THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OBESITY AND DIETARY INTAKE OF OBESE AND PRE-OBESE FEMALE STUDENTS – AJA CAMPUS HAIL UNIVERSITY

Globally obesity has reached to epidemic proportions, and the people of the Gulf countries have also affected, especially high income, oilproducing countries. Recent data clearly indicate a high prevalence of adult obesity particularly in women in the Kingdom. This paper aims to identify the relationship between obesity and dietary intake of obese and pre-obese female students in Hail University–KSA. Descriptive analytical approach was used in this paper. BMI was calculated and related to dietary intake using food frequency questionnaire. Results shows prevalence of obesity grades was n(%); 43(43%) obesity grade I, 17(17%) obesity grade II, and 8(8%) were grade III obesity. Thirty one subjects were pre-obese and only one subject was overweight. Basic food groups consumption as stated in frequency per week revealed that: female students consumed more servings (>6 times/ week ) of fruits; vegetables; and dairy products, alternatives, sweets and candies, eggs, legumes, rice macaroni and other starch foods, non-alcoholic beverages. Whereas they consumed less servings (≤Once/ week) of breads, fruit juices, carbonated drinks and potato. The majority of the subjects 65% ate chicken with rice (Kabsa) as staple food, whereas 4% ate other starchy food. High consumption of energy dense foods might be responsible for increased deposition of calories in the form adipose tissue. Conclusion: It is crucial to enumerate awareness programs to modify dietary behavior and eating habits of female students and Hail community with respect to food intake. This will be effective in the treatment of obesity, especially in Saudi Arabia

L’ETHIQUE EN MATIERE DE SANTE ENTRE ANTINOMIES, LIBERTE DE CHOIX ET DIFFICULTE DU QUOTIDIEN

The progressive increase of biotechnology, of more and more sophisticated and customized drugs, springs from a real requirement of citizens or instead from an offer coming from different corporations? Ethics in health care is everyday more contradictory, permeated by antinomies, freedom of choice, inequalities and problems connected to everyday life

APPLICATION DES MÉTHODES D’ANALYSES STATISTIQUES MULTIVARIÉES À L’ÉTUDE DES CARACTÉRISTIQUES PHYSICOCHIMIQUES DES SOLS DE SAÏS, MAROC (APPLICATION OF MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS METHODS TO THE STUDY OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOILS SAÏS,

The Sais is the most famous agricultural region in Morocco by the diversity of its soil classes. The data on the physico-chemical characteristics of the three main soil types in this region, have been the subject of a detailed statistical analysis (principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical classification). Our database relating to these floors, consists of quantitative variables 14 and 32 individuals. The eigenvalue analysis has retaining pins which contain the highest percentage of the information from the data table. The implementation of the CPA, the soils studied, helped highlight the dominance of the clay fraction and exchangeable bases in the Vertisols, which explains their high cationic exchange capacity (CEC). By cons, it is very low in fersialitic soils. Indeed, in these soils, it is the sands are the most explanatory variable. Finally the class Calcimagnesic soil is characterized by a high total limestone and organic matter
