Background: Obesity is a complex disease characterized by excess stored body fat compared with height, with adipose tissue dysfunction contributing to many of the metabolic consequences. The aim of this work was to study behaviors of pre-school children that affect weight gain and to study determinants of children’s behaviors as regard encouraging or inhibiting healthy behaviors among pre-school Children. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive comparative study was carried out on 8 schools chosen by using “Simple Random Sampling”: (Toosing method): four were located in urban areas and the other four were located in rural areas target population were children under 6 years old at the time of beginning the study registered in the selected 8 school nurseries. Results: Children were divided into four groups: 112 were underweight, 411 were normal, 449 were overweight, and 198 were obese. (25.8%) of children delivered by Cesarean section, (35.4%) of children weaned at 1 year old, (10%) of children eating at the fixed time were obese, (52.8%) of children eating while watching TV, (92.6%) of children eating fast foods, (55.9%) of children sleeping less than 6 hours at night were overweight. There was a highly significant difference regarding playing exercise. Conclusions: Behaviors that lead to increased risk of overweight and obesity in preschool children include preferring caesarean section, early weaning, escaping breakfast, eating while watching television, eating fast foods, sleep restriction or sleeping less than six hours at night, and presence of sleeping problems. Exercising has a great effect on controlling weight.

Background: Breast feeding provide protection against gastro-enteritis and respiratory infection in the first year of breast-feeding results in less respiratory infection and lower blood pressure at age 7-8 years. The appropriate age for starting complementary feeding is determined by the nutritional adequacy of exclusive breast-feeding at different ages. The aim of this study is to improve health of infant by studying the effect of weaning age on nutritional status of infants in Tanta district-Gharbia governorate. Methods: This cohort study carried out on 200 infants and their mothers who attend the family health center for routine infant care visits. The mothers were subjected to a designed questionnaire including sociodemographic data as infant sex, age, education and occupation of the mother and the father, number of infants in the family, income and mode of delivery. The infants were subjected to a complete clinical examination for assessment of nutritional status through anthropometric measures and assessment of age of development of setting, standing, and walking during the period of study which was one year. Results: Mean value showed statistically significant difference between three groups regarding sitting age, crawling age, standing age, weight at 4 months of age weight at 6 months of age Regarding walking age Mean value showed statistically significant difference between the two groups, Infants who started weaning at age of 4-6 months show better growth and development and less occurrence of infectious diseases, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, rickets and allergic manifestation than those at age before 4 or after 6 months. Weaning according to recommended nutritional program had better weight, length, head circumference and better hemoglobin concentration. Conclusions: Starting weaning at 4-6 months of age looks better compared to earlier or delayed weaning. This could be attributed to: Higher rates of timely achievement of developmental milestones and better gaining of weight, length and head circumference. Less frequencies of infections and illnesses. Higher average of hemoglobin concentration

Introduction: Obesity is a public health concern on a global scale, obesity can lead to significant risk of developing various comorbidities. Lifestyle interventions along with surgical and medical approaches are the primary options for obesity treatment. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions for weight loss in adults with obesity. Methods: A systematic search review was carried out from January 2018 to December 2022. The search for relevant articles was conducted through PubMed and EBSCO databases. 2290 articles were retrieved and evaluated based on the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Among them, 362 articles were duplicates and subsequently removed. Further, 1893 articles failed to meet the inclusion criteria and were excluded from this review. Consequently, 35 articles were considered for the review.

Background: Many lifestyle variables have been shown to impact women's fertility throughout the last few decades. Objectives: To compare effect of lifestyle factors on infertile and fertile women and find out if there is any association between demographic variables and life style status of the studied sample. Methodology: A case-control study design was conduct were 400 women was involved. Two hundred infertile women were recruited as the study group, and another 200 fertile women were taken as the control group. Data were collected by a self-structured questionnaire that was established by researchers, based on data from relevant international studies. Results: Patients were more avoidance to drugs, smoking, and alcohol than control group (P value = 0.04). There was significant negative correlation between socio-demographic variables and physical activity and exercise in patients group (r=-0.199, p <0.05). The odds of physical health were significantly decreased in females with free business (OR =0.278, 95% CI 0.103–1.39), and females with primary education (OR =0.430, 95% CI 0.165–1.121). The odds of environmental pollutants/harmful substance factor avoidance were significantly increased in persons with Primary education (OR =2.1, 95% CI 0.491–3.401; 2.33, 95% CI 0.13–2.33). Conclusion: Lifestyle factors significantly affected female fertility, SES may play an important role in human fertility. The infertile women significantly had more avoidance of Drugs, smoking and alcohol than the fertile group.
背景:在过去的几十年里,许多生活方式的变量已经被证明会影响女性的生育能力。目的:比较生活方式因素对不孕和育龄妇女的影响,了解人口学变量与研究样本的生活方式状况之间是否存在关联。方法:采用病例对照研究设计,纳入400名妇女。研究人员招募了200名不孕妇女作为研究组,另外200名有生育能力的妇女作为对照组。数据是通过研究人员根据相关国际研究数据建立的自结构化问卷收集的。结果:患者对药物、吸烟、酒精的回避程度高于对照组(P值= 0.04)。社会人口学变量与患者组体力活动、锻炼呈显著负相关(r=-0.199, p <0.05)。自由经商的女性(OR =0.278, 95% CI 0.103-1.39)和初等教育的女性(OR =0.430, 95% CI 0.165-1.121)身体健康的几率显著降低。初等教育人群避免环境污染物/有害物质因素的几率显著增加(OR =2.1, 95% CI 0.491-3.401;2.33, 95% ci 0.13-2.33)。结论:生活方式因素显著影响女性生育能力,社会经济地位可能在人类生育中起重要作用。不孕妇女明显比生育妇女更避免吸毒、吸烟和酗酒。
