“…This data is used by researchers and physicians to educate patients and the public of potential health risks detected within a specified category [9]. Researchers continue to evaluate the correlation between BMI and long-standing illness as well as associations between waist circumference as a predictor of health [10]. Expansion to this research dives into the association of childhood BMI as childhood obesity is also on the rise [11].…”

Body mass index (BMI), a measurement based on a person's height and weight, allows the classification of individuals into categories such as obese or overweight. With these classifications, we can assess risk for hypertension, diabetes, cancer, hypercholesterolemia, and other chronic diseases. Furthermore, childhood BMI serves as a prediction method for health and disease later in life. Along with BMI, researchers also study waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio in correlation with the above-mentioned chronic illnesses. This brief review explores the associations between body mass index, waist circumference, and the waist-hip ratio as measurements and their capability as predictors for persistent conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

Objective We examined the glycemic benefits of commercial weight-loss programs as compared to control/education or counseling among overweight and obese adults who had or who were at increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and references cited by individual programs. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ≥12 weeks duration. Two reviewers extracted information on study design, population characteristics, interventions, and mean changes in hemoglobin A1c and glucose. Results We included 18 RCTs. Few trials occurred among individuals with T2DM. In this population, Jenny Craig reduced A1c at least 0.4% more than counseling at 12 months, Nutrisystem significantly reduced A1c 0.3% more than counseling at 6 months, and OPTIFAST reduced A1c 0.3% more than counseling at 6 months. Among individuals at increased risk for T2DM, few studies evaluated glycemic outcomes, and when reported, most did not show substantial reductions. Discussion Few trials have examined whether commercial weight-loss programs result in glycemic benefits for their participants, particularly among individuals at increased risk of T2DM. Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, and OPTIFAST show promising glycemic lowering benefits for patients with T2DM, although additional studies are needed to confirm these conclusions.

Body Image Perception in High School Students: The Relationship with Gender, Weight Status, and Physical Activity

et al. 2023

Body image perception includes body size assessment, body desirability estimation, and perceptions concerning one’s own body shape and size. Adolescence is a period of intense and prompt physical transformation, which changes the perception of one’s body. This represents a critical period for the development of body image. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate body image perception and investigate the relationships between it, weight status, sex, and physical activity in a sample of high school students living in Italy. General demographic information and details about physical activity were collected. Body image perception was measured with a body silhouette and two indexes were calculated: the FID (Feel minus Ideal Discrepancy) to evaluate the discrepancy between the perceived current figure and the ideal figure; and the FAI (Feel weight status minus Actual weight status Inconsistency) to observe improper perception of weight status. In addition, body shape concerns were evaluated with the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), in which participants reported the frequency of experiencing negative thoughts about their body shape in the last four weeks. Two hundred and four students were included in the study (155 = female, mean age = 17.13 ± 1.70; 49 = male, mean age = 17.25 ± 1.69). Females felt more concerned about body shape than males (χ2 = 11.347, p = 0.001). Distinctions emerged in terms of body mass index, the scores of Feel minus Ideal Discrepancy (FID), Feel weight status minus Actual weight status Inconsistency (FAI), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), and of the silhouette mean comparisons due to sex, weight status, and PA interaction effects (p < 0.001). Additionally, 94% of the BSQ variability could be explained by sex, weight status, and PA. Although no direct effects were observed on body image perception, healthy habit promotion, such as physical activity, could positively affect adolescent lives.
