Body Mass Index (BMI) is a good indicator of nutritional status in a population. It can be considered as an indicator of overall health condition. Beside Genetic aspects the BMI level is affected by different factors, such as socio economic, environmental and physical activity level. This study investigated about the effects of different physical and environmental factors on the BMI level of a sample of 75 adults and fit a suitable ANN based model. The mean BMI was 23.8671±2.89217 kg/m2. The Pearson correlation, independent sample T-test, one-way ANOVA, ANN, regression analysis was used to extract the variables which significantly influenced the BMI. The statistical analysis showed that, despite the apparent association of BMI with physical activity level, it is influenced by several factors such as age, distance to bus stop, dieting, daily exercise, marital status, educational level and recreational facilities. It shows that daily exercise, recreational facility, education level has significant impact in estimation of Body Mass Index (BMI).

Abstract

This study sought to assess the attitudes of Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) towards tackling illicit drug use and drug-related disorders in Nigeria and to explore regional variations in attitude. Based on the validated Substance Abuse Attitude Survey (SAAS), a quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted in a randomized sample of 292 MHPs practicing in neuropsychiatric hospitals and mental health departments of teaching hospitals from four geopolitical zones of Nigeria. A response rate of 81.1% was achieved. MHPs tended towards non-permissive, moralistic and stereotypic spectrum and exhibited distinctly defined attitude towards their professional role. The Kruskal-Wallis analysis established significant regional variation in the attitude of multidisciplinary MHPs, H (3)=18.727, p< .0001 reflecting a stochastic domination across the region; therefore a step-down follow-up analysis was conducted. This analysis revealed that the distribution of attitude total-score varies significantly between the South-south and the Southwestern region (p< .0001), the northeastern and southwestern region of the country (p< .028).  A holistic approach towards standardization of drug treatment and care that takes into consideration possible regional variation in attitudes of MHPs should be implemented to foster the reintegration and rehabilitation of drug-using populations into the mainstream society.
