“…Obesity is one of the problems strictly related to cultural and social factors [11,12]. Weight presents a seasonal variation, depending on the intensity of physical activity and related to the amount of food intake [13]. According to a Romanian report, obesity and overweight could be prevented with a proper diet, which is also cost-effective and simple to be introduced to a wide range of population [14].…”

The constantly and intensely changing modern society has a negative influence on the the general population�s health status. Risk factors being deeply inserted in the structure of the modern society can hardly be influenced and corrected. The aim of the study was the lifestyle- and diet-related comparison of two distinct adult populations from Romania: Bacau and Tirgu Mures. Material and methods: We evaluated the dietary habits, alcohol consumption and physical activity by a complex, validated questionnaire. Body mass index was also determined. The adult population from Tirgu Mures numbered 352 subjects, who were compared to the adults from Bacau, numbering 231 individuals. The considered threshold of significance was 0.05. Body mass index is over the normal range in more than 2/3 of the subjects. The overweight occurrence was 37.95%. The majority of the subjects (77.5%) has regular daily exercise (30 minutes or more). Daily alcohol consumption was present in 42.42% of the cases. Dietary habits were also analyzed: 61.9% of the subjects consume breakfast daily, and 46.94% of them consumes snacks between meals 2-3 times per week. A statistical difference could be observed regarding the frequency of breakfast consumption and body mass index (p-0.042): 2/3 of the studied adults from Tirgu Mures who eat breakfast sometimes having their body mass index over 25 kg/m2. Regarding physical activity a significant difference could be observed in case of those who responded rarely or never (p-0.027) (76.0% of Mures county with this response vs. only 24.0% in Bacau). The frequency of alcohol consumption is higher in Tirgu Mures and surroundings in case of once or several times per week consumption (p-0.005). Instructional and educational interventions targeting the development of healthier lifestyle habits in general population are worthy and needed to reduce the risk factors associated with the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and reducing the burden upon the society of these diseases.

The most common comorbidities in patients with diabetes mellitus are cardiovascular diseases, obesity, dyslipidemia, thyroid disorders but other associated diseases may frequently occur. Laboratory tests are useful investigation methods that may reveal the subclinical manifestations of the disease but they are also essential for patient monitoring. The aim of the study was to assess laboratory parameters and associated diseases in diabetic subjects and to implement a scoring system with a predictive role in the evolution of the cases. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 195 subjects with documented type 1 or type 2 diabetes. About half of the cases were collected from the Procardia outpatient unit, and the rest were patients admitted to the Diabetology Clinic in T�rgu Mure�. The study was performed between January - June 2017. The results of the laboratory tests, as well as the information regarding comorbidities and treatment, was collected and patients� body mass index was calculated. Based on the clinical data, a scoring system, called Diabetes Complication Severity Index (DCSI) with a predictive role, was implemented. The diabetic outpatients presented significantly better carbohydrate metabolic balance compared to the hospitalized subjects. No significant differences could be observed regarding kidney function, hepatic status and lipid profile of the two subgroups of diabetic subjects. The most important comorbidity observed in both patient groups was arterial hypertension. The hospitalized diabetic subjects had significantly higher incidence of ischemic heart disease and significantly lower incidence of thyroid disorders compared to the outpatients. The DCSI scoring system revealed that comorbidities are more frequently present in the hospitalized patients compared to the ambulant diabetic subjects. Evaluation of clinical status and laboratory results in diabetic patients followed by implementation of a scoring system based on the data obtained regarding comorbidities could help clinicians to set up an individual treatment plan for these patients, focusing on preventing other complications.
