“…Tal y como se aprecia en el estudio realizado en Perú por Carrasco-Idrogo  García-Flores (2023) a estudiantes entre 9 a 12 años, donde 3 de cada 10 tiene un EN por exceso, pero obteniendo un valor mayor en relación al EN por bajo peso en comparación de esta muestra. A su vez, el trabajo de Carvalho et al (2023) en adolescentes de colegios públicos en Brasil (2017-18), donde muestra que 7 de cada 10 adolescentes se encuentra con un EN normal. Si bien estas investigaciones han sido publicadas recientemente los datos obtenidos en su mayoría, fueron tomados antes de la pandemia.…”

El estado nutricional y la actividad física es una preocupación mundial, como se manifiesta en lo declarado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud cuando prevé que casi dos de cada tres personas tendrán sobrepeso en 2030 y que más del 80% de los escolares no realiza la actividad física necesaria al día. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre la actividad física y el estado nutricional, según el índice de masa corporal en los adolescentes chilenos. Tiene un diseño descriptivo trasversal con una muestra que estuvo compuesta por n=3169 sujetos. Los instrumentos fueron el cuestionario PAQ-C y mediciones antropométricas talla-peso y se desarrollaron análisis descriptivos y la prueba ANOVA. Los resultados indican que no existe relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el estado nutricional y la actividad física de los adolescentes, pero si en relación con el estado nutricional entre los grupos de edad y sexo. En general a mayor edad, disminuye el estado nutricional por exceso, en el caso de los hombres lo mantienen mayor que el de las mujeres entre 10 a 15 años. Por el contrario, en el grupo de más de 16 años, las mujeres mantienen una puntuación más alta en el estado nutricional por exceso, invirtiéndose estos valores en los hombres que alcanzan un estado nutricional normal mayor. Se concluye que la mala nutrición y la leve o poca actividad física de los adolescentes requiere urgentemente implementar estrategias que beneficien e impulsen la práctica de actividad física y una dieta equilibrada diaria. Palabras claves: adolescentes, nutrición, ejercicio físico, Chile. Abstract. Nutritional status and physical activity is a worldwide concern, as stated by the World Health Organization when it predicts that almost two out of three people will be overweight in 2030 and that more than 80% of schoolchildren do not perform the necessary physical activity per day. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between physical activity and nutritional status, according to body mass index in Chilean adolescents. It has a cross-sectional descriptive design with a sample that consisted of n=3169 subjects. The instruments were the PAQ-C questionnaire and anthropometric height-weight measurements, and descriptive analyses and ANOVA tests were performed. The results indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between nutritional status and physical activity in adolescents, but there is a statistically significant relationship between nutritional status among age and sex groups. In general, the older the age, the lower the nutritional status due to excess, in the case of men it is higher than that of women between 10 and 15 years of age. On the contrary, in the group over 16 years of age, women maintain a higher score in nutritional status by excess, reversing these values in men who reach a higher normal nutritional status. Keywords: adolescents, nutrition, physical exercise, Chile.

“…One of the main predictors of adult health and nutrition is one's dietary condition while still in school. Health risks related to undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies continue to be serious issues in India and around the world (Carvalho Souza et al, 2023). Over the past three decades, malnutrition has become a problem among school-age children in developed countries.…”

Purpose This study aims to assess the nutritional status and physical fitness status of school children among major ethnic and Dalit populations, in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to mothers or caregivers of the children, followed by physical fitness assessments. Anthropometric indicators were used to evaluate nutritional status, including body mass index-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height, based on Centre for Disease Control guidelines. Physical fitness was assessed through tests for flexibility, abdominal, muscular, speed, and lower limb strength. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Findings Approximately 45% of boys and 55% of girls had normal nutritional status. However, the study also identified varying percentages of children with stunted, underweight, wasted, and mixed nutritional issues, highlighting the prevalence of malnutrition among this population. Boys consistently outperformed girls in terms of physical fitness across all age groups, with 84% to 90% of boys meeting established fitness criteria. Girls face a 1.8-fold and 2.2-fold increased risk of wasted and underweight conditions compared to boys. Lower-income group children exhibit a 2.6-fold and 1.6-fold increased risk of wasted conditions and underweight conditions. Children consuming meals twice a day have a 2.1-fold and 2.5-fold elevated risk of wasted and underweight conditions compared to others. Originality/value This study highlights the need for interventions and strategies to improve the nutritional and health status of ethnic children in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, considering their diverse dietary habits and lifestyles. By addressing these issues, the authors can empower these communities to actively contribute to the social and economic development of the region.

Background: Nucleus Pulposus Herniation (NPH) is a disease in which the annulus fibrosus ruptures, causing the nucleus pulposus to protrude or bulge and press against the spinal canal, causing sciatic pain. One of the risk factors for Nucleus pulposus herniation was Body Mass Index (BMI). Objective: This study aim the relationship between BMI and the incidence of Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) patients at UKI General Hospital from January to June 2020. Methods: The subjects of the study were 24 patients with lumbar disc herniation who were treated at UKI General Hospital from January to June 2020 that were taken from medical records. Results: 63 samples were analyzed that obtained 24 (38.0%) patients with lumbar disc herniation, and patients with lumbar disc herniation with BMI ≥ 23 as many as 18 subjects (75.0%). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between BMI and LDH patients at UKI General Hospital.
