Opis:
The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review examining predictors of lost-time injury, illness and disability (IID) in the workplace, with a focus on obesity as a predictor, and to evaluate the relationship between obesity and losttime IID. The study objective was also to analyze workplace disability prevention and interventions aimed at encouraging a healthy lifestyle among employees and reducing obesity and IID, as well as to identify research gaps. The search was conducted in several major online databases. Articles included in the review were published in English in peer-reviewed journals between January 2003 and December 2014, and were found to be of good quality and of relevance to the topic. Each article was critically reviewed for inclusion in this study. Studies that focused on lost-time IID in the workplace were reviewed and summarized. Workers in overweight and obese categories are shown to be at a higher risk of workplace IID, are more likely to suffer from lost-time IID, and experience a slower recovery compared to workers with a healthy body mass index (BMI) score. Lost-time IID is costly to an employer and an employee; therefore, weight reduction may financially benefit both – workers and companies. It was found that some companies have focused on developing interventions that aid reduction of weight and the practice of active lifestyle among their employees.

Opis:
The aim of this paper was to summarize scientific literature on obesity in policemen through a systematic review of observational studies. For this purpose the following electronic databases were selected: Medline by Pubmed, CINAHL, and Scopus; and a manual search of the referenced studies concerning this topic was performed. There were no restrictions with respect to the year or language of the publication. Twenty-three studies were identified and 9 articles, considered as potentially relevant, were included. The labor time, shift and career progression promoted changes in body composition. Most of the policemen taking part in the studies included in this paper were overweight (BMI: 25.2–29.3), obese (body fat ≥ 25%), had increased waist (90.4–102 cm) and abdominal perimeters (18.9–90.5 cm), and had a higher risk of chronic disease, which is associated with depression and stress development. Interventional studies are needed for the purpose of proposing preventive and rehabilitation programs, which would result in providing physical and mental well-being, improvement of life quality and, especially, prevention of obesity related to police work.

Opis:
Objectives: This study examined the effect of shift work on developing the metabolic syndrome by comparing groups of exposed and unexposed Iranian drivers. Methods: We considered as night-shift drivers those drivers whose shifts included at least 15 h per week between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Daytime drivers were defi ned as drivers working regularly without shift work. 3039 shift work drivers were selected. These were matched with non-shift workers. The differences in baseline characteristics and the prevalence of the components of the metabolic syndrome were assessed with Student's t test, and chi-square tests. Results: We found central adiposity in 52.0% of the shift workers versus 42.6% of the day workers (p < 0.0001). The hypertension component was not signifi cantly related to shift work (p > 0.05); but there were signifi cant differences as regards other components of the metabolic syndrome (p < 0.0001). Among the shift workers, the odds ratios of the increased FBS, low HDL-C, higher TG levels, as well as higher waist circumference were 1.992 (95% CI: 1.697-2.337), 1.973 (95% CI: 1.759-2.213), 1.692 (95% CI: 1.527-1.874), and 1.460 (95% CI: 1.320-1.616), respectively. The metabolic syndrome was more common among the shift workers (OR = 1.495; 95% CI: 1.349-1.657). Conclusion: In evaluating such results, further consideration is needed to fi nd pathophysiological clarifi cation; in turn, stress linked to shift work must be considered to likely have had a relevant infl uence on the outcome. In our opinion, shift work acts as an occupational factor for the metabolic syndrome.

Objectives The pathological increase in the amount of fat in the body is the cause of many diseases. The review of literature and the still current topic suggests the need to continue research on the relationship of obesity in adults with socio-demographic factors, the place of residence, the environment and health behaviors. The aim of the study was to identify factors conducive to the occurrence or coexistence of overweight or normal body weight among Gdańsk residents having school-age children. Material and Methods The primary research tool was a survey questionnaire to be filled in individually, concerning such issues as neighborhood, health behaviors, physical activity and the factors that affect these behaviors, and the risk of obesity. To examine the relationship between neighborhood, health behaviors and overweight, the logistic regression method was applied to determine the odds ratios (OR), showing the extent to which the probability of overweight or obesity increases/decreases. Results A higher level of education as well as a higher income per family member were associated with more correct values of the body mass index (BMI). A statistically significant relationship between the selected health behaviors in non-obese and overweight/obese groups was found. The significance of these was related to such variables as the duration of sleep, eating fast food products, drinking sweetened soft drinks, and eating canned and fried foods. The number of hours of sleep turned out to be significant. There was no significant relationship between the weight status and neighborhood. Conclusions The identification of the risk factors for overweight and obesity among parents of school-age children allows for the implementation of educational activities in this area to interdisciplinary procedures for the health of Tri-City residents.

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of obesity, alcoholic beverage consumption, unhealthy alcohol use and sudden sleep onset at the wheel among Italian truck drivers. In addition to prevalence rates, this study also aimed at investigating potential predictors for sudden-onset sleepiness and obesity. Material and Methods A sample of truck drivers was extracted from the database of the High Risk Professional Driver Study. Data concerning demographics, anthropometry, medical information and working conditions were collected using anonymous questionnaires. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association of the reported body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption and sudden sleep onset with working conditions and general lifestyle factors. Results Three hundred and thirty-five questionnaires were collected. According to their BMI, 45% of the participants were overweight and 21.4% of them were obese. Twenty-four point two percent declared they drank alcoholic beverages during working hours or work breaks and 21.3% of the drivers had an Alcohol Use Disorders Identyfication Test Consumption (AUDIT C) score ≥ 5 (the threshold value for unhealthy alcohol use). Forty-one point six percent of the interviewees experienced one episode of sudden sleep onset at the wheel per month (5.5% per week and 0.9% daily). Predictive factors for obesity were: length of service (odds ratio (OR) = 1.09, confidence interval (95% CI): 1.04–1.15, p < 0.001) and the AUDIT C total score (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.08–1.66, p = 0.008). Predictive factors for sudden-onset sleepiness at the wheel were: age > 55 years old (OR = 5.22, 95% CI: 1.29–21.1, p = 0.020), driving more than 50 000 km per year (OR = 2.89, 95% CI: 1.37–6.11, p = 0.006) and the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ) score > 11 (adjusted OR = 2.97, 95% CI: 1.22–7.21, p = 0.016). Conclusions This study strongly emphasizes the need for intervention in order to reduce and prevent important risk factors for the sake of road safety and truck drivers’ health.

Opis:
Objectives Heavy vehicle transport workers have a high risk of obesity and obesity-related disorders including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary nature of their work makes a healthy work and lifestyle balance difficult to achieve. Educational interventions that promote behavioral changes have been shown to be effective in various group settings. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of metabolic risk factors among a population of urban bus drivers; to deliver a 3-month educational intervention specifically tailored for the workplace environment of transport workers; and to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention through quantitative measurements and qualitative feedback. Material and Methods Thirty-three bus drivers from depots in south Queensland were recruited for the study. Baseline metabolic data were collected through anthropometric measurements, blood collection and diet/lifestyle questionnaires. Metabolic risk factors that were analyzed included: waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose, blood triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Three interactive seminars were delivered over a 3-month period. At the end of the period, data collection was repeated. Results At the commencement of the study, 35% of the participants exhibited ≥ 3 of the metabolic risk factors that characterize metabolic syndrome. This is higher than the reported prevalence in the general Australian population (22.1%). A total 21 of the 33 participants remained committed to the intervention and provided pre and post intervention data. Of these, 28% (N = 6) showed a decrease in one or more of the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. There was a significant increase in the average HDL-C after the intervention. Qualitative feedback indicated that the workers benefited from the program, especially regarding their awareness of the risks associated with their profession. Conclusions This pilot study demonstrates that lifestyle education seminars specifically tailored for the workplace can have an impact on the health behaviors of transport workers.

Objectives To investigate the prevalence of obesity among different types of employment status in the Italian working population, and to examine associated risk factors. Material and Methods Cross-sectional survey of 36 814 people that declared to have been occupied with the same type of contract for at least 5 years was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression models were built considering workers’ sex, age, education, family body mass index (BMI) category, leisure time and occupational physical activity, weight control habits, smoking habit, use of drugs, number of working hours per week, and type of working contract. Results After adjusting for covariates, the importance of temporary-employment was confirmed by multivariate analysis, with odds ratio (OR) = 1.32 for obesity (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07–1.63) with respect to employed persons; the association was even more important in workers occupied for more than 40 h/week (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.07–2.66); moreover, shiftwork was confirmed as a risk factor for obesity in workers (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.94–1.2). Dealing with different occupational group, some categories were associated with obesity; in particular, this phenomenon involved people employed in agriculture (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.22–1.7), transportation (OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.26–1.85), and public administration (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.1–1.55). Conclusions Our analysis suggest that obesity is strongly correlated with temporary employment. Maybe the way out this pathway to obesity in the future might be working better, choosing organizational flexibility rather than fixed term. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2016;29(6):903–914

ObjectivesContrary to popular opinion on the preventive properties of vitamin D, results of previous studies have been inconclusive. The aim of this research was to evaluate the associations between the intake of vitamin D and metabolic abnormalities in a representative sample of Polish adults.Material and MethodsWithin the framework of the Multi-Center National Population Health Examination Survey (referred to as WOBASZ), a random sample of 2381 adult residents of Poland (53.8% of whom were women) was examined. All the study subjects were extensively reviewed, including 24-h dietary recall. The intake of vitamin D was assessed on the basis of dietary and supplements reviews. Metabolic abnormalities were evaluated using measurements of waist circumference (WC), blood pressure (BP), serum triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting glycemia. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation.ResultsOf all the study participants, about 4.4 % of women and 2.6% of men declared a regular supplementation of vitamin D. Among women, a significant inverse correlation between vitamin D supplementation and the mean systolic BP was found (p < 0.01). A more substantial relationship was noted after dividing the study subjects according to their body mass. Among obese men, there was a significant inverse relationship between vitamin D intake and the mean systolic BP (p < 0.01) and diastolic BP (p < 0.05), as well as a positive correlation with HDL-C (p < 0.05). Among obese women, a negative correlation was found between vitamin D supplementation and the mean systolic BP (p < 0.01) and diastolic BP (p < 0.05), and a positive correlation with TG (p < 0.05). Among non-obese male subjects, a negative correlation between vitamin D intake and WC was observed.ConclusionsThe obtained findings suggest that the correlation between vitamin D intake and metabolic abnormalities may depend on the obesity status. A higher vitamin D intake may reduce BP and increase HDL-C in obese subjects. The positive relationship between vitamin D intake and TG concentration in women needs further investigation.

Objectives: The aim of this article is to assess the health behaviors of Polish Army soldiers participating in the National Health Programme 2016–2020 in relation to types of armed forces, BMI and selected demographic factors. Material and Methods: Anthropometric and questionnaire data were obtained in a group of 1229 soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces (PAF) from military units from all over Poland. Health behaviors patterns were assessed using the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI), developed by Juczyński. Results: The HBI of PAF soldiers was 79.9±12.68, indicating an average score. Statistically significant differences were found in the HBI values and in the individual categories of health behaviors according to the type of armed forces. The highest scores in each category of health behaviors were obtained by the Air Force (AF) soldiers. The lowest HBI score was obtained by the Land Forces and Territorial Defence Forces soldiers. Soldiers with higher education obtained significantly higher scores in such health categories as proper eating habits, preventive behaviors and health practices, compared to respondents with secondary education. Soldiers residing in cities had statistically significantly higher health behaviors intensities in all categories, compared to village residents. A significantly higher score in all health categories was noted in soldiers with normal body weight compared to those with diagnosed obesity. There was no significant relationship between the age of the respondents and health behaviors. Conclusions: The study found that factors such as type of armed forces, BMI, place of residence and education level were significant for the adoption of health behaviors by PAF. The level of health practices was significantly higher among AF soldiers compared to other types of armed forces. It seems necessary to further disseminate education on pro-health behaviors, especially among soldiers with obesity through participation in organized training and psychodietetic consultations as part of the National Health Programme.

Opis:
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) lead to substantial mortality and morbidity worldwide. The most common NCDs are cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. With the rapid increase in NCD-related deaths in Asia Pacific countries, NCDs are now the major cause of deaths and disease burden in the region. NCDs hamper achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). People in the low socio-economic group are most affected by NCDs as they have poor access to policies, legislations, regulations and healthcare services meant to combat NCDs. This results in loss of productivity by a decreasing labor force with implications at the macroeconomic level. The 3 major NCDs in the Asia Pacific region are CVDs, cancer and diabetes due to the increasing loss of disability adjusted life years (DALYs). The 4 major behavioral risk factors for NCDs are: tobacco use, alcohol consumption, inadequate physical activity and unhealthy diet. The underlying risk factors are urbanization, globalization, sedentary lifestyle, obesity and hypertension. Strategies to combat NCDs in the Asia Pacific region are as follows: population-based dietary salt reduction, health education, psychological interventions, i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational-interviewing, taxation and bans on tobacco-related advertisements, implementing smoke-free zones and surveillance by the World Health Organization. Control measures must focus on prevention and strengthening inter-sectorial collaboration.

Wstęp Celem pracy była ocena częstości występowania nadwagi i otyłości oraz poziomu aktywności fizycznej podchorążych Wyższej Szkoły Oficerskiej Sił Powietrznych w Dęblinie (WSOSP). Materiał i metody Badania przeprowadzono w grupie 100 mężczyzn I, II, IV i V roku Wydziału Lotnictwa WSOSP. Oceny częstości występowania nadwagi i otyłości dokonano na podstawie wskaźnika masy ciała (body mass index – BMI) i procentowej zawartości tkanki tłuszczowej. Do pomiaru poziomu aktywności fizycznej użyto akcelerometru AiperMotion 500TM. Oznaczono średnie dzienne zużycie energii, średnią odległość pokonywaną w ciągu dnia i tygodnia oraz współczynnik poziomu aktywności fizycznej PAL (physical activity level). Wyniki Na podstawie BMI prawidłową masę ciała stwierdzono u 71,3% badanych, nadwagę – u 25,3%, natomiast otyłość – u 3,4%. Ocena stanu odżywienia wykazała istotne różnice między studentami I i II roku a studentami IV i V roku. Wśród studentów I i II roku prawidłowe wartości BMI miało 88% osób, a wśród studentów IV i V roku – jedynie 48,6% (p < 0,05). Zawartość tkanki tłuszczowej była w normie u 80% studentów I i II roku oraz u 62,2% studentów IV i V roku. Otyłość oceniana na podstawie procentowej zawartości tkanki tłuszczowej występowała jedynie u starszych roczników (16,2%). Z kolei częstość występowania nadwagi była aż 10-krotnie wyższa u podchorążych IV i V roku (21,6%) w porównaniu ze studentami wcześniejszych lat (2%). Średnie odległości pokonywane zarówno w ciągu doby, jak i całego tygodnia były istotnie wyższe u podchorążych I i II roku niż u studentów IV i V roku. Wnioski Niezbędne jest wdrożenie działań profilaktycznych w zakresie żywienia i zwiększania aktywności fizycznej, które zapobiegną rozwojowi nadmiernej masy ciała w okresie studiów wśród podchorążych WSOSP w Dęblinie.

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate overweight, obesity and the level of physical activity in the study group of 100 cadets of the Air Force Military Academy in Dęblin (WSOSP). Material and Methods Evaluation of overweight and obesity was based on body mass index (BMI) and body fat content. An accelerometer AiperMotion 500TM was used to measure the level of physical activity. There were marked such parameters as the average daily energy consumption, the average distance covered during the day and the whole week and the indicator of physical activity level (PAL). Results Based on BMI indicators, 71.3% of the cadets had normal body weight, 25.3% were overweight and 3.4% were obese. Assessment of nutritional status showed significant differences between the 1st and 2nd vs. the 4th and 5th years of study. Normal BMI values showed 88% of the 1st and 2nd year students, while of the 4th and 5th years – only 48.6% (p < 0.05). Based on the body fat content, obesity was found only in a group of older students (16.2%) and overweight was 10 times higher in the 4th and 5th years (21.6%) in comparison to younger students (2%). The average distance covered during the day or during the whole week was significantly higher in the 1st and 2nd year students. Conclusions It is necessary to implement appropriate measures in the field of nutrition and physical activity to prevent the development of excessive body weight during studies among the military cadets of the Air Force Military Academy in Dęblin.

Opis:
Wstęp Niealkoholowa stłuszczeniowa choroba wątroby (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – NAFLD) to obecnie najczęstsze schorzenie wątroby dotyczące ok. 25% populacji światowej. Za przyczyny jej rozwoju uznaje się nieprawidłową dietę, niską aktywność fizyczną, nadwagę i otyłość, starszy wiek, cukrzycę oraz zaburzenia lipidowe. Choroba jest uznawana przez część badaczy za wątrobową manifestację zespołu metabolicznego. Zaobserwowano, że u pacjentów z NAFLD zwiększone jest ryzyko zdarzeń sercowo-naczyniowych oraz liczba zgonów z powodu zawału mięśnia sercowego w porównaniu z populacją ogólną. Materiał i metody Przeprowadzono retrospektywną analizę danych 237 pacjentów z rozpoznanym stłuszczeniem wątroby leczonych w Klinice Geriatrii Uniwersyteckiego Szpitala Klinicznego we Wrocławiu w latach 2019–2022 pod kątem współistnienia nadwagi, otyłości i chorób współistniejących. Przeanalizowano wyniki badań laboratoryjnych oraz stopień przerostu mięśnia lewej komory serca. Do oceny przerostu mięśnia użyto ocenianych w echokardiografii parametrów: grubość przegrody międzykomorowej w rozkurczu (interventricular septal thickness in diastole – IVSd), grubość późnorozkurczowa tylnej ściany lewej komory (left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole – LVPWd) i IVSd + LVPWd/2. Wyniki Przeanalizowano dane 237 pacjentów: 79 mężczyzn (wiek: 77,2±7,1 roku) i 158 kobiet (wiek: 78,4±7,7 roku). Wartości wskaźnika masy ciała (body mass index – BMI) dla mężczyzn i kobiet wynosiły, odpowiednio, 30,5±5,0 kg/m² oraz 31,9±5,6 kg/m². Wykazano istnienie dodatniej korelacji między wielkością BMI a stopniem przerostu mięśnia lewej komory dla parametrów IVSd (ρ = 0,36, p < 0,001), LVPWd (ρ = 0,36, p < 0,001) i IVSd + LVPWd/2 (ρ = 0,38, p < 0,001). Wnioski W badaniu wykazano dodatnią korelację o umiarkowanej sile między wielkością BMI a stopniem przerostu mięśnia lewej komory u chorych z rozpoznanym stłuszczeniem wątroby. Wyniki te wskazują na konieczność aktywnego poszukiwania czynników ryzyka chorób sercowo-naczyniowych, w tym oceny parametrów echokardiograficznych u pacjentów z NAFLD.
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common liver disorder affecting about 25% of the global population. The causes of its development include poor diet, low physical activity, overweight, obesity, older age, diabetes, and lipid disorders. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is identified by some researchers as a hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. It has been observed that patients with NAFLD have an increased risk of cardiovascular events, as well as a higher number of deaths from myocardial infarction compared to the general population. Material and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 237 patients diagnosed with hepatic steatosis, treated in the Department of Geriatrics at the University Clinical Hospital in Wrocław from 2019 to 2022, focusing on coexisting overweight, obesity, and concomitant diseases. Laboratory results and the degree of left ventricular muscle hypertrophy were analyzed. Parameters assessed by echocardiography, including interventricular septal thickness in diastole (IVSd), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole (LVPWd), and IVSd + LVPWd/2, were used to evaluate left ventricular hypertrophy. Results Data from 237 patients were analyzed: 79 men (age: 77.2±7.1 years) and 158 women (age: 78.4±7.7 years). Body mass index (BMI) values for men and women were 30.5±5.0 kg/m² and 31.9±5.6 kg/m², respectively. There was a positive correlation between BMI and the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy for the parameters IVSd (ρ = 0.36, p < 0.001), LVPWd (ρ = 0.36, p < 0.001), and IVSd + LVPWd/2 (ρ = 0.38, p < 0.001). Conclusions The study demonstrated a moderate positive correlation between BMI and the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients diagnosed with hepatic steatosis. These findings indicate the necessity of actively searching for cardiovascular risk factors, including the evaluation of echocardiographic parameters in patients with NAFLD.

Opis:
Chrom jest metalem przejściowym, który obecnie budzi największe kontrowersje. W najnowszych publikacjach już wyraźnie wskazuje się, że nie jest on niezbędnym mikroelementem, a jego działanie należy rozpatrywać raczej jako efekt farmakologiczny. Sprzeczne doniesienia naukowe, a jednocześnie ogromna liczba suplementów diety, odżywek sportowych i dietetycznych dostępnych na rynku skłoniły autorów do prześledzenia dostępnych informacji dotyczących zakresu możliwego zastosowania, skuteczności i bezpieczeństwa produktów zawierających sole lub chelaty chromu III. Wykonano przegląd baz elektronicznych z lat 1959–2016 oraz wyselekcjonowano prace opisujące biochemiczne, fizjologiczne i toksyczne właściwości soli i chelatów chromu III, a także zakres możliwego zastosowania w medycynie, dietetyce i sporcie. Poddano krytycznej analizie doniesienia na temat wpływu chromu na gospodarkę węglowodanowo-lipidową organizmu, skład ciała i beztłuszczową masę ciała oraz zdolność wysiłkową sportowców. Wskazano prace analizujące mechanizm działania chromu w zaburzeniach kognitywnych i afektywnych. Dużą uwagę autorzy poświęcili bezpieczeństwu stosowania suplementacji preparatami zawierającymi chrom. Wciąż pozostaje kilka niewyjaśnionych zagadnień – w zakresie toksykologii uwagę zwraca niedostateczna liczba doniesień na temat środowiskowego narażenia na chrom III w miejscu pracy, natomiast w zakresie badań biochemicznych wciąż istnieje potrzeba wyjaśnienia mechanizmu aktywności psychiatrycznej i endokrynologicznej zwłaszcza w powiązaniu z układem immunologicznym.

Currently, chromium is probably the most controversial transition metal. In recent publications it is clearly stated that it is not an essential micronutrient and should be considered to have a pharmacological effect. Conflicting scientific reports along with a huge amount of dietary supplements, as well as dietary and sports nutrients available on the market have prompted the authors to investigate the available information on the range of possible application, efficacy and safety of products containing salts or chelates of chromium III. The authors reviewed articles in electronic databases for the years 1959–2016, and selected works describing the biochemical, physiological and toxic properties of chromium salts and chelates and the range of possible applications in medicine, dietetics and sport. A critical analysis of reports dealing with the effect of chromium on the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, body composition, lean body mass and sports performance was carried out. The authors indicated papers analyzing the mechanism of action of chromium in the cognitive and affective disorders. Much attention has been paid to the safety use of chromium III supplements. There are still some unsolved issues. In the field of toxicology, a limited number of reports about environmental exposure to trivalent chromium in the workplace draws our attention. In the field of biochemical research, there is still a need to clarify the mechanism of psychiatric and endocrinological activity, especially in conjunction with the immune system.
