Methods: A retrospective analysis of COVID-19 patients treated at a tertiary hospital in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, China, from 1 May to 31 May 2023 was performed. The patients were divided into two groups: 66 cases in the moderate group and 61 cases in the severe group. Additionally, 69 uninfected individuals from the medical examination center during the same period were selected as the control group. Spearman rank correlation was used to determine the correlation between the indices and COVID-19 severity. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting COVID-19 severity. ROC curves were constructed to assess the predictive value of the TyG and TyG-BMI indices for severe COVID-19. Results: There were significant differences in smoking and diabetes between the three groups (P Conclusion: Smoking, AST, ALB, TyG index, and TyG-BMI index are valuable in assessing the severity of COVID-19, with the TyG-BMI index having a higher predictive value than the TyG index.展开更多

The dental developmental ages of 100 children aged between 8 and 12 years were determined using the Demirjian method and panoramic radiographs. BMI status was determined for each subject on the basis of the system developed by the International Obesity Task Force. There was a significant direct relationship between dental development and BMI (P < 0.01). Obese children have a higher rate of dental development compared to normal children. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This is an important variable to be considered when planning for dental and orthodontic treatments in obese children. Brief objectives statement: Overweight or obesity can accelerate dental development. Accelerated dental development in overweight children is important to be considered in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics.展开更多

The research design of this study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of this research included all high school gifted students of the eighth and ninth grade. The sample consisted of 220 gifted students who were selected by random sampling method. The average age of these participants was 14.56 years old, SD 10.41. Average participants BMI was 31.25, SD 3.12. One hundred and fifteen (52.28%) of these students were females and one hundred and five (47.72%) were males. Family flexibility was measured by Shakeri flexibility scale, eating habits were measured through Coker and Roger Eating Habits Questionnaire and body mass index was tested by Omron digital device. Using SPSS software, the data were analyzed to calculate correlation and simultaneous regression. The results of correlation showed that in these students, concern with weight and dieting and total eating habits have significant relationship with BMI (P < 0.001). The result of simultaneous regression also showed that concern with weight and dieting and total eating habits could explain BMI in these students (P < 0.001) and family flexibility could not explain BMI in these students (P < 0.005). The results emphasize the more important role of eating habits than family flexibility on BMI in gifted students because of sensitive and higher level of intelligence and high peer competitions.展开更多
