Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Sugar-Sweetened Beverage (SSB) Among University Students in Klang Valley, Malaysia

@#Introduction: Excessive sugar consumption is a major global health concerns as it plays a significant role in the development of non-communicable diseases. Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are a major source of added sugar in daily life that can lead to many health concerns. Understanding of the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to SSB intake is a key component of healthy beverage intake. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of SSBs intake and the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of university students during the recovery phase of COVID-19 in 2022. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 176 young adults aged 18-26 years old who completed a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of demographic and KAP data related to SSBs. Descriptive statistics were outlined, and a chi-square test was conducted to compare categorical variables. Results: Based on the frequency of beverage intake, sugar-sweetened coffee, or tea (39.8%) was the most frequently consumed SSB daily (at least once daily) while regular soft drink (52.3%) was the most consumed SSB among the participants on a weekly basis (≤6 times per week). Overall, the majority of university students had a positive attitude towards SSB intake (90.6%) but poor knowledge (51.7%) and poor practice (80.7%) levels. Gender and weight status were significantly related to the attitude and knowledge scores (p< 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of SSB intake among young adults should be addressed. Comprehensive education and intervention are vital to improving the knowledge and practice about proper SSB intake as part of healthy eating lifestyles.

Family influences on food choices and nutrition: What does the literature say?

ABSTRACT The prevention of diseases related to nutrition requires an approach that considers aspects that transcend the individual level in understanding food decisions. In this context, the family as an interpersonal determinant of eating behavior is gaining importance in developing behavioral change interventions that seek better nutritional health. This manuscript aims to describe the current evidence of how family variables influence its members' food choices and nutritional status. Specifically, we present evidence on family functioning, parental feeding styles, and family meals, as they are recent topics of interest in the area. The evidence shows that a better or balanced family functioning or some of its components (communication, conflicts, cohesion, among others); a parental feeding style that demands but listens to the requirements from children; and a higher frequency of family meals are associated with a lower Body Mass Index (BMI) and healthier eating habits, especially in children and adolescents. A deep understanding of family variables could guide weight management interventions and provide information that could explain why some interventions work and others do not.

RESUMEN La prevención de enfermedades relacionadas con la nutrición requiere de un enfoque que considere aspectos que transciendan el nivel individual en el entendimiento de las decisiones alimentarias. En este contexto, la familia como un determinante interpersonal de las conductas alimentarias, está ganando importancia en el desarrollo de intervenciones de cambio conductual que buscan una mejor salud nutricional. Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir la evidencia actual de cómo variables familiares influyen en las elecciones alimentarias y el estado nutricional de sus miembros. Específicamente, presentamos evidencia sobre el funcionamiento familiar, los estilos parentales de alimentación y las comidas familiares, ya que son temas recientes de interés en el área. La evidencia muestra que un mejor o equilibrado funcionamiento familiar o de algunos de sus componentes (comunicación, conflictos, cohesión, entre otros); un estilo parental que exige, pero escucha los requerimientos de los niños; y una mayor frecuencia de comidas familiares se asocian con un menor Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y hábitos alimentarios más saludables, especialmente en niños y adolescentes. Una comprensión profunda de las variables familiares podría orientar las intervenciones de control de peso y brindar información que explicaría por qué algunas intervenciones funcionan y otras no.

Dietary Fat Intake and its Association with Adiposity and Inflammatory Markers in Individuals at Cardiometabolic Risk

Abstract Background Fatty acids are important components of diet that may influence the development of CVD. Objective To verify the relationship of dietary fatty acids with cardiometabolic markers in individuals at the cardiometabolic risk. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 282 subjects (116 M/166 F, 42 ± 16 years) attended the Cardiovascular Health Care Program, Universidade Federal de Viçosa (Brazil). Anthropometric and body composition measurements as well as metabolic and inflammatory markers were assessed by standard procedures. Demographic and lifestyle variables were obtained by semi-structured questionnaire. Food consumption was evaluated by 24h recall. Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney-U test and chi-square test were used, considering the statistical significance level of 5% probability. Results Individuals who eaten fat, fatty acids saturated and fatty acids polyunsaturated above recommendation (> 35, 7%, and 10% of caloric intake) were more likely to be overweight (p < 0.05). Those individuals with higher intake of medium-chain fatty saturated acids (≥ 1.05 g/d) had lower values (p < 0.05) of body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and waist-height ratio and higher values (p < 0.05) of total leukocytes, C-reactive protein and total cholesterol, and LDL. Subjects with higher of palmitoleic acid intake (≥ 0.94 g/d) presented higher values of BMI, fat percentage and HOMA-IR (p < 0.05). Conclusion This cross-sectional study found different associations of dietary fat and cardiometabolic risk related to adiposity and inflammatory markers, according with chain-size and saturation, indicating the need the more detailed on the dietary assessment of obese patients to identify risk factors and established best strategies to control.

School-based obesity prevention interventions in Latin America: A systematic review

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of school-based interventions to prevent obesity conducted in Latin America and provide suggestions for future prevention efforts in countries of the region. METHODS Articles published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese between 2000 and 2017 were searched in four online databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, LILACS, and REDALYC). Inclusion criteria were: studies targeting school-aged children and adolescents (6-18 years old), focusing on preventing obesity in a Latin American country using at least one school-based component, reporting at least one obesity-related outcome, comprising controlled or before-and-after design, and including information on intervention components and/or process. RESULTS Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Most effective interventions (n = 3) had moderate quality and included multi-component school-based programs to promote health education and parental involvement focused on healthy eating and physical activity behaviors. These studies also presented a better study designs, few limitations for execution, and a minimum duration of six months. CONCLUSIONS Evidence-based prevention experiences are important guides for future strategies implemented in the region. Alongside gender differences, an adequate duration, and the combined use of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods, evidence-based prevention should be considered to provide a clearer and deeper understanding of the true effects of school-based interventions.

El magnesio sérico en niños normotensos, pre-hipertensos, hipertensos y obesos de edad escolar / Serum magnesium in normotensive, pre-hypertensive, hypertensive and obese school-age children

RESUMEN Introducción: la hipertensión, al igual que la obesidad, es un problema de salud a nivel mundial. En los últimos años esta situación ha aumentado en la edad infantil. Existe una estrecha relación inversa entre la ingestión del magnesio en la dieta, o en su suplementación, y los niveles de presión sanguínea. En la hipertensión hay presencia de las especies reactivas del oxígeno y las defensas antioxidantes pudieran estar afectadas. Objetivos: evaluar el comportamiento de las concentraciones del magnesio en niños pre-hipertensos, hipertensos y obesos en edad escolar. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 501 infantes (8-11 años), los cuales se clasificaron según: los valores de presión arterial en reposo, sexo, color de la piel e índice de masa corporal. Las determinaciones del magnesio se realizaron por el método de absorción atómica con llama. Se utilizaron las pruebas: T student y U de Mann-Whinney, en la comparación de los grupos con un nivel de significación p< 0,05. Resultados: en el grupo total de niños no hubo diferencias en las concentraciones del magnesio. Los niños pre-hipertensos e hipertensos, del sexo femenino y piel blanca, de 9 años, presentaron disminución significativa de las concentraciones de magnesio. Los varones hipertensos normopesos presentaron diferencia significativa del magnesio en relación con los normotensos. No se encontró diferencia significativa en las concentraciones de magnesio al estudiar el índice de masa corporal. Conclusiones: las concentraciones de magnesio estuvieron disminuidas en los niños pre-hipertensos, hipertensos u obesos para determinados grupos de edad, sexo y color de la piel.

ABSTRACT Introduction: hypertension as obesity is considered a health problem worldwide. In recent years, this situation has increased in childhood. There is a close inverse correlation between the dietary intake of magnesium, or in its supplementation, and blood pressure levels. In hypertension, there is a presence of reactive oxygen species, as well as, antioxidant defenses may be affected. Objectives: to evaluate the manifestation of magnesium concentrations in pre-hypertensive, hypertensive and obese school-age children. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. The sample consisted of 501 infants (8-11 years old), which were classified according to: blood pressure values at rest, gender, skin color and body mass index. The determinations of magnesium were made using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Mann-Whitney U and Student's T Tests were used to compare groups with a significance level of p <0.05. Results: there were no differences in magnesium concentrations in the total group of children. Female pre-hypertensive and hypertensive white children aged 9 years showed a significant decrease in magnesium concentrations. Normal-weight hypertensive males had a significant difference in magnesium concentrations in relation to normotensive ones. No significant difference in magnesium concentrations was found when studying the body mass index. Conclusions: magnesium concentrations were decreased in pre-hypertensive, hypertensive or obese children for certain age groups, gender and skin color.

Effectiveness of obesity prevention campaign (OPC) among adolescents

@#<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the existing campaigns on obesity prevention, there's still high incidence which can lead to complications. This study determined the effectiveness of obesity prevention campaign (OPC) among adolescents, and the difference according to sex and groups. Aquasi-experimental time-series design was used. The participants were 56 Grade 7 high school students from Baguio City, randomly chosen through one-stage cluster sampling, assigned in the interventions groups, assessed using a self-made questionnaire, introduced with OPC and reassessed for three weeks. Frequency percentages and Chi-square were utilized. The brochure plus health teaching is an effective OPC. There is a significant difference in BMI according to sex of the adolescents. The OPC yielded effective results in the physical aspects for both groups. Repeated campaign can produce a successful effect in preventing obesity among adolescents. Utilization of either the brochure alone or brochure with health teaching is enough to create a successful change.</p>

Development of a Smartphone Application for 4th-6th Grade Elementary Students Aimed to Prevent Childhood Obesity

BACKGROUND: There is high interest in a new approach to improve children's lifestyle habits in order to prevent childhood obesity. A smartphone application (app) is a new technology platform that can be used to prevent childhood obesity. METHODS: The key messages for healthy eating habits and physical activities were selected by experts in nutrition, physical activity, and psychology and were adjusted for use in elementary school students. Gamification techniques were used to increase app user engagement. A total of 249 students in grades 4-6 were asked to rate their satisfaction for the app after 4 weeks of use. RESULTS: The main menu of "HAPPY ME" was composed of user profile, "EVERYDAY QUEST," exercise diary, diet diary, settings, and notifications. The app users were asked to complete 6-9 daily missions regarding healthy eating habits and physical activities through "EVERYDAY QUEST." The mean satisfaction scores for each variable were distributed from 3.6 to 4.0 points, and most of the students responded that they would continue to use the app (4.0 points). CONCLUSION: We developed a smartphone app (HAPPY ME) for 4th-6th grade elementary students aimed to provide educational information about healthy eating habits and physical activities in order to prevent childhood.

Adiposidade e perfil metabólico em crianças de escolas da zona urbana de Ouro Preto-MG / Adiposity and metabolic profile of schoolchildren in the urban areas of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais

A obesidade, doença multifatorial definida como excesso de gordura corporal, apresenta concomitância entre fatores de risco genéticos e ambientais. O diagnóstico precoce e as intervenções no período crítico do desenvolvimento da obesidade - infância e adolescência - têm sido recomendados, buscando-se evitar desfechos desfavoráveis na idade adulta. Este estudo transversal teve como objetivo caracterizar perfil lipídico, glicemia, adiponectina, leptina e grelina de escolares entre seis e nove anos, portadores de sobrepeso e obesidade, do município de Ouro Preto-MG. Os dados foram analisados a partir do teste de normalidade Shapiro Wilk; e nas comparações entre os grupos foi aplicado o teste paramétrico (Teste t) ou não paramétrico (Teste Mann Whitney), adotando-se intervalo de confiança de 95% e nível de significância para valores ≤ 0,05. A idade média da população escolar foi de 7,8 ± 1,1 anos, com prevalência de 8,9% de sobrepeso e 3% de obesidade. Foram identificados hipercolesterolemia em 5,5%, HDL alterado em 98,7%, taxa limítrofe de LDL em 32,4% e glicemia alterada em 46,6% das crianças. Na análise estratificada quanto ao gênero, foram observados valores maisaltos para leptina em meninas (p=0,032) e grelina nos meninos (p=0,033), não havendo diferença para as demais variáveis. Os resultados demonstram ser o excesso de peso entre escolares problema de saúde relevante no município, ressaltando-se a importância de implementação de programa de intervenção precoce por parte dos gestores. Elucidar os precursores da obesidade na infância pode levar a intervenções capazes de atenuar ou impedir suas consequências na juventude e fase adulta.

Obesity, defined as an excess in body fat, is a multifactorial disease involving both genetic and environmental risk factors. Early diagnosis and interventions during critical periods of development of obesity - childhood and adolescence - have been recommended, aiming at preventing unfavorable outcomes at a later age. This cross-sectional study sought tocharacterize the lipid profile, glucose, adiponectin, leptin and ghrelin in schoolchildren between six and nine years of age with overweight and obesity in the city of Ouro Preto (MG). The data was analyzed with the Shapiro Wilk normality test, groups comparisons were made with either a parametric (T test) or a nonparametric (Mann Whitney) test, adopting confidence intervals of 95% and a significance level of ≤ 0.05. The average age of the school population was 7.8 ± 1.1 years, with a prevalence of 8.9% of overweight and 3% of obesity. Hypercholesterolemia was found in 5.5%, HDL was abnormal in 98.7%, LDL levels were borderline in 32.4% and altered glucose levels were present in 46.6% of the children. In stratified analysis by gender, higher values of leptin in girls (p = 0.032) and ghrelin in boys (p = 0.033) were found, with no difference for the other variables. The results show that overweight/obesity among schoolchildren should be considered a significant health problem in this population, highlighting the importanceof implementing early intervention programs. Uncovering the precursors of childhood obesity could lead to interventions so as to prevent or mitigate its consequences in youth and adulthood.

Obesity in Singapore: Prevention & Control

Obesity is increasing in prevalence in Singapore. This is part of a worldwide phenomenon. Action is being taken in Singapore to prevent and control obesity. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. The basic strategy of obesity prevention and control however is quite straightforward and lies in achieving the caloric balance which is to reduce calorie intake and increase physical activity. To be effective however, obesity prevention and control requires multiple prevention and control interventions across the lifespan. There is a need for Health Promotion Board (HPB) to engage and mobilise various partners and stakeholders. Policies and programs have been customised in Singapore for different segments of the population and conducted at various settings – in schools, workplaces, healthcare institutions, and communities. The current efforts to prevent and control obesity in Singapore can be grouped into 5 areas: (1) Health promotion policies;(2) Promoting supportive environments through social programmes; (3) HPB collaborating with partners to promote healthy behaviour; (4)Empowering partners and individuals; and (5) Raising awareness through health education and communication.

Obesidade: um desafio para a saúde pública / Obesity: a challenge to public health

Introdução - A obesidade vem crescendo em sua magnitude epidemiológica no mundo todo, ocupando importante espaço no perfil de morbimortalidade, sendo apresentado como um grave problema populacional nos últimos anos, atingindo níveis consideráveis na saúde pública. O objetivo deste estudo foi levantar as dificuldades que os gestores encontram nas Unidades de Saúde do Distrito Sul do município de Campinas-SP, para implantar atividades/ práticas dirigidas a indivíduos obesos e oferecer um grupo de orientação para obesos na clinica de enfermagem da Universidade Paulista (UNIP). Material e Método - Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário composto por 11 questões aplicadas às 17 unidades de saúde. Resultados - Os resultados obtidos revelaram que apenas 4 (23,3%) unidades de saúde realizam o cadastramento de indivíduos obesos, somente 8 (47,06 %) unidades de saúde dispõem de atividades de educação em saúde e este planejamento é motivado pelos agravos associados à obesidade. Conclusões - O principal recurso utilizado pelas unidades de saúde são as discussões em grupo, sendo os profissionais com formação em medicina e enfermagem e os agentes comunitários os responsáveis pela condução dessa atividade. A ausência de atividades educativas nas unidades de saúde está relacionada com a falta de espaço físico que se destaca como o principal aspecto. Este estudo ratificou a dificuldade de promoção de educação em saúde para a população obesa.

Introduction - Obesity is growing in its magnificent epidemiology in the world, occupying important space in the profile of morbidity and mortality, being presented as a serious population problem in recent years, reaching levels achieved in public health. This study aimed to raise the difficulties that the managers are in the District Health Units of southern city of Campinas, São Paulo to implement activities / practices directed at obese subjects and offer guidance to a group of obese patients in clinical nursing at the University Paulista (UNIP). Material and Method - For data collection was used a questionnaire consisting of 11 questions applied to 17 units of Health. Results - Results showed that only 4 (23.3%) health units carry out registration of obese individuals, only 8 (47.06% ) units have health education activities in health planning and this is motivated by problems associated with obesity. Conclusions - The main resource used by health units are discussion groups and the professionals with training for medical and nursing staff and the community responsible for conducting this activity. The lack of educational activities in units of health is related to the lack of physical space is highlighted as the main point. This study confirmed the difficulty of promoting health education for the population obese.

Body Mass Index Change during and after the Childhood Obesity Prevention Program

BACKGROUND: This study was designed to find out the effect of school based obesity prevention intervention by considering the changes of BMI during both at the time of intervention and post-intervention. METHODS: The research was conducted at an elementary school located in Busan metropolitan city, where we measured the height and weight of 260 students at baseline, 6 months after the initiation, and 6 months after the intervention. The students were classified into three weight groups of normal, overweight and obesity according to the age and sex-specific BMI. RESULTS: The BMI decreased or maintained in 60% of the boys and 65% of the girls after the initial six months of the intervention, while after six months from the end of the intervention, BMI increased in 91% of the boys and 83% of the girls. The children's BMI significantly decreased during the intervention (P<0.01), whereas it significantly increased post intervention (P<0.05). In the logistic regression model including age, sex, initial BMI, and the follow-up status after the intervention, the increase of BMI by 1 unit was associated with 11% lower odds (95% CI 0.83~0.98) for BMI decrease and maintenance. Likewise, the increase of age by 1 year was associated with 24% lower odds (95% CI 0.59~0.98) for BMI decrease and maintenance. However, there was no significant predictors for BMI decrease and maintenance after the intervention. CONCLUSION: As the positive effect of this intervention for children is not consistent, the research should be more focused in finding out the effective method for prevention of obesity among elementary school children, as a better solution in the longrun.

Evaluation of School-based Obesity Prevention and Management Program in Korean Children

BACKGROUND: Childhood and adolescent obesity are major health concern impacting on short and long-term health. Prevention programs for obesity through school channel are essential. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and overweight among children and adolescence since 1990's, obesity prevention and management have been pursued in Korea. Schools, where students spend much of their daytime, are in a unique position to play a pivotal role in performing obesity prevention and management programs. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of school-based interventions designed to prevent or manage obesity among elementary, middle, and high school students in Korea. METHODS: Electronic database were searched using the following key words; obesity, obesity prevention, obesity prevention program, child, adolescence, and effectiveness. In this systematic review, school-based programs were evaluated with the assessment items. RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included in the study. Most programs include at least one of the following components: dietary changes, physical activity, behavioral modifications, and parental participation. Studies that involved multidisciplinary measures including dietary education, increased physical activity, parental involvement and behavioral modification and studies focused on increased physical activity among subjects showed positive results. But the majority of studies were short-term and secondary prevention among children, not adolescents, not randomized, and without control. Few studies used validated questionnaires and process evaluation. CONCLUSION: The development and application of evidence-based and feasible strategies in support of communities and families to the school-centered obesity prevention program are needed in the near future.

The Development of Educational CD-Program for Obesity Prevention and Management for Primary School Students / 간호학회지

PURPOSE: The study is designed to develop an educational CD-Program for prevention and control of obesity among primary school students. METHOD: The study is conducted from June 15, 2000 to April 15, 2002. Based on the course of program development suggested by Dick and Cray (1990), the study followed the planning, development, education and evaluation of a program. RESULT: The developed CD-Program consists 2 parts each for lower and higher grades of primary school students. The introduction part of the first trial for lower grade students uses quiz to encourage their motivations, the body proceeds with motion pictures and animations to trigger their interests. The introduction part of the second trial for the lower grades consists of remembering the exhibition lecture. The first trial for higher grades of primary school students builds on the contents of the low grades. Its body part, how to determine obesity and calculate ones own obesity, puts ones own weight and height in by the mouse. For the second trial of the higher grades, the body consists of life-style, diet, and regiments. CONCLUSION: The merits of this CD-Program are that to be possible an interaction between teachers and students.
