Association Among BMI, Self-Esteem, and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Young Adults to Understand the Influence of Socioenvironmental Factors: Longitudinal Study

Association Among BMI, Self-Esteem, and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Young Adults to Understand the Influence of Socioenvironmental Factors: Longitudinal Study

A previous study demonstrated that while posttraumatic stress disorder leads to suicidal ideation, BMI plays a significant moderating role, indicating that the association between posttraumatic stress disorder and suicidal ideation is the strongest in individuals with high BMI values [11]. Another study has reported a correlation between obesity and NSSI and verified the correlation between BMI and major depressive disorder [12], but no precise research has explored the correlation between BMI and NSSI.

Testing a Web-Based Interactive Comic Tool to Decrease Obesity Risk Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Preadolescents: Randomized Controlled Trial

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention BMI percentile calculator was used to determine BMI-for-age percentile [37]. Use of the web-based tool for each group was assessed by first aggregating the “click-tracking” data by participant, URL, study week, and across the intervention period. Descriptive analyses, including means, SD, and ranges (minimum-maximum) were performed.

Effect of a Web-Based Nutritional and Physical Activity Intervention With Email Support (the EDDY Program) on Primary School Children’s BMI Z-Score During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Intervention Study

Effect of a Web-Based Nutritional and Physical Activity Intervention With Email Support (the EDDY Program) on Primary School Children’s BMI Z-Score During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Intervention Study

BMI was calculated as weight (kg) divided by square of height (m2) and classified according to age and sex. BMI z-scores were used for further analysis [34]. SDs for the BMI z-scores were calculated and BMI categories were classified in reference to Kromeyer-Hauschild et al [35]. The obesity category was considered as the sum of obesity and extreme obesity. Measurements were performed at 2 time points for both groups at the primary school.

Association of Cellulitis With Obesity: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

One is that adipose tissue exerts immunosuppressive effects on the body through key adipokines, and another is that impeded lymphatic flow causes increased bacterial growth, decreased tissue oxygenation, and lymphedema commonly seen in individuals with high BMI [20-22]. There remains some controversy regarding whether systemic factors, such as obesity, play a significant role in the development of cellulitis.
