Age, Body Mass and Physical Activity Determinants of Facial Acne Severity among Southern Nigerian Adolescents and Young Adults

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2017.162

Synopsis:

The study explored the relationship between facial acne severity, age of patients, body mass and physical activity indexes. Acne severity has a significant relationship with age of patients but not body mass or physical activity indexes.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the relationship between severity of acne with Age, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Physical Activity Index (PAI) of the patients.

Body Mass Index and Smoking Status as Predictors of Progression to Surgery and Complications and Postoperative Pain in Non-traumatic Back Pain Patients

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 3: 2017- Less Exposure Surgery (LES) Focus

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2017.028

Pages:

409–15

Synopsis:

Positive smoking history leads to an increased risk of patients with non-traumatic back pain progressing to surgery. Surgical patients also have a higher postoperative complication rate. Higher body mass index leads to an increased risk of complication and postoperative pain.

Evaluation of Nutritional Biochemical Parameters in Haemodialysis Patients Over a Ten-year Period

Issue:

Vol 64, Issue 3: June (2015)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.117

Pages:

213–7

Synopsis:

This study evaluated the nutritional status of haemodialysis patients by assessing biochemical and anthropometric parameters. The prevalence of malnutrition in haemodialysis patients was evident; however, the results showed that the nutritional deterioration of these patients was mainly reflected in their biochemical parameters rather than in their anthropometric measurements.

Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve Analysis in Detecting Excess Adiposity in 9–13-year Old South African Children

Issue:

Vol 61, Issue 7 (2012)

DOI:

Doi:10.7727/wimj.2012.108

Pages:

670–3

Synopsis:

This study confirmed that log10 SF4:BMI (subcutaneous to overall fat) at conventional cut-off points had a relatively high sensitivity and specificity in detecting excess adiposity, and therefore could be used to identify excess adiposity in South African children.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Little is known concerning the applicability of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis in detecting excess adiposity in preadolescent South African children. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of body mass index (BMI) and skinfold thickness:BMI (subcutaneous to overall fat) in detecting excess adiposity in preadolescent urban South African school children.
