The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide and can affect their linear growth through various mechanisms. Objectives. We aimed to investigate the association between obesity-related traits and height in adolescents. Material and methods. This was a categorized cross-sectional study carried out on 186 students (93 case and 93 control) 15 to 18 years of age who were randomly selected from three schools in Shiraz, Iran. Anthropometric indices including height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF) and body muscle percentage (BM) were measured. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS software (Version 16). A significance level was considered as being less than 0.05. Results. We found an inverse association for waist circumference (WC) and fat mass with height. In addition, there was a direct relationship between fat-free mass and trunk fat with height. The mean height of participants in the obesity group was significantly lower than the control group (p = 0.04). Participants in the obesity group had significant higher FM percentage (p < 0.001) and WC (p < 0.001) than the control group. There was a significant correlation between height and WC (p = 0.003), as well as between height and fat percentage (p < 0.001). We also found a direct relationship between fast-free mass and height (p < 0.001), as well as between trunk fat percentage and height (p = 0.026). We have suggested an equation to estimate adolescents’ height based on the anthropometric indices. Conclusions. Adiposity, especially central adiposity, is adversely associated with height. However, muscle percentage might reinforce linear growth. Further studies are warranted to confirm this finding.","PeriodicalId":44481,"journal":{"name":"Family Medicine and Primary Care Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71081707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently not curable but controllable and must be managed. Family support has been stated as a vital component in successful control of DM and the strongest determinant of adherence to diet therapy in DM pa tients. Objectives. The study was conducted to examine social support and its relationship with practicing self-care behavior in patients with DM in Mashhad. Material and methods. In this analytical cross-sectional study, 400 patients with DM were selected over two months from DM clin ics in Mashhad using the census sampling method. Data was collected using demographic information, social support and self-care questionnaires. Data analysis was done in SPSS 21 using the statistical Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, t -Test and analysis of variance. Results. The results indicated a significant relationship between the social support and self-care behavior of DM patients ( p = 0.031). This means that social support is an effective factor in practicing self-care behaviors. Moreover, the results indicated that most of the samples had moderate social support and self-care behavior. There was a significant relationship between self-care and health literacy in the study ( p = 0.026): individuals with higher health literacy had better self-care. There was a significant relationship between educa tion and monthly income with self-care behaviors and support of the individuals ( p = 0.001). Conclusions. Individuals with better social support have adhered to DM self-care behaviors, and adhering to self-care behaviors has led to blood sugar control and prevention of adverse effects. Furthermore, patient support and participation in self-care enable them to take the next step for better management of the disease and prevention of future adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":44481,"journal":{"name":"Family Medicine and Primary Care Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71081381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nutritional status is the best indicator of global well-being. Childhood malnutrition is a major public health problem among Bangladeshi children. Objectives. The main objectives of this study are to: (i) determine the prevalence of malnutrition among under-five (U5) children; (ii) assess the association between malnutrition and selected factors; (iii) determine the high-risk factors for malnutrition and its impact on U5 mortality. Material and methods. The data was taken from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2014. Chi-square analysis was performed to explore the association between malnutrition and selected potential factors. Moreover, logistic regression (LR) was also performed to determine the factors associated with malnutrition and its impact on U5 mortality based on the p-value and odds ratio (OR) along with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results. The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight were 37.1%, 14.7% and 33%, respectively. Most of the selected factors were found to be highly significant (p < 0.05), which were performed via chi-square analysis. In the LR model, it was found that place of residence, region, mother’s working status, mother’s education, mother’s age at first birth, wealth index and toilet facilities were the factors mostly responsible for child malnutrition. Our study also showed that wasting and underweight have a significant impact on U5 mortality. Conclusions. It is recommended that educating mothers, delaying a mother’s age for first birth, improving sanitation facilities, reducing poverty and creating health-related services are essential to improve a child’s health and nutritional status. As a result, U5 mortality will be reduced in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":44481,"journal":{"name":"Family Medicine and Primary Care Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71081498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
