“…Men with high BMI and low aerobic capacity were associated with highest risk to develop hypertension in adulthood (Crump et al, 2016). In addition, a 27-year follow-up study which included 17059 Japanese men revealed that risk of incident hypertension positively and significantly increased with an increased BMI (Someya et al, 2018). This study suggested that the overweight BMI inflection point for vascular diseases among Japanese men was >23 kg/m 2 which was similar to the BMI cut-off used in our study (Someya et al, 2018).…”

OBJECTIVE: As Thailand modernizes an ensuing health risk transition associates with rising chronic non-communicable diseases, especially hypertension. This is a driving force for emerging vascular disease, especially stroke and hypertension. Studies in other countries have shown hypertension is associated with obesity. Longitudinal information is needed forthailand and here we present our cohort data collected over 8 years And recording incidence of hypertension and exposure to elevated abnormal BMI. DESIGN & METHODS: BMI effects on incident hypertension were investigated prospectively in a nationwide Thai Cohort Study (TCS) from 2005 to 2013. Data were derived from 42 785 off-campus Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University students returning mail-based questionnaire surveys in both 2005 and 2013. Participants analysed were normotensive at the start (40 548). Multivariable regression estimated adjusted relative risks estimate linking obesity (measured by BMI) and hypertension (self-reported) among Thai men and women. RESULTS: In Thailand from 2005 to 2013 the TCS 8-Year Incidence of hypertension was 5.1% (men 7.1%, women 3.6%), which meant 1958 participants developed hypertension. BMI was directly associated with an increased risk of hypertension. Compared to participants with a normal BMI (18.5-22.9 Kg/M2), The relative risks (95% confidence interval) of developing hypertension with a BMI of ≤ 18.5.23.0–24.9, 25-29.9 and >30 Kg/m2 were 0.54 (0.3-0.97), 1.8(1.49-2.18), 3.27 (2.73-3.91) and 6.73 (5.1-8.97) for men and 0.65 (0.45-0.95), 2.28 (1.81-2.88), 3.71 (2.96-4.64) and 9.72 (7.09-13.32) for women respectively (p-trend <0.0001). CONCLUSION: Our data confirmed the adverse effects of long-term high bmi on an increased risk of hypertension in Thai people. Therefore, Ministry of Public Health should develop a national program to encourage people to remain healthy with a normal BMI. There are many health gains from such a program and the information presented here shows clearly that decreased hypertension would be one of the expected benefits for the Thai population.

Introdução: Há uma falta de conhecimento sobre o perfil de saúde das pessoas que frequentam as academias de ginástica. Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de hipertensão arterial (HA) e sua associação com Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e Circunferência da Cintura (CC) em frequentadores de academias no município do Rio de Janeiro. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída de 2836 mulheres e 1707 homens com idades entre 19 e 64 anos. A HA foi diagnosticada como pressão arterial ≥140/90 mm Hg. Todas as medidas antropométricas seguiram as diretrizes preconizadas pela International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry. Resultados: As prevalências de HA (10,9%), sobrepeso (30,3%) e obesidade (11,5%), foram significativamente maiores nos homens e associados com a idade, e a prevalência de CC elevada (56,6%) foi significativamente maior em mulheres e se associou com a idade (p<0,001). Apesar da prevalência de HA ter sido relativamente baixa, tanto o IMC quanto o CC mostraram-se marcadores associados a HA. Conclusão: Profissionais que trabalham em academias de ginástica devem ter conhecimento sobre a importância desses indicadores e principalmente sobre a sua relação com a HA.

“…The anthropometric, physical tness tests and motor ability tests are implemented once per year at the university over the four years of university studies. The J-Fit Study is a project that uses the accumulated 50 years of data collected as indicated above for research into the association between physical tness, motor ability at a young age and future diseases, such as diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension [15][16][17][18]. In the present study, we used data obtained from tests results of subjects in their fourth year at university.…”

Background Physical fitness and motor ability are associated with the incidence of locomotive syndrome (LS) in the elderly. The relationship between physical fitness and motor ability at a young age and LS risk in later life remains to be clarified. This study examined the association between physical fitness and motor ability among university students and their risk of LS in middle and old age. Methods The participants were 231 male alumni aged 48–65 years of the Department of Physical Education of a university in Japan. Physical fitness and motor ability test results during their fourth year of university were used. Physical fitness tests included side-step test, vertical jump tests, back muscle, grip strength, trunk lift, standing trunk flexion, and step-test. Motor ability was tested using the 50-meter, 1,500-meter run, running long jump, hand-ball throw, and pull-up test. LS risk was assessed using a seven-question standardized self-administered Loco-check questionnaire. Participants were divided into three groups (low, medium, and high) based on physical fitness and motor ability test results at young age and the LS risk was assessed at older age across the three groups using the Cox proportional hazards models. Results From the 2017 follow-up questionnaires, LS risk was suspected in 31 (13.4%) participants. Higher performance on the side-step test was associated with reduced risk of LS (hazard ratio 0.22; 95% confidence interval, 0.058–0.798, P=0.022). Conclusions Good agility (side-step test) at a young age may reduce future risk of LS among middle-aged and older men.
