Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the association between Physical Activity Level (PAL) and body weight status, body composition (body fat percentage, muscle mass, total body water, visceral fat and bone mass) among adults in Terengganu. This study involved 150 participants age ranged from 19–60 years old (72 males and 78 females). PAL was determined using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while height, weight and body composition were measured using standard measurement tools. Cardiovascular health and fitness were assessed using blood pressure, heart rate and beep test. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed for data analysis. From the analysis, there was a positive association between PAL and body fat percentage independent of other factors (p=0.003), however, there was no other association with other factors. These findings contribute to our understanding of the influence between body weight, body composition, cardiovascular health and PAL in adults. Although the future study may require a bigger sample size, the finding of this study highlights the importance of physical activity to improve overall health.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in improving dietary intake and weight status of young adults with high Body Mass Index (BMI) in a public university in Terengganu, Malaysia. This pre-and post-intervention randomly assigned 107 participants with BMI≥25 kg/m2 to either the Intervention Group (IG=53) or the Control Group (CG=54), for 12 weeks. All participants received health education (diet + exercise + behavioral recommendations) and completed food records, while those in IG had additional three hypnotherapy sessions once a month. Descriptive statistics and repeated measure Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were utilized (SPSS 23.0). A total of 104 participants completed the trial (female=82.2%; student=71.0%; BMI=31.3±5.0 kg/m2). Results demonstrated significant decrements in weight (Mean Difference (MD)=-1.4 kg; p=0.021), total energy (MD=-269 kcal; p=0.033), carbohydrate (MD=-1.0% EI; p=0.019) and total fats (MD=-1.8% EI; p=0.002) intakes in IG after controlling for age, gender and baseline variables on repeated measurements. Hypnotherapy had a positive impact on energy intake, indicating its effectiveness in tackling eating habits. These findings are promising and could serve as a basis for future studies in hypnotherapy for weight loss.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the association between sociodemographic and health behaviours with body weight status among adults with healthy weight and overweight/obese in Terengganu. This cross-sectional study involved the measurement of body weight and height, followed by the categorization of BMI. Sociodemographic and health behaviour information was obtained through questionnaires, covering variables such as education level, monthly income, locality, gender, age, race, sleep quality, eating behaviours, and physical activity. A total of 326 adults with healthy weight (44.2%) and overweight/obesity (55.8%) in Terengganu aged 19‒60 years old were recruited. There were significant associations between age (p<0.001), gender (p<0.001), race (p=0.008), education level (p<0.001) and eating behaviour (p=0.012) with body weight status. These findings emphasize the impacts of sociodemographic factors and health behaviours in understanding and addressing the issue of overweight and obesity and will be used as a basis for developing effective and targeted intervention programs.
