Association between body weight perception and actual body mass index among adult women in Erbil city, Iraq
CONCLUSION: Body weight perception was well associated with actual body weight status. Unmarried women are more likely to misperceive body weight, particularly overestimating it. Underestimation of body weight was relatively high and much higher than the overestimation, which might keep obese individuals from weight loss activities. Preventing obesity should include awareness about body weight misperceptions.PMID:38287412 | PMC:PMC10823618 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-024-00512-8 (Source: Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition)

Development of a diet quality score and adherence to the Swiss dietary recommendations for vegans
CONCLUSION: The newly developed DQS-V provides a single score for estimating diet quality among vegan adults. Further validation studies examining the DQS-V in relation to an independent dietary assessment method and to biomarkers of nutritional intake and status are still needed before the general application of the DQS-V.PMID:38291526 | PMC:PMC10829326 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-024-00498-3 (Source: Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition)

Hand grip strength as a proposed new vital sign of health: a narrative review of evidences
J Health Popul Nutr. 2024 Jan 9;43(1):7. doi: 10.1186/s41043-024-00500-y.ABSTRACTHand grip strength (HGS) serves as a fundamental metric in assessing muscle function and overall physical capability and is particularly relevant to the ageing population. HGS holds an important connection to the concept of sarcopenia, which encompasses the age-related decline in muscle mass, strength, and function. It has also been reported to indicate the health of an individual. We reviewed the interplay between HGS and various health parameters, including morbidity and mortality, by carrying out a literature search on PubMed, Scopus and Go...

Relationship between tobacco smoking and hematological indices among Sudanese smokers
CONCLUSION: Smoking affects hematological parameters; smokers had significantly higher RBCs count, Hb level, WBCs count, Neutrophils, MCH, MCHC, RDW and PDW compared to the non-smoker group. WP smoking caused higher levels of RBCs, Hb, neutrophils, MCH and MCHC. PDW was high in smokers' sub-groups compared to control group, while MPV was lower despite insignificant change In PLTs count.PMID:38178235 | PMC:PMC10765807 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-023-00493-0 (Source: Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition)
