspects evaluated in this realm 20 .…”

Waist Circumference and Health-Related Quality of Life by Sex in the Korean Elderly

Abstract: Extreme obesity worsens mobility, and comorbidity in combination with obesity worsens HRQL in elderly women. Monitoring and controlling comorbidity and maintaining adequate WC decreases the risks of lowered HRQL in Korean elderly women.
