Experiential or behavioral processes: Which one is prominent in physical activity? Examining the processes of change one year after an intervention of therapeutic education among adults with obesity
Obesity is recognized as a growing epidemic with the worldwide Body Mass Index (BMI) increasing by 0.5kg/m2 per decade since 1980 [1]. It is associated with increased total mortality and increased risks of disease or death from diabetes, ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke, cancers, chronic kidney disease, and osteoarthritis [2]. Beneficial effects of physical activity (PA) on body weight and global health have now been clearly proven and besides diet and behavior therapy, PA is considered as a cornerstone of weight management for overweight/obese adults [3–5].

Cause-specific mortality by education in Canada: a 16-year follow-up study.
This study examines cause-specific mortality rates by education in a broadly representative sample of Canadians aged 25 or older. The data are from the 1991 to 2006 Canadian census mortality follow-up study, which included about 2.7 million people and 426,979 deaths. Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) were calculated by education for different causes of death. Rate ratios, rate differences and excess mortality were also calculated. RESULTS: All-cause ASMRs were highest among people with less than secondary graduation and lowest for university degree-holders. If all cohort members had the mortality rates of those ...

The Double Burden of Malnutrition

Effectiveness of family involvement in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients: a follow-up study
In recent years, the global prevalence of diabetes has increased significantly. The number of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) ranks first in the world. Diabetes ranks in the third place among chronic non-communicable diseases according to the morbidity, disability and mortality as well as the degree of harm to human health, and it has brought a heavy burden on healthcare [1–3].

Needs of Internally Displaced Women and Children in Baghdad, Karbala, and Kirkuk, Iraq
Conclusions The vulnerability of this population is great, and the emotional trauma of multiple displacements, kidnapping and deaths from intentional violence is great. While some aid is reaching families, much more is needed. Though Iraq is a middle income country, reaching the IDPs in central Iraq will take much more in international assistance than is currently being received. Unfortunately, at this time of great need, assistance is being cut back throughout the region because of lack of funding.10 The local civil society organizations which have sprung up in many locations to assist IDPs, offer an avenue for targeting ...
