“…[38][39][40][41] However, AA adolescents have higher rates of obesity, 42 insulin resistance, 43 and elevated blood pressure 44 and a greater likelihood of an adult diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) versus non-Hispanic Whites. 45 While we did not have non-Hispanic White PCE/non-PCE comparison groups, it is probably unlikely that the previously reported difference in metabolic syndrome between AAs and non-Hispanic Whites can be explained by the possible PCE/non-PCE exposure. However, this does not eliminate the possibility that PCE moderates the relationship between race and metabolic syndrome.…”

Objective: The long-term effects of prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) on physical health are largely unknown. No human studies support or refute a relationship between PCE and the long-term risk for cardiovascular and/or metabolic disease. We investigated the association of PCE on primary cardiometabolic disease risk factors in African Americans (AA) aged 18 to 20 years. Main Outcome Measures:Fasting serum insulin, glucose, lipids, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; systolic and diastolic blood pressures; and the components and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome.Results: There were no PCE-associated differences in cardiometabolic disease risk factors including the metabolic syndrome and its individual components in AAs aged 18 to 20 years.

“…41 Obesity increases the risk of developing serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and certain forms of cancer. 42 Companion animals, particularly dogs, encourage regular exercise, especially walking. Walkers with companion dogs are more likely to maintain any weight loss over a year.…”

Over two thirds of Americans live with pets and consider them important members of the family. Pets benefit human health (zooeyia) in 4 ways: as builders of social capital, as agents of harm reduction, as motivators for healthy behavior change, and as potential participants in treatment plans. Conversely, pets can present risks to their owners. They are potential sources of zoonotic disease and injury. Pets can also challenge a family's prioritization of financial and social resources. To activate the benefits of zooeyia and appropriately calibrate and mitigate zoonotic risk, physicians first need to know about the pets in their patients' families. Asking about pets is a simple and feasible approach to assess patients' environmental history and social capital. Asking about pets is a nonthreatening way to build rapport and demonstrates an interest in the whole family, which can improve the physician-patient therapeutic alliance. Physicians can use an interprofessional, collaborative approach with veterinarians to address zoonotic health risks and leverage zooeyia. (J Am Board Fam Med 2015;28:526 -534.)

“…Thus, measures to prevent diabetes and metabolic syndrome are vital to reduce the escalating cost of this highly endemic disorder. Many complications associated with diabetes, such as hypertension, stroke, impaired mental health, muscular weakness, depression, and diurnal somnolence have also been linked to sedentary life (4,5). Moreover, it has been largely demonstrated that lifestyle interventions that include regular physical activity and healthier dietary habits are beneficial for diabetic patients (6,7).…”

Objective: To investigate associations between physical activity, comorbidity severity, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects and methods: All individuals, 200 patients and 50 controls, aged from 40 to 60 years, were investigated by interview, and all variables were measured concurrently. Physical activity was evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) by the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), comorbidity severity by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and depressive symptoms by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II ≥ 16). Single and multiple regression analysis evaluated the effects of independent variables on physical activity. Results: The patients had more depressive symptoms and greater comorbidity severity (p < 0.005). Diabetic patients showed better activity levels (IPAQ) (p < 0.005). Functional Capacity, General State of Health, and Physical Limitation were the most affected subscales in the SF-36 evaluation of the HRQL. Sedentary diabetic patients had higher waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratios, more depressive symptoms, and worse HRQL. Functional capacity (p = 0.000), followed by General State of Health (p = 0.02), were the health status measure subscales independently associated with physical activity. Conclusions: The findings suggest that increasing patient independence and treating depressive symptoms can promote physical activity for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. It is suggested that group activities and caregivers/family support might compensate for the patient dependence, and increase adherence to exercise programs in those that are less active.

Sujeitos e métodos: Todos os indivíduos, 200 pacientes e 50 controles, com idades entre 40 e 60 anos, foram analisados por entrevistas, e todas as variáveis foram medidas neste mesmo momento. A atividade física foi avaliada pelo International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS), pelo Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36); a gravidade das comorbidades, pelo Índice de Comorbidade de Charlson (CCI); e os sintomas depressivos foram avaliados pelo Inventário de Depressão de Beck (BDI-II ≥ 16). A análise de regressão simples e múltipla avaliou os efeitos das variáveis independentes sobre a atividade física. Resultados: Os pacientes apresentaram mais sintomas depressivos e maior gravidade das comorbidades (p < 0,005). Os pacientes diabéticos apresentaram melhores níveis de atividade (IPAQ) (p < 0,005). A Capacidade Funcional, a Condição Geral de Saúde e a Limitação Física foram as subescalas mais afetadas na avaliação da QVRS no SF-36. Os ...
