The Impact of Body Mass Index and Western Advertising and Media on Eating Style, Body Image and Nutrition Transition among Jordanian Women. Madanat HN, Brown RB, Hawks SR. Department of Community Health, School of Science and Health, Utah Valley State College, Orem 84058, USA. madanaha@uvsc.edu Abstract OBJECTIVES: To identify the impact of body mass index (BMI) and Western advertising and media on the stage of the nutrition transition among Jordanian women, and to evaluate their impact on eating styles and body image.
DESIGN: A randomised cross-sectional survey that included a variety of culturally measured Likert-type scales and body size images. In addition, BMI was calculated based on measured height and weight.
female interviewers who worked for the Jordan Department of Statistics. SUBJECTS: The sample was based on a random and representative selection of 800 mostly urban Jordanian women. A pre-test sample of 100 women was also used to validate the instruments.
They had high levels of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors and 42.1% were considered restrained eaters. However, these women also had higher than expected body esteem levels and desired a healthy body size. As expected, being obese was associated with a desire to lose weight, being a restrained and emotional eater, and having more disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. Similarly, Western advertising and media were associated with restrained and emotional eating, desired weight loss, and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors.

Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan. Abstract BACKGROUND: The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is rapidly increasing with a considerable ethnic variation within and across populations. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and its individual components using Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria among Northern Jordanians.
random sample of 1121 northern Jordanians aged 25 years and above. The metabolic syndrome was defined by ATP III criteria.
36.3% (95% CI 33.6-39.0%) (28.7% among men and 40.9% among women). The prevalence increased significantly with age in men and women. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was significantly higher in women than in men in age groups of 40-49 and 60 years and above. Low HDL cholesterol was the most common abnormality in men (62.7%), and abdominal obesity was the most common abnormality in women (69.1%).
considerably higher than in developed countries and other Arab populations. An integrated approach is needed for the prevention and treatment of the metabolic syndrome. 298

Abstract In 2003, chronic diseases were the leading cause of mortality in Jordan; 38.2% of deaths were a ributed to cardiovascular disease and 14.3% to cancer (Jordan Ministry of Health [MOH], unpublished data, 2004). In 2002, MOH, with assistance from CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO), established a behavioral risk factor surveillance program to monitor risk factors associated with chronic diseases. This report summarizes the findings of the second Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, which was conducted in Jordan in 2004. The findings indicated that the prevalence of obesity had increased by 52.3% in Jordan since 2002. In addi on, cancer screening rates among women and seatbelt use rates overall were low compared with U.S. rates. Development and implementation of a national plan to prevent and control chronic diseases is needed.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between obesity, lipid profile and blood pressure, and to quantify the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) for the next 10 years, using the Framingham risk scoring scheme among Jordanian adult males. METHODS: We conducted this study in Al-Sarieh, Jordan during the period March to May 2001. A total of 306 apparently healthy adult males, aged 30- 50 years completed all the study procedures. We selected the par cipants using a multi-stage cluster sampling design. Dietary history and smoking habits were obtained using a pre-tested questionnaire and interview. Blood samples were obtained and examined for lipid profiles. We measured the blood pressures, as well as the weight and height to calculate the body

hqublan@yahoo.com Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and reproductive outcome in clomiphene-citrate (CC)-resistant women with high body mass index (BMI) and primary infertility. This was a case series based at the King Hussein Medical center, Amman, Jordan. Nineteen CC-resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who had high BMI and primary infertility were studied. All women received me ormin monotherapy; 850 mg twice daily for a period of 6 months. If pregnancy occurred, me ormin was con nued for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The main outcome measures were a reduction in the BMI, resumption of regular menses, ovulation and pregnancy rates. Resumption of regular cycles was observed in 13 of 19 (68.4%) women. Ovula on and pregnancy were achieved in 9 (47.4%) and 6 (31.6%) of the 19 women, respec vely. A significant

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Hashemite University, Zarqa, Jordan. manar@hu.edu.jo Abstract OBJECTIVE: To compare the lifestyle related risk factors for breast cancer such as physical activity, cigarette smoking, the use of contraceptive pills and increased body weight between non-familial and familial breast cancer females in Jordan. METHODS: This study was carried out in the Kingdom of Jordan during the period 2000 through to 2002. A ques onnaire was used to collect informa on from 99 females who were histologically and pathologically diagnosed for breast cancer. Data of the questionnaire was entered and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences.
non-familial breast cancer females and controls in the following risk factors: physical activity, contraceptive methods, and smoking. On the other hand, a statistically significant difference in weight was found between the familial breast cancer females, the total breast cancer females and the controls. In addition, the highest percentage of overweight and obese was found among postmenopausal breast cancer females.

MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2003 Oct 31;52(43):1042-4. Prevalence of Selected Risk Factors for Chronic Disease-- Jordan, 2002. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Abstract In Jordan, the average life expectancy in 2002 was 72 years, and chronic diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent. Because personal behavior can influence the occurrence and progression of many chronic diseases, the Jordan Ministry of Health (JMoH) established surveillance for behavioral risk factors, particularly those related to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. This report summarizes the key findings of the 2002 Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, the first reporting segment in Jordan's surveillance program for chronic diseases. The findings indicate that smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity contribute substantially to the burden of chronic disease in Jordan and underscores the need for effective public health interventions.

Oakland University School of Nursing, 450 O'Dowd Hall, Rochester, MI 48301, USA. kulwicki@oakland.edu Abstract Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiovascular risk factors in a stratified randomly selected sample of a city near Amman, Jordan. A stratified sample of two hundred and nine randomly selected households were selected for this study. Adults from each of the households who agreed to participate in this study were asked about their cardiovascular risk factors including cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. The sample consisted of 84 males and 125 females ranging in age from 17 to 93 years with a mean age of 37 years. Findings iden fied significant cardiovascular risk factors included cigarette smoking, obesity, hypertension, stress, and 302
diabetes. Cigarette smoking was much more common in men than women. Implications for nurses are discussed with suggestions for future research.

KUWAIT Obes Surg. 2011 Aug;21(8):1157-60. Revision of Failed Bariatric Procedures to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). Khoursheed MA, Al-Bader IA, Al-Asfar FS, Mohammad AI, Shukkur M, Dashti HM. Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Kuwait University, Safat, P.O. Box 24923, 13110, Kuwait, khoursheed@hsc.edu.kw. Abstract Bariatric surgery for morbid obesity has been established as an effective treatment method and has been shown to be associated with resolution of co-morbidities. Despite its success, some patients may require revision because of weight regain or mechanical complications. From September 2005 to December 2009, 42 pa ents underwent revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). All procedures were performed by one surgeon. Demographics, indications for revision, complications, and weight loss were reviewed. Thirty-seven patients were treated with laparoscopic (n = 36) or open (n = 1) RYGB a er failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Four patient were treated with laparoscopic (n = 3) or open (n-1) RYGB after failed vertical banded gastroplasty, and one patient underwent open redo RYGB due to large gastric pouch. Conversion rate from laparoscopy to open surgery was 2.5% (one pa ent). Mean opera ve me was 145.83 ± 35.19 min, and hospital stay was 3.36 ± 1.20 days. There was no mortality. Early and late complica ons occurred in six pa ents (14.2%). The mean follow-up was 15.83 ± 13.43 months. Mean preoperative body mass index was 45.15 ± 7.95 that decreased to 35.23 ± 6.7, and mean percentage excess weight loss was 41.19 ± 20.22 a er RYGB within our follow-up period. RYGB as a revisional bariatric procedure is effective to treat complications of restrictive procedures and to further reduce weight in morbidly obese patients.

El-Ghaziri M, Boodai S, Young D, Reilly JJ. 1Life Course Nutri on and Health, Yorkhill Hospitals, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To compare the classification of overweight, obesity and underweight using international v. national approaches in Kuwaiti adolescents.
national approach (based on Kuwaiti reference data for BMI-for-age) was compared with assessments obtained using three international approaches: the Cole et al. and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) definitions of thinness and of overweight and obesity (Cole-IOTF); WHO 2007; and US Centers for Disease Control and Preven on (CDC) 2000 reference data and definitions. The degree of agreement between the different methods was assessed using the weighted κ statistic (κw). SETTING: Two randomly selected public intermediate schools in Kuwait City.
SUBJECTS: A total of 499 10-14-year-old Kuwaiti adolescents. RESULTS: Prevalence of overweight and obesity using Kuwaiti reference data (36·7 %; 95 % CI 32·4, 41·1) was significantly lower than that obtained using international approaches - Cole-IOTF (44·7 %; 95 % CI 40·3, 49·2), CDC 2000 (44·9 %; 95 % CI 40·5, 49·4) and WHO 2007 (50·5 %; 95 % CI 46·0, 55·0) (P < 0·01). All three interna onal approaches showed almost perfect agreement: IOTF v. WHO (κw = 0·82; 95 % CI 0·79, 0·85) and IOTF v. CDC (κw = 0·90; 95 % CI 0·87, 0·92). However, Kuwai reference data showed the lowest agreement with the three international approaches, the poorest being with WHO 2007 (κw = 0·54; 95 % CI 0·49, 0·59).

children's weight status, factors associated with their perceptions, and their plans for controlling their children's weights.
and their mothers were selected from a sample of 2329 from the Kuwait Nutri on Surveillance System from September 2003 to June 2004. Heights and weights were measured for the children and their mothers to identify their weight status. Mothers were interviewed using a questionnaire to assess their perceptions and plans for their children's weights. RESULTS: Mothers of overweight children (97%), male children (88.4%), and children without a family history of obesity (89%) showed significantly incorrect perception of their children's weight. Interestingly, the age of the child, the mother's education level, the mother's working status, and the mother's body mass index did not significantly contribute to correct perception of weight status. However, two-thirds of mothers had a plan to control their children's weight. The child's age, the body mass index of mother and child, the family history of obesity, and a correct perception of a child's weight by the mother were significantly associated with a plan for weight control.
