“…In the present study male subjects had a significantly higher CVD risk than did the female ones. These results are in accordance with those reported by Huang et al [24]. The present study revealed a significant increase in the Odd ratio amounting to 4.58 and 5.24 among intermediate and high risk males in comparison with female ones, respectively.…”

The study aimed to characterize the major cardiovascular risk factors using Framingham Risk Score (FRS) among Saudis. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the expected 10 years FRS for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among Saudi subjects. In the present study there was a significant association between the 10 years risk of developing CHD and BMI. The results revealed an increase in BMI contributing to significant increase in the 10 years risk of CHD among males. The overall distribution of FRS among males regardless the BMI category as a percentage of the total male subjects revealed that males were at low, medium and high CHD risk of 71.4%, 14.27% and 14.3%, respectively. However, female subjects showed 91.5%, 4.8% and 3.6% at low, medium and high FRS, respectively. Moreover, significant increases in the Odd ratio amounting to 4.58 and 5.24 among intermediate and high risk males in comparison with female ones, respectively. BMI strongly correlates with the expected 10 years FRS for CVD. Also there is a gender specific susceptablity for CVD risk among Saudi males compared to female ones. Socioeconomic, behavioral, awareness about healthy choices and genetic characteristics of obesity should be taken in consideration since extrapolating other population's studies to Saudi one might be misleading.

Introduction: The objective of the present study was to determine educational level of the workers of a tea factory on occupational health and safety and to reveal the factors affecting a healthy lifestyle. Methods: The present descriptive research was carried out in a tea factory where 352 workers are employed between December 2016 and January 2017. 303 volunteer workers were enrolled into the study and a questionnaire form including topics of sociodemographic characteristics, occupational health and safety (OHS) implementations, health state and working conditions that was developed through literature information as well as Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS) were used for data analysis. Results: Age average of the workers who were all male was 39.88±5.53. Among the workers, 70.29% were elementary school graduate and more than half of the participants (62.70%) have a middle income (500-1,000 USD). Mean score of HLBS scale was 118.00±20.28 points. Average score of the sub-topics was the highest in health responsibility item with 22.06 points whereas the lowest score was detected in physical activity sub-topic. It was detected that 64.69% of the workers had an occupational health and safety training at least once during their lifetime and 21.78% use a protective equipment. Rate of exposure to work-related accidents was detected as 10.57%. Conclusion: To have occupational health and safety training, work experience and previous work-related accidents affected healthy lifestyle behaviors.

“…Nutritional behavior plays an important role in predicting cardiovascular risk for any category of BMI, and exercise behavior is also an important predictor for the presence of normal weight or overweight [43]. Further research is required to determine the mechanisms through which exercise training may affect and improve eating behavior, besides increasing the understanding that obesity is not a simple matter of will power or that merely eating less and exercising more is the solution [44].…”

The Effects of the Type of Exercise and Physical Activity on Eating Behavior and Body Composition in Overweight and Obese Subjects

et al. 2020

The aim of this study was to examine whether a type of exercise favors better compliance with a prescribed diet, higher eating-related motivation, healthier diet composition or greater changes in body composition in overweight and obese subjects. One hundred and sixty-two (males n = 79), aged 18–50 years, were randomized into four intervention groups during 24 weeks: strength, endurance, combined strength + endurance and guideline-based physical activity; all in combination with a 25–30% caloric restriction diet. A food frequency questionnaire and a “3-day food and drink record” were applied pre- and post-intervention. Diet and exercise-related motivation levels were evaluated with a questionnaire developed for this study. Body composition was assessed by DXA and habitual physical activity was measured by accelerometry. Body weight, body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage decreased and lean body mass increased after the intervention, without differences by groups. No interactions were observed between intervention groups and time; all showing a decreased in energy intake (p < 0.001). Carbohydrate and protein intakes increased, and fat intake decreased from pre- to post-intervention without significant interactions with intervention groups, BMI category or gender (p < 0.001). Diet-related motivation showed a tendency to increase from pre- to post-intervention (70.0 ± 0.5 vs 71.0 ± 0.6, p = 0.053), without significant interactions with intervention groups, BMI or gender. Regarding motivation for exercise, gender x time interactions were observed (F(1,146) = 7.452, p = 0.007): Women increased their motivation after the intervention (pre: 17.6 ± 0.3, post: 18.2 ± 0.3), while men maintained it. These findings suggest that there are no substantial effects of exercise type on energy intake, macronutrient selection or body composition changes. After a six-month weight loss program, individuals did not reduce their motivation related to diet or exercise, especially women. Individuals who initiate a long-term exercise program do not increase their energy intake in a compensatory fashion, if diet advices are included.
