Article Abstract
Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common pelvic floor dysfunction in pregnancy. The relationship between biomechanical changes and pregnancy-related UI has not been fully elucidated.
Objective: To investigate the association of various musculoskeletal and anthropometric changes in pregnancy that affect gestational UI.
Methods: The study was conducted with 275 pregnant women. Ninety-three, 110 and 72 women were in first, second and third trimesters, respectively. Incontinence Impact Questionnaire for UI, Urogenital Distress Inventory-Short Form and Incontinence Severity Index were applied. Lumbar lordosis measurement was performed by Baseline Bubble Inclinometer while diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) measurement was carried out by finger-width method. Manual muscle test for rectus abdominis and right and left external oblique abdominal muscles, and Benign joint hypermobility test with Beighton scoring method were also applied as musculoskeletal measurements. Tape measurement at the waist, umbilical and hip levels, caliper with bi-iliac and bi-trochanteric diameters were also recorded as anthropometric measurements.
Results: Significant associated factors for UI were: umbilical DRA (OR = 1.57; = .012); rectus abdominis muscle strength (values of 3 and below, OR = 1.2; = .014); umbilical environment (OR = 1.1; = .029); bi-iliac diameter (OR = 1.1; = .05;) and bi-trochanteric diameter (OR = 1.3; = .05), respectively.
Conclusion: Changing musculoskeletal and anthropometric characteristics of pregnant women should be taken into consideration in UI follow-up during pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
- The World Health Assembly set six global nutrition targets (GNTs) in 2012 to improve maternal and child health, but there has been no comprehensive report detailing progress from 2012 to 2021.
- A study evaluated the prevalence and impact of these nutrition targets across 204 countries using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 and projected future trends up to 2050.
- By 2021, only a few countries met some GNTs; most showed increased child overweight and notable decreases in female anaemia, highlighting a connection between societal development status and nutritional challenges.

Objectives: This study aimed to classify and identify shoulder movement patterns based on shoulder joint range of motion (RoM) by applying the K-means clustering algorithm.
Design: Observational study using data from the 5th Size Korea Anthropometric Survey (2003-2004).
Setting: Data analysis focused on anonymized shoulder RoM measurements from a national survey.

Background: The new and therapeutic style of cyclic yoga, which is the art of aligning asana, pranayama, and yoga mudra techniques, can be used as a non-invasive style to improve or prevent some musculoskeletal disorders. For this purpose, this study was designed to investigate a selected course of cyclic yoga practice on some anthropometric indicators, musculoskeletal disorders, and blood pressure in middle-aged women.
Methods: ː Forty-two middle-aged women were assigned either to cyclic yoga (n = 21, 53.

Article Synopsis
- Peri-trochanteric fractures are common in older adults with osteoporosis and lead to significant health issues, including pain, immobility, and increased mortality, especially in Nordic countries.
- The study is a randomized, double-blind trial involving 64 patients to test the effects of trehalose, a sugar with potential wound healing benefits, against a placebo over 12 weeks, monitoring inflammation and healing.
- Ethical approval has been obtained from Shahid Beheshti University, with the trial registered in the Iranian Clinical Trials database for transparency and accountability.
Association between metabolic phenotypes and incident pre-sarcopenia: 3 years follow-up of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.

Obesity Research Center, Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Objectives: In the context of musculoskeletal health, the emergence of pre-sarcopenia as a precursor to sarcopenia has garnered attention for its potential insights into early muscle loss. We explored the association between different metabolic phenotypes of obesity, and the incidence of pre-sarcopenia over a 3-year follow-up in a cohort from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
Methods: In this 3-year longitudinal study, 2257 participants were categorized into four groups based on their BMI and metabolic status: metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO).
