Abstract: Dejavniki življenjskega sloga in zdravja so pomembni dejavniki tveganja za slabše zdravje vojakov v njihovem aktivnem in tudi poznejšem popoklicnem obdobju. Obstajajo povezave med več zdravstvenimi dejavniki in vedenjem (gibalno in kognitivno dejavnostjo, prehrano, kakovostjo spanja, kajenjem in uživanjem alkohola) s tveganjem za nastanek poškodb še v aktivni dobi ter kognitivni upad in demenco, vključno s srčno-žilnimi dejavniki tveganja. Poleg pregleda znanstvenih publikacij o znanih dejavnikih zdravega življenjskega sloga pripadnic in pripadnikov vojske smo se osredinili na tiste, ki dejansko obravnavajo socialne dejavnike in dejavnike zdravega življenjskega sloga ter so bili zajeti v spletnem vprašalniku pripadnikov in pripadnic Slovenske vojske (SV). Spletni vprašalnik, ki je zajel nekatere karakteristike funkcionalnega statusa in določene dejavnike življenjskega sloga (prehranske in gibalne navade ter zdravju škodljive navade), je služil za podrobnejši vpogled v dejansko stanje, upoštevanje smernic k zdravju usmerjenih praks ter mogočih tveganj za nastanek poškodb in razvoj nadaljnjih bolezenskih stanj (predvsem kroničnih nenalezljivih bolezni) v populaciji poklicnih vojakov in vojakinj SV. Ker je zadovoljstvo z življenjem temeljna komponenta subjektivnega blagostanja, zdravja, prijateljstva, partnerstva in zadovoljstva s seboj, je bil del ankete tudi vprašalnik o zadovoljstvu z življenjem, ki je bil uporabljen že v predhodni raziskavi zadovoljstva z življenjem pripadnikov SV. Spletna anketa je zajela podatke pripadnikov in prepadnic, ki so prostovoljno pristopili k raziskavi med 11. novembrom 2022 in 21. januarjem 2023. Pregled dejavnikov zdravega življenjskega sloga pripadnikov in pripadnic SV ponuja podroben vpogled v ključne dejavnike, ki podpirajo zdravje. Rezultati raziskave bodo dragocena usmeritev in opomnik za nadaljnje načrtovanje preventivnih, v zdravje usmerjenih aktivnosti, prilagoditev delovnih nalog ter zagotavljanje dobrega zdravja pripadnikov in pripadnic SV.

Abstract: Introduction: Sarcopenia is a multifaceted condition affecting between 10 and 16% of the global population, and although multiple classification algorithms exist, no prevalence has been reported for a representative sample of the Slovenian population. Furthermore, multiple behavioural factors, such as malnutrition, physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyle and lower cognitive function, can contribute to the risk of sarcopenia. This study aims to: a) determine sarcopenia prevalence among Slovenian older adults according to different classification algorithms, b) compare the agreement among the algorithms and c) evaluate the relationship between proposed risk factors and sarcopenia. Methods: 654 participants (≥60 years, 30.4% males) have been classified into sarcopenia groups according to eight algorithms, and agreement (Fleiss K) between them was calculated. Additionally, age, sex, nutritional status, physical activity, sedentary levels and cognitive function were assessed as sarcopenia risk/protective factors. Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia according to EWGSOP2 was 4.1%, ranging from 2.1% to 15.3%, when classified by all eight algorithms. Overall agreement between algorithms was weak (K=.429; 95% CI .414 to .444) with 0.6% of participants classified as sarcopenic by all eight algorithms. Adequate nutrition and physical activity were identified as protective factors, while age, lower cognitive function and sedentary lifestyle were considered risk factors. Conclusion: Sarcopenia prevalence among the Slovenian general population was lower than in the global population. We can conclude that different sarcopenia algorithms lead to a different prevalence of sarcopenia. It is of great importance to be cautious when comparing prevalences among studies and to further validate the classification algorithms.

Abstract: Although sedentary behavior (SB) is still an under-researched area, some studies have shown a significant association between prolonged sitting and an increased risk of mortality, due to various causes, independent of physical activity. Despite the health risks, there are currently no specific guidelines for individuals to self-assess their SB. A pilot observational study was conducted as part of the “Knowledge for Health” event. A short online quiz “Sedentary meter” was developed, consisting of a pictorial scale to help event participants assess their daily sedentary time and to promote a better understanding of the associated health risks. The quiz questions were formulated based on the WHO definition of SB. The participants’ task was to subjectively estimate the amount of sedentary time in various types of SB on a typical day. The results obtained for SB could then be immediately compared with the figurative scale based on the WHO guidelines. The analysis confirmed SB (533.0±224.7 min/day) in all age groups, although possible differences according to the type of SB were noted. Despite statistically non-significant differences, those between age groups may indicate the extent to which SB can be individualized. The differences between age groups may indicate the importance of considering SB which can be targeted based on each age group's daily routine. The simple tool for accessing SB raised awareness of which specific type of SB accounts for the majority of participants' daily sedentary time. The self-critical acceptance of the “poor results” across all age groups shows the effectiveness of the initiative in raising awareness of SB issues.

Abstract: Background. The COVID-19 pandemic declared on March 11th, 2020, has had a substantial impact on the lives of all over the world. The student population, being one of the most vulnerable and substile ones, was forced to face specific unexpected circumstances for the first time in their lives. Objective. In this paper, the authors explored the reflections of the COVID-19 experience and basic segments of everyday life of university students after the first academic year under pandemic measures and a follow-up year with their subjective perception of to what extent their lives have changed and how they were able to adapt to COVID-19 emergency measures. Design. The field research was conducted among students in two European countries: Slovenia and Serbia. The qualitative semi-structured interviews with students (N=20, 50% male) were executed in June-July 2020 and June-July 2021. Results. The basic segments of students' daily lives underwent significant changes, yet they successfully coped and adapted to the COVID-19 emergency measures. Notably, improvements were observed in study strategies, reducing fear and loneliness. Above all, the primary longing was for social contact and gathering with friends. In their private lives, they were more concerned about opportunities but on the other hand, they gained more free time for various non-academic activities. Finally, sports science students have proven better-coping mechanisms with extraordinary circumstances. Conclusion. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the changes in the daily lives of students during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
