To find the proportion ofObjective: overweight/obesity among medical students and identify the contributing/associated factors. AMethod: cross-sectional study was done among 435 medical students aged 18-23 years. Height and weight were measured. Body Mass Index (BMI) cut off was taken as Asian cut-off. Dietary habits like vegetarian/mix vegetarian, frequency of consumption of fast foods were assessed. Along with-it Physical activity and positive family history of obesity and overweight were also assessed. Approval was taken from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Data was analysed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. Proportion of overweight 14.25%Results: and obesity 8.73% was obtained among medical students. There was statistically not significant association between proportion of generalized obesity noted in males compared to females. There is statistically significant higher chance of being overweight/obese when sedentary time is >2 hours and with increasing junk food frequency. Medical students have a high proportion of obesity and are thus more proneConclusion: for obesity-related risks. The present study will help in enhancing self-awareness among the medical students for practising healthy life style.
ABSTRACT
Children are considered as the pride of a nation. The study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of animation song in st reducing the behavioral response of pain among toddler receiving DPT booster 1 dose vaccination in selected hospitals. In view of the objectives of the present study quantitative, quasi-experimental research approach (non -equivalent post-test only control group design) is considered. The study was conducted in immunization OPD in NSCB Jabalpur. Sample size is 60. 30 experiment group & 30 control group. Purposive sampling technique was used. FLACC scale was used. The mean difference of behavioral responses of pain in experiment and control group is 3.6 with standard deviation 1.3, standard deviation error 0.31 and calculated t value is 11.51 at degree of freedom 58, which is higher than the tabulated t value 2.00, at 0.05level of significance. Hence above finding concluded that animation song is effective in reducing the behavioral responses of pain
