The general objective was to determine the epidemiological aspects of obesity, overweight and associated risk factors in a semi-urban environment. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted on November 28 and 29, 2023 in Sébikotane. It focused on volunteers for screening for chronic non-communicable diseases. Epidemiological and clinical data were evaluated. Results: One hundred and twenty-nine cases of obesity were recorded (28%). Two hundred and eighty-two cases were overweight or obese (61.3%). The mean age was 49.55 years, with a standard deviation of 12.41 years. The age group [40 - 49 years] was the most representative, with 85 cases (30.1%), and the majority were female, with 264 cases (93.6%). Primary education was the most common, with 75 cases (46.3%). Grade 1 obesity concerned ninety-seven cases (75.2%), and diabetes was present in thirty cases (23%). Hypertension was present in ninety-five cases (33.7%). Obesity was more marked in the age group [40 - 49 years] with 45 cases (36%). Conclusion: Obesity and overweight are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The development and implementation of a prevention and management program is essential.展开更多

In countri...Context: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) helps restore the health status of people living with HIV (PLHIV). Likewise, it increases the risk of overweight/obesity and related comorbidities among the recipients. In countries like Botswana where ±84% of PLHIV is on ART, the paucity of data comparing overweight/obesity between HIV-positive on ART and HIV-negative patients may impede clinical and policy decision-making. This study sought to estimate and compare: i) the prevalence of overweight/obesity between HIV-positive on ART and HIV-negative patients;ii) the prevalence of hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM)/coronary heart disease (CHD) between HIV-positive patients on ART and HIV-negative patients attending same outpatient departments of general clinics in Gaborone, Botswana. Patients and Methods: Five hundred eighty-one (581) outpatients were recruited in four major clinics of Gaborone, Botswana, between June and July 2019;294 or 51% of them were HIV-negative and 287 or 49% were HIV-positive on ART. The prevalence of overweight/obesity and of HTN and DM/CHD were calculated and examined using stratified analysis. Subgroups were compared using Chi-square analysis with Yates correction or Fisher exact test and t-student test for continuous data. Results: Major findings after stratification of the study population by HIV status were: i) the prevalence of all categories of (BMI), including overweight/obesity, were comparable between HIV-negative-patients and HIV-positive. In fact, there were 24 (8.0%) cases of underweight among HIV-negative-Patients and 15(5%) cases among HIV-positive patients, p = 0.2;145 (49%) HIV-negative-patients and 128 (45%) HIV-positive, p = 0.07 cases of normal weight;72 (25%) HIV-negative-patients and 87 (30%) HIV-positive, p = 0.08, were overweight;53 (18%) HIV-negative-patients and 57 (20%) HIV-positive, p = 0.12, were obese;125 (43%) HIV-negative patients and 144 (50%) HIV-positive, p=0.06 were overweight/obese;ii) the prevalence of HTN and DM/CHD among HIV-positive-patients were significantly lower (p < 0.05) compared to HIV-negative patients: There were 32 (10.9%) cases of HTN among HIV-negative patients compared to 18 (6.3%) cases of HTN among HIV-positive patients, p = 0.001;32 (11%) cases of DM/CHD HIV-negative patients compared to 4 (1.4%) cases of DM/CHD among HIV-positive patients, p = 0.001. Conclusion: the prevalence of overweight/obesity observed between HIV-negative and HIV-positive patients may suggest that the two groups shared the same exposure factors. That HTN and DM/CHD prevalence was lower among HIV-positive compared to HIV-negative patients, is possibly due to interplay factors of ART, HIV or the host population. Further studies are, however, recommended for clarifications.展开更多

This is a cross-sectional survey with 697 university students from northern and central Mexico (448 women, and 249 men aged 18 - 19 years). Data was collected during 2018. Overweight and obesity were calculated from those indices and for both, female and male students, the order of correlation between a pair of indices were WHtR vs. RFM > WHtR vs. WC > RFM vs. WC > WHtR vs. BMI > BMI vs. WC > RFM vs. BMI. It is concluded to use the WHtR and the RFM to better predict overweight and obesity in young Mexican university students.展开更多

文摘Context: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) helps restore the health status of people living with HIV (PLHIV). Likewise, it increases the risk of overweight/obesity and related comorbidities among the recipients. In countries like Botswana where ±84% of PLHIV is on ART, the paucity of data comparing overweight/obesity between HIV-positive on ART and HIV-negative patients may impede clinical and policy decision-making. This study sought to estimate and compare: i) the prevalence of overweight/obesity between HIV-positive on ART and HIV-negative patients;ii) the prevalence of hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM)/coronary heart disease (CHD) between HIV-positive patients on ART and HIV-negative patients attending same outpatient departments of general clinics in Gaborone, Botswana. Patients and Methods: Five hundred eighty-one (581) outpatients were recruited in four major clinics of Gaborone, Botswana, between June and July 2019;294 or 51% of them were HIV-negative and 287 or 49% were HIV-positive on ART.

文摘BACKGROUND Currently,the lack of comparative studies between weekly and daily formulations of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RAs)for glucose excursion is worth investigation.AIM To investigate the effects of weekly and daily formulations of GLP-1RA on glucose excursion and inflammation in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes.METHODS Seventy patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated at our hospital between January 2019 and January 2022 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis.All patients were treated with metformin.We evaluated changes in blood glucose levels and a series of important indicators in patients before and after treatment with either a weekly or daily preparation of GLP-1RA(group A;n=33 and group B;n=37).RESULTS The degree of decrease in the levels of fasting blood glucose,mean blood glucose,mean amplitude of glycemic excursions,total cholesterol,triglycerides,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein after treatment in group A was higher than that in group B(P<0.05),whereas the 2-h postprandial blood glucose levels decreased more so in group B than in group A(P<0.001).However,there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of glycated hemoglobin,standard deviation of blood glucose,coefficient of variation,absolute mean of daily differences,percentage of time with 3.9 mmol/L<glucose<10 mmol/L,and high-and low-density lipoproteins between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in group A than in group B(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The effect of the weekly preparation of GLP-1RA in controlling blood glucose levels in the patients,suppressing inflammation,and reducing adverse reactions was significantly higher than that of the daily preparations,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
文摘目的基于“痰瘀同治”理论,运用痰瘀同调方治疗超重/肥胖糖耐量异常人群,评价痰瘀同调方治疗超重/肥胖糖耐量异常人群的临床有效性及安全性。方法选择超重/肥胖糖耐量异常痰湿瘀滞证患者72例,随机分为对照组与治疗组,各36例,对照组予基础治疗,治疗组在对照组基础上联合痰瘀同调方治疗。治疗3个月后观察2组体质量指数(BMI)、腰围(WC)、腰臀比(WHR)、空腹血糖(FPG)、餐后2 h血糖(2 hPG)、糖化血红蛋白(HbAlc)、空腹血清胰岛素(FINS)、稳态模型胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)、血脂以及中医痰湿瘀滞症状积分等指标变化,客观评价痰瘀同调方的临床疗效。结果治疗组治疗后BMI、WC、WHR、FPG、2 h PG、HbAlc、FINS、HOMA-IR、三酰甘油(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C),均较治疗前有明显改善,且改善程度均优于对照组(P<0.05);治疗组治疗后改善患者形体肥胖、腹部增大、脘腹胀满、倦怠乏力、胸闷、便溏、口淡无味或黏腻等中医症状方面均优于对照组(P<0.05);治疗组中医证候综合疗效总有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。2组研究过程中均未出现不良事件。结论痰瘀同调方干预治疗超重/肥胖糖耐量异常效果明显,安全性良好。
文摘目的探讨60岁以上男性超重或肥胖体检人群正常血清尿酸水平(serum uric acid,SUA)与腰椎骨密度(bone mineral density,BMD)的关系。方法选取470名于2022年1~12月在宁夏回族自治区人民医院体检的60岁及以上男性,利用双能X线骨密度仪对腰椎L1~4的BMD进行检测,依据T值将所有患者分为3组:骨量正常G1组、骨量减少G2组和骨质疏松G3组,所有纳入患者的SUA水平均在正常水平(180~428μmol/L)。先将各组进行指标差异对比,再依据体质量指数(body mass index,BMI)把所有研究对象分为超重组、肥胖组,观察BMI的变化对BMD值、T值、骨质疏松症患病率高低的影响;把BMD、T值分别与其他指标如SUA、BMI等进行Pearson相关性分析;把数据进行赋值定义,再分别做单因素Logistic回归分析、有序多分类Logistic回归分析。结果(1)G3组SUA水平均高于G1组和G2组,G3组年龄、BMI、糖尿病的患病率均高于G1组和G2组,而eGFR、BMD、T值则低于G1组和G2组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。(2)将血尿酸按三分位法分为低1/3组(S1组)、中1/3组(S2)、高1/3组(S3)组共3组,其中组间比较发现S3组的BMD值、T值、骨质疏松症患病率均高于S1、S2组,S2组骨质疏松症患病率高于S1组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。(3)相较于肥胖组,超重组的BMD值、T值更低,且骨质疏松症患病率更高。(4)Pearson相关分析显示,eGFR的变化与BMD、T值的变化趋势较为一致,相反,BMI、SUA、年龄的数值升高,伴随BMD及T值的降低(P<0.05)。(5)单因素Logistic回归分析结果提示,年龄增加、BMI增高、SUA升高、eGFR降低以及糖尿病病史会增加骨量异常的罹患风险(P<0.05);经有序多分类Logistic回归分析显示,年龄、BMI、SUA、患有糖尿病与骨量异常的风险呈正相关性(P<0.05)。结论在60岁以上的男性超重或肥胖体检人群中,SUA、BMI、糖尿病促进老年男性发生骨量异常。
