Abstrak: By using data from wave 2 (in 1996) and wave 3 (in 2000-2001) of the US-based National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we investigated the association between young women's body weight and depression during the transition to adulthood. Respondents (n = 5,243) were 13-18 years of age during wave 2 and 19-25 years of age during wave 3. We used Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale scores to classify young women as never depressed, consistently depressed, experiencing depression onset, or experiencing depression recovery from wave 2 to wave 3. Results from adjusted multinomial logistic regression models indicated that respondents who experienced significant weight gain were at risk of depression onset. Normal weight (adjusted odds ratio = 2.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.14, 3.84) and overweight (adjusted odds ratio = 1.86, 95% confidence interval: 1.15, 2.99) adolescent girls who were obese by young adulthood, as well as young women who were consistently obese during adolescence and young adulthood (adjusted odds ratio = 1.97, 95% confidence interval: 1.19, 3.26), had roughly twice the odds of depression onset as did young women who were never overweight. We concluded that weight gain and obesity are risk factors for depression onset during the transition to adulthood. Policies prioritizing healthy weight maintenance may help improve young women's mental health as they begin their adult lives.

Abstrak: Investigators in several epidemiologic studies have observed an inverse association between body mass index (BMI) and lung cancer risk, while others have not. The authors used data from the Women's Health Initiative to study the association of anthropometric factors with lung cancer risk. Over 8 years of follow-up (1998–2006), 1,365 incident lung cancer cases were ascertained among 161,809 women. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios adjusted for covariates. Baseline BMI was inversely associated with lung cancer in current smokers (highest quintile vs. lowest: hazard ratio (HR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.42, 0.92). When BMI and waist circumference were mutually adjusted, BMI was inversely associated with lung cancer risk in both current smokers and former smokers (HR = 0.40 (95% CI: 0.22, 0.72) and HR = 0.61 (95% CI: 0.40, 0.94), respectively), and waist circumference was positively associated with risk (HR = 1.56 (95% CI: 0.91, 2.69) and HR = 1.50 (95% CI: 0.98, 2.31), respectively). In never smokers, height showed a borderline positive association with lung cancer. These findings suggest that in smokers, BMI is inversely associated with lung cancer risk and that waist circumference is positively associated with risk.

Abstrak: In this prospective cohort study, based on 1,505 mother-infant pairs in rural Bangladesh, we evaluated the associations between early-life exposure to arsenic, cadmium, and lead, assessed via concentrations in maternal and child urine, and children's weights and heights up to age 5 years, during the period 2001-2009. Concurrent and prenatal exposures were evaluated using linear regression analysis, while longitudinal exposure was assessed using mixed-effects linear regression. An inverse association was found between children's weight and height, age-adjusted z scores, and growth velocity at age 5 years and concurrent exposure to cadmium and arsenic. In the longitudinal analysis, multivariable-adjusted attributable differences in children's weight at age 5 years were -0.33 kg (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.60, -0.06) for high (≥ 95th percentile) arsenic exposure and -0.57 kg (95% CI: -0.88, -0.26) for high cadmium exposure, in comparison with children with the lowest exposure (≤ 5th percentile). Multivariable-adjusted attributable differences in height were -0.50 cm (95% CI: -1.20, 0.21) for high arsenic exposure and -1.6 cm (95% CI: -2.4, -0.77) for high cadmium exposure. The associations were apparent primarily among girls. The negative effects on children's growth at age 5 years attributable to arsenic and cadmium were of similar magnitude to the difference between girls and boys in terms of weight (-0.67 kg, 95% CI: -0.82, -0.53) and height (-1.3 cm, 95% CI: -1.7, -0.89).

Abstrak: Hubungan gizi dengan HIV sangatlah erat, dimana pada kondisi ODHA telah terkena penyakit infeksi dan jatuh sakit maka kebutuhan gizi akan meningkat tetapi di sisi lain sering kali adanya kegagalan asupan yang adekuat sehingga penyakit infeksinya akan semakin buruk. Begitu seterus hubungannya apabila asupan gizi tidak adekuat. Masalah gizi pada ODHA dapat juga berupa kelebihan gizi yang berdampak pada penyakit degeneratif. Edukasi gizi merupakan langkah yang baik untuk membentuk perilaku, dimana ODHA diharapkan mengkonsumsi makanan dan minuman dengan gizi yang cukup dan aman.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian edukasi dankonseling gizi terhadap pengetahuan, sikap, perilaku dan berat badan ODHA diUPT HIV RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Jakarta.Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimental yang dilakukan kepada 54 pasien HIV/AIDS dengan menilai pengetahuan, sikap, perilaku dan pengukuran berat badan sebelum dan setelah diberikan intervensi. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah uji beda meandan uji multivariat logistik linear. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan pengetahuan (p value 0,000) dan perilaku (p value 0,048) untuk kelompok perlakuan. Peningkatan berat badan rata-rata setelah intervensi adalah 0,6 kg (p value 0,170). Variabel yang paling dominan terhadap perilaku adalah dukungan keluarga/peer group (p value 0,012). Kata kunci : edukasi dan konseling gizi, pengetahuan, sikap, perilaku dan beratbadan

A closely relation between HIV and nutrition, where the condition of peopleliving with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has been exposed to infectious diseases andeasy to falling ill, nutritional needs will increase but on the other hand is often afailure of adequate intake so that the infection will get worse disease. So onwardsto do when nutritional intake is inadequate. Nutritional problems in PLWHA canalso be excess nutrients that have an impact on degenerative diseases. Nutritioneducation is a good step for shaping behavior, where PLWHA are expected toconsume foods and beverages with adequate nutrition and safe.This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition education and counseling onknowledge, attitudes, behaviors and body weight PLWHA.The design study is quasi experimental conducted to 54 patients with HIV / AIDSto assess the knowledge, attitude, behavior and body weight measurements beforeand after intervention. The results showed differences in knowledge (p value0.000) and behavior (p value 0.048) for the treatment group. The increase in theaverage weight gain was 0.6 kg after intervention (p value 0.170). The mostdominant variable is the behavior of family support / peer group (p value 0.012).Keywords: nutrition education and counseling, knowledge, attitudes, behavior andbody weight

Abstrak: Berat badan merupakan salah satu komponen antropometri yang paling banyak digunakan untuk menentukan preskripsi diet dan preskripsi obat pasien. Namun terkadang pengukuran berat badan tidak dapat dilakukan secara langsung, seperti pada individu penyandang disabilitas dan kesadaran lemah.

Body weight is one of the most common anthropometric component to determine prescription for diet and drugs. However, this way prove to be a challenge for individuals who are unconscious and or have disabilities. The present study aims to derive a simple equation to estimate the body weight of adults in South Jakarta. Measurements of Body Weight BW , the Middle Upper Arm Circumference MUAC , and the Knee Height KH were done in 164 adults in the respective city in May 2017. The resulting equation, which is derived by multiple linear regression, is BW 2.8 MUAC 1.2 KH ndash 1.25 Z ndash 75.1 R square 0,841 p value 0,001 , with Z value of 1 for female and 2 for male. The equation is able to approximate the body weight of adults in South Jakarta.

Abstrak: Familial aggregation of blood pressure with respect to anthropometric characteristics was investigated among the Lobana (a tribal origin) population in Punjab, a North Indian state. A total of 505 individuals comprised the study sample, constituting 116 families of 3 generations. The study represents a multivariate model analysis, which includes family data with respect to blood pressure phenotypes and other metric measurements such as height, weight, body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and 4 skinfold measurements. A higher correlation for almost all sets of anthropometric variables with blood pressure was found among the offspring generation as compared with the parental and grandparental generations. The study confirmed that the familial aggregation of blood pressure with respect to anthropometric measurements is strong in the offspring generation. The findings suggest that sharing a household environment has a significant effect on familial aggregation especially for systolic blood pressure.
