Better Together? The Effects Of Shared Medical Appointments On Bmi In Obese Adults, Amanda Larson May 2021

Better Together? The Effects Of Shared Medical Appointments On Bmi In Obese Adults, Amanda Larson

Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports

The United States (U.S.) is amidst an obesity epidemic, with Indiana ranking as the 15th worst state (Institute of Medicine, 2012; United Health Foundations, 2020). Despite current management strategies, the obesity rate in both the U.S. and Indiana continues to rise (WHO, 2020). Therefore, obesity management must change.

Does Better A1c Control Worsen Osteoarthritis? An Electronic Health Record Cross-Sectional Study, Sarah C. Cattaneo

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Obesity is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). There is evidence that diabetes also increases risk. Our hypothesis is that A1C is a predictor of OA severity. The aim is to investigate the association between A1C, BMI, and knee and hip OA severity. This is a cross-sectional study within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) database containing 818 patients with diagnosed diabetes. Patients at one VHA facility with recorded diabetes in fiscal year 2020 were identified. A1C and BMI data was obtained from the electronic health record. Chart reviews were performed to collect data on imaging reports of weight-bearing joints …


Relationship Between Social Media Screen Time, Sedentariness, And Bmi Among Young Adults, Helen Golod Jan 2021

To address this research …
