For this reason, knowledge and advice on physical activity (PA) should be common to all health professionals. In this context, the role of physicians stands out, because they act in the first contact and have a high potential in addressing this issue and its impact on health promotion, prevention, and treatment in chronic diseases. This study aims to observe the level of physical activity knowledge of medical students in a university in the south of Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out by applying the short and validated version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to collect data on sociodemographic factors, physical activity, knowledge of physical activity, and level of physical activity. Results A total of 294 students were assessed. The average (± SD) age was 22.0 (± 3.3) years. Most were women, and 72.8% presented body mass index within the range 18.5-25 kg/m2. Results showed that 65.6% of the students practice physical activity. There was statistical difference regarding the level of physical activity (p < 0.001) and sitting time on weekdays (p = 0.031) between the groups of physically active and physically inactive individuals. Conclusion It was concluded that the practice of physical activity has no association with the level of knowledge about it. However, by practicing physical activities doctors are better able to motivate and encourage their patients.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":"12 1","pages":"47 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44179176","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}

One of the key elements to strengthen the body’s immune system is to follow a healthy lifestyle to deal with health threating.

Methods This descriptive-analytical study carried on hospitalized COVID-19 patients from October 22, 2020 to January 19, 2021. Demographic characteristics, physical activity, nutritional status, stress and anxiety, and substance abuse were assessed. A simple model and multiple logistic regression model were used. Results About 32% were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). Healthy lifestyle was observed only in 28%. About 82% had insufficient physical activity, and 67.3% was reported to be unfavorable in nutritional status. Severe stress and anxiety were observed in 30.4% of people. There were significant relationships between age (AOR = 2.11, p = 0.036), education (AOR = 0.35, p = 0.002) and a healthy lifestyle.

When individuals with ailments are trained under therapists supervised by the clinicians, significant results can be seen in alleviating symptoms like pain, stress, anxiety and an improvement in the quality of life is observed. This review article focuses on the structure and basics of mindful meditation and the mechanisms of mindfulness and its positive effects on various diseases like lichen planus, urticaria, psoriasis, eczema, myofacial pain dysfunction syndrome, to name a few. There are various arenas within the discipline of oral and maxillofacial medicine where mindfulness-based techniques can be explored for its effectiveness in combating psychosomatic conditions.

Excess exercise, however, can cause detrimental effects on both physical and mental health. It can also hamper the quality of life to an extent that individual is unable to regulate this behavior. 'Addicted' exercisers are more likely to work out for intrinsic rewards and experience troubling feelings of deprivation. In comparison, 'committed' exercisers participate in physical activity for extrinsic benefits and, when they cannot exercise, do not experience extreme withdrawal symptoms. Sportspersons indulge themselves in long hours of training as a response of their quest to improve endurance and performance in the face of common setbacks. Recognizing the addiction to exercise is also a contentious idea and the aim of this article is to draw an attention towards the same. Exercise Addiction diagnosis needs employment of questionnaires such as Exercise Dependence Scale, Obligatory Exercise Questionnaire, and Exercise Addiction Inventory. They need to be employed in the pre-participation evaluation of an individual participating in any sports event. Physiotherapists are often the first to meet an individual with exercise addiction.

The patient was initially diagnosed as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) by a family physician and received pharmacological treatment with a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) [1]. The report is instructive on the clinical practice in relation to FH and phenotypically confusing conditions. One of the confusing conditions was a case of hypercholesterolemia combined with hypertriglyceridemia as reported by Patel and Curnew [1]. We would like to add some further comments regarding the collaboration between family physicians and specialists. As the frequency of FH, an inherited disorder associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, is high in the community worldwide, family physicians play a key role in the screening and management of FH [2]. However, for family physicians who diagnose and manage FH patients, it is occasionally difficult clearly distinguish between some FH-like dyslipidemias and definitive FH [3]. In fact, we have also experienced some cases of secondary dyslipidemia with high cholesterol concentrations, like FH, for instance due to hypothyroidism, in which treatment using PCSK9i was attempted by family physicians. To assist in the clinical practice in relation to FH and FH-like dyslipidemias, collaboration between family physicians and specialists should be promoted. Guidelines, including more concrete practice in relation to FH and FH-like dyslipidemias, as well as a policy of collaboration with specialists, would be necessary for family physicians. Consultation systems to increase access to specialists using information and communication technologies, such as telemedicine, the Internet, and electronic record evaluation [4-6], may be arranged in the near future.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":"11 2","pages":"94-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/4b/54/jlm-11-2-94.PMC8430315.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39437731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
