    Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC)

    From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through fiscal and regulatory restrictions

    Aim: To analyze the academic stress and the level of physical activity on junior students at the University of Alicante and determine the relationship between physical activity and eating habits. Methods: Descriptive, correlational and transversal study was performed in a sample of 207 female students. The measuring instruments are; the consumption frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and an academic stressors questionnaire (A-CEA, R-CEA, E-CEA). Results: There are no statistically significant differences in the scale of stress, neither in the response to stress nor in the academic stress questionnaire depending on whether the women do physical activity or not. Correlational analysis shows an association between the dimensions of academic in 4 of the 17 established food groups, being significant in some cases. In terms of stress response dimensions, this association it’s seen in 6 food groups. Conclusion: There are no differences in the dimensions of stressors nor in the responses to stress depending on whether women are active or inactive. The consumption of fruits and vegetables correlated significantly with active women

    Fundamentos: La retención de peso posparto está asociada con hábitos alimentarios inadecuados y una mayor insatisfacción de la imagen corporal. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer la influencia de un programa de educación dietético-nutricional mediterránea y práctica deportiva saludable en madres lactantes sobre los hábitos alimentarios, práctica de actividad física, composición corporal e insatisfacción corporal. Métodos: 10 madres lactantes (edad:37,43,3; talla:162,30,1; número embarazos:21) participaron en el estudio, llevado a cabo durante 15 semanas. Las variables estudiadas fueron: adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, práctica de actividad física, la percepción de la imagen y la composición corporales. Resultados: Aunque los resultados reportaron un incremento después de la intervención, ni la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea ni la frecuencia de actividad física variaron significativamente. Conclusiones: No obstante, sí que se produjeron cambios significativos en la composición corporal y en la percepción de la imagen corporal.Background: Post-partum weight retention is associated with inadequate eating habits and increased body image dissatisfaction. The aim was to study the influence of a mediterranean dietetic education program and healthy physical activity habits in breastfeeding mothers on food habits, physical activity practice, body composition and body dissatisfaction. Methods: 10 nursing mothers (age:37,43,3; height:162,30,1; number of pregnancies:21) participated in the study, which was carried out during 15 weeks. The variables studied were: adherence to the Mediterranean diet, practice of physical activity, perception of body image and composition. Results: Although the results reported an increase after the intervention, neither adherence to the mediterranean diet nor frequency of physical activity varied significantly. Conclusions: However, there were significant changes in body composition and body image perception

    Effects of 12 Weeks of Strength Training and Gluten-Free Diet on Quality of Life, Body Composition and Strength in Women with Celiac Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

    Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by gluten-induced intestinal inflammation. Dietary restrictions and symptoms may have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life, body composition (BC), and strength. This study was designed to assess the impact of an isocaloric gluten free diet and resistance exercise in women. A total of 28 Spanish women, aged 40 years old or more, took part in a randomized controlled trial. Each group received a different intervention: group 1, gluten-free nutrition plan + exercise (GFD + E); group 2, gluten-free nutrition plan (GFD); group 3, celiac controls (NO-GFD); and group 4, non-celiac controls (CONTROL). The variables studied were quality of life, BC and isometric hand strength. After 12 weeks of intervention, celiac women that followed a gluten-free diet and exercise showed higher scores on the psychological health scale than celiac women without intervention. The women in group 1 were the only ones who presented improvements in BC variables; fat mass, BMI, and fat-free mass. Negative correlations were found between the perception of quality of life and age, however a positive correlation between quality of life and isometric strength test results was found. In addition to a gluten-free diet, resistance training is essential to improve BC, strength, and gastrointestinal symptoms.This research was funded by Generalitat Valenciana (Concelleria D’ Educació, Investigació Cultura I Esport), grant number GV/2017/112
