“…An important place is given to fundamental research on certain aspects of health diagnostics and monitoring: interdisciplinary research of health mechanisms and affecting factors (Kooiker & Christiansen, 1995;van Doorslaer et al, 1997;Kogan, 206); creation of databases of valeological information (Nikiforova, 2011;Tolmacheva, 2015;European Database.., 2018); mathematical models (Kalachikova & Korchagina, 2015;Petrash & Murtazina, 2018;Jenatabadi et al, 2021;Wedlund & Kvedar, 2021); expert systems of evaluating health indicators (Allegra et al, 2020;Jespersen et al, 2021); and intellectual health support (Meyer, 2010;Chestnov et al, 2015;Kakani, 2020;Bent et al, 2021).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only become a test for all mankind, but also gave reason to rethink the attitude to their health not only for people from the high-risk category, but also for everyone. Before the pandemic, the concept of a healthy lifestyle was gaining a powerful economic momentum (popularization of communities associated with fitness products, advertising, healthy products, etc.). But has the trend changed after the restrictions were eased? The purpose of this paper is to find out whether the healthy lifestyle concept affected the preservation of the health of the nation during the pandemic (is there a link between the level of national health and the degree of resistance to pandemics?). The study focuses on two countries — Russia and China. The difference in the population’s perception of the healthy lifestyle concept, promotion of a healthy lifestyle at the governmental level, and the assessment of its effectiveness are determined based on the analysis of secondary statistical data, a survey of 1,230 respondents from Russia and China in late 2020 — early 2021, as well as using econometric factor analysis. The results obtained can be scaled to the rest of the BRICS countries in order to adapt existing state programs to preserving the health of nations in the future.

“…The prevalence of obesity in the United States has reached alarming levels, posing a significant global health concern. 1 Recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) reveals a substantial increase in obesity rates between 2013 and 2018. The prevalence of adult obesity rose from 34.9% in 2013‐2014 to 42.8% in 2017–2018, representing a significant jump.…”

ImportanceThe prevalence of obesity among United States adults has increased from 34.9% in 2013–2014 to 42.8% in 2017–2018. Developing methods to model the increase of obesity over‐time is a necessity to know how to accurately quantify its cost and to develop solutions to combat this national public health emergency.MethodsA cross‐sectional cohort study using the publicly available National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2017–2020) was conducted in individuals who completed the weight questionnaire and had accurate data for both weight at the time of survey and weight 10 years ago. To model the dynamics of obesity, a Markov transition state matrix was created, which allowed for the analysis of weight transitions over time. Bootstrap simulation was incorporated to account for uncertainty and generate multiple simulated datasets, providing a more robust estimation of the prevalence and trends in obesity within the cohort.ResultsOf the 6146 individuals who met the inclusion criteria, 3024 (49%) individuals were male and 3122 (51%) were female. There were 2252 (37%) White individuals, 1257 (20%) Hispanic individuals, 1636 (37%) Black individuals, and 739 (12%) Asian individuals. The average BMI was 30.16 (SD = 7.15), the average weight was 83.67 kilos (SD = 22.04), and the average weight change was a 3.27 kg (SD = 14.97) increase in body weight. A total of 2411 (39%) individuals lost weight, and 3735 (61%) individuals gained weight. 87 (1%) individuals were underweight (BMI <18.5), 2058 (33%) were normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI <25), 1376 (22%) were overweight (25 ≤ BMI <30) and 2625 (43%) were in the obese category (BMI >30).ConclusionUnited States adults are at risk of transitioning from normal weight to the overweight or obese category. Markov modeling combined with bootstrap simulations can accurately model long‐term weight status.

“…Physical activity participation is a key enabler of health indicators such as obesity and health-related physical fitness [31][32][33]. Obesity is described as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation which may impair health" and is measured as greater than two standard deviations above the World Health Organization Growth Reference Median [34] (p. 1). Although a significant body of evidence indicates the preventability of obesity in adolescents, over 340 million adolescents worldwide and one in every five in the Republic of Ireland are considered overweight or obese [35,36].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of different levels of typical school provision of physical education, physical activity and sports on the physical activity behaviors, health and wellbeing of Irish adolescents (13–14 years). Methods: A cross-sectional sample (n = 795) of adolescents (age: 14.28 ± 0.45), enrolled at schools that are representative of higher (n = 7), moderate (n = 6) and lower (n = 7) levels of a typical school provision of physical education, physical activity and sports was included. A physical activity behaviors, health and wellbeing questionnaire with established test–retest reliability was utilized to measure the variation in physical activity behaviors, health and wellbeing. Results: Data analysis indicated a significant variation in the levels of physical activity behaviors and health across different levels of typical school provision of physical education, physical activity and sports. The evidence was reported both as unadjusted group level analysis and adjusted covariate analysis. Favorable outcomes for higher levels of typical school provision were found for physical activity participation, body mass index, social support from peers to participate in physical activity and enjoyment of physical education for girls and somatic health complaints and enjoyment of physical education for boys. Conclusions: The findings stemming from this inquiry enable schools to optimize their environments for health promotion and, thus, further enhance their contribution to public health policy.
