The first article is a cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between skipping
breakfast and obesity in the elderly. The study design does specify a study, which is the
relationship between skipping breakfast and obesity in the elderly. The methodology for
this study is a cross-sectional. This type of study tends to be observational that analyzes
data from a population. The participants for this study originally included 1052
community dwelling elderly with 75 of those participants excluded due to missing
information for the study. All participants were greater or equal to sixty years of age and
were voluntarily enrolled. The study measured breakfast status, subjective and objective
physical activity, self-reported diet quality and body mass index (BMI) (Otaki, 2017). The
article did not specify exactly how the participants were recruited. Selection bias was not
present by the information that was given of the study. The data was collected differently
m
for each measurable outcome. In order for the BMI to be obtained the participants were
er as
measured in a standing position and then the BMI was calculated. A self-questionnaire
co
was administered asking questions about the number of days a week the participants
eH w
skipped breakfast. The dietary assessment was assessed by administering a food
o.
frequency questionnaire that assessed the average intake of food each week.
rs e
Administering a questionnaire about the amount and extent of exercise the participants
ou urc
get each week assessed the subjective and objective physical activity. No variables are
identified and this could impact the interpretation of the study in sense that there is no
ability to control or even identify the significances of potentially valuable variables. The
o
data was analyzed by using a logistic regression analysis and an unpaired t test. A Chi
aC s
square test was used to compare proportion in categorical data (Otaki, 2017). The
vi y re
statistics provided are that obesity prevalence were significantly higher in breakfast
skippers than in breakfast eaters by 43%. The only potential errors that could have
happened were how the measured outcomes were collected. Some of the data was
ed d
collected based off of self-reporting and in the elderly; this may not always be accurate.
ar stu
This would also we considered a weakness for this study. Another weakness would be
that there are no identifiable variables to use in the study. The overall outcome was that
breakfast skippers lacked physical exercise as well as protein in their daily diet
compared to breakfast eaters. The only implication for implementation would be to
is
educate the elderly on exactly how important it is to eat breakfast daily.
Th
The second article selected is a randomized control trial on the implementation of the
sh
5As framework of obesity management in primary care. The study design does have a
specific goal and that is to successful implement the 5As framework for obesity
management in the primary care setting. The methodology is a randomized control trial,
which are often done to evaluate treatments or to assess new insights to bring to the
healthcare world. It is often geared towards health promotion and disease prevention.
