Objectives: While physical activity is important for health, many women do not meet recommended levels, particularly mothers. The purpose of this study was to assess whether physical activity levels differ by number of children at home in women aged 25–44 in the general US population. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis used 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data for females aged 25–44 (N = 6266) from California, Colorado, New York, Texas, and Utah. Ordered logistic regression analysis assessed the relationship between physical activity levels and number of children at home while controlling for state and demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related factors. Results: About half of participants reported “inactive” or “insufficiently active” physical activity levels and about two-thirds reported having one or more children at home. The results of adjusted analysis indicated that physical activity level was significantly related to having one child (adjusted odds ratio = 0.75, 95% confidence interval = 0.63, 0.89), two children (adjusted odds ratio = 0.79; 95% confidence interval = 0.67, 0.93), and three or more children (adjusted odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval = 0.67, 0.94) at home. Conclusion: Overall, physical activity levels were significantly related to presence of children at home for women aged 25–44, but increasing number of children at home did not impact effect size. For women aged 25–44 in a primary care setting, a moderate prevalence of inactive or insufficiently active physical activity may be expected. Providers should address physical activity with all patients in this target population during well-visits, but particularly for women with children at home; educate patients about the health benefits of regular physical activity; and provide resources that will help them integrate physical activity into their daily lifestyles.

Within the context of longitudinal medical care for adults, health care providers have a unique opportunity to inquire and respond to the traumatic life experiences affecting the health of their patients, as well as a responsibility to minimize retraumatizing these patients during medical encounters. While there is literature on screening women for intimate partner violence, and there is emerging data on pediatric screening for adverse life experiences, there is sparse literature on inquiry of broader trauma histories in adult medical settings. This lack of research on trauma inquiry results in an absence of guidelines for best practices, in turn making it challenging for policy makers, health care providers, and researchers to mitigate the adverse health outcomes caused by traumatic experiences and to provide equitable care to populations that experience a disproportionate burden of trauma. This state of the science summarizes current inquiry practices for patients who have experienced trauma, violence, and abuse. It places trauma inquiry within an anchoring framework of trauma-informed care principles, and emphasizes a focus on resilience. It then proposes best practices for trauma inquiry, which include tiered screening starting with broad trauma inquiry, proceeding to risk and safety assessment as indicated, and ending with connection to interventions.

Objectives: Conflict and displacement are associated with poverty, disruption of services, loss of identity, reduced care for reproductive needs, and reduced provision of health care, among other things. This article uses the framework outlined by Obermeyer and Potter to test how refugee and native status influence utilization of reproductive health services and experience with domestic violence in a context of high refugee inhabitants and strong refugee-focused non-governmental organization presence. This article addresses the following: (1) coverage, source, and method of contraceptives; (2) variation in reproductive health experience by source of contraception; and finally, (3) factors determining variation in the utilization of reproductive health services and domestic violence experiences for individuals living in and out of refugee camps. Methods: The data is the 2012 Jordan Demographic and Health Survey, and the method utilized is logistic regression. Results: Findings suggest that refugee women serviced by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency have greater access to health-related resources (family planning and contraception), but they have weaker positions in the family as evidenced by domestic violence experiences. Conclusion: It is plausible that provisional resources are the easiest for an aid organization to provide, while the complications of identity loss and the loss of a sense of space pose a challenge for refugees and aid organizations.

Hormone therapy use has undergone dramatic changes over the past 20 years. Widespread use of hormone therapy in the 1980s and 1990s came to an abrupt halt in the early 2000s after initial findings of the Women’s Health Initiative trial were published and the study was terminated. Since then, much has been learned about the characteristics of women most likely to benefit from hormone therapy. There is general agreement that women younger than 60 years or who initiate hormone therapy within 10 years of menopause onset gain short-term benefit in terms of symptomatic relief and long-term benefit in terms of protection from chronic diseases that affect postmenopausal women. Despite accumulating evidence in support of hormone therapy for symptomatic menopausal women, the slow response by the medical community has led to a ‘large and unnecessary burden of suffering’ by women worldwide. Greater efforts are clearly needed to educate physicians and medical students about the pathophysiology of menopause and the role of hormone therapy in supporting women through the transition. This article provides a brief historical perspective of events that led to the backlash against hormone therapy, explores the current position of guideline groups, and provides practical recommendations to guide first-line management of symptomatic menopausal women.

Maternal mortality and morbidity are attributed to poor maternity quality of care.1 globally; more than half a million women die annually as a result of complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Despite the effort and substantial amount of resources spent to reduce maternal mortality; every day, approximately 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Ninety-nine percent of these deaths occur in most developing countries like Ethiopia.2 Rates of maternal mortality are 19 times higher in developing countries than in developed. In the African Region, however, the MMR is still running at 540 per 100, 000 live births, which, combined with the high levels of fertility, translates into a lifetime risk of dying from maternal causes of 1 in 37.3 The current global MMR of 216 per 100, 000. The world’s MMR fell by 44% between 1990 and 2015, missing the target of a 75% reduction and In 2015, the African Region accounts for 64% of maternal deaths.3

The heart is a pump that performs 72 beats per minute, equivalent to 1.2 Hertz, which each beat lasts around 0.830 ms (milliseconds) to boost the blood circulation that transports and distributes nutrients and oxygen, maintains the balance of fluids and body temperature as well as removes carbon dioxide and other metabolic byproducts from all cells of the body. Over a year, the heart beats around 38,843,300 times without taking into account the moments of stress and emotion in which the heart rate normally rises. Hence the importance of a system that works 24 hours a day, pumping about 200 million liters of blood (over a life of 70 years) to keep us alive.1 This work aims to synthesize the physiology of the cardiac cycle as well as to point out the main affections after a failure of this cycle.

The objective of the current study is built in body fat as a predictor of ideal weight to promote health and fitness body weight. To test this hypothesis, we founded on the relationship between fat mass index vs index body mass composition to improve aerobic capacity as control of body weight. For the proposition, 60 women sports under 22. We’re controlled by the cooper test as physiological parameter estimated VO2 max and the weight and height to estimate BMI and body fat as anthropometric measurements. Based on our database and analyses, we confirm the hypothesis, which argued that BMI alone should not be used to determine an “ideal” body weight. Since the level of VO2 max is the best predictor of aerobic capacity and adjusted fitness body weight based on the ratio of body fat among sportswomen. However, to develop an equation more studies are required to prove this hypothesis.

Currently, cancer is highly explored and seen as a major public health problem in the world. In Brazil, among different types of cancer that affect women, breast cancer and cervical cancer are the most frequent disturbances among gynecological cancers.1 Although there is a very high rate of cancer incidence. The cancer mortality reduction was being observed; especially in young women.2 Authors relate this fact with an increase in early neoplastic lesions detection as well as treatment efficiency. It became possible through breast cancer screening programs such as mammography which cause a breast cancer mortality reduction and an early lesion detection in subclinical forms, what happens primarily in European countries.3
