Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of accumulation hormones on health decline among some married teachers from the middle school. Founded on the background which confirmed in one hand, that any hormone, natural or synthetic, has the potential to cause unwanted side effects. While in another hand, the report of similar studies confirms that profession of teaching increased obesity, due to working conditions which do not encourage the practice of physical activity. For the purpose, our sample is consisting of 34 married teachers, their average age ≤ 26,32±3,12. They accepted to venous blood withdrawal under fasting conditions and anthropometric measurement (body weight, body height and body mass index).The only differences between them are in the method of avoiding pregnancy. The datum was performed by SPSS 19 using Levene statistic,Shapiro-Wilk, T-test independently and correlation of Pearson.
 As limits of this modest study, we confirm: 

  • Working conditions increase the BMI greater than or equal to 30 which have a greater complication healthy rate confirm in the present study the case of the Traditional method which approves the theory that estrogen and progestin.
  • Side effects of oral contraceptive pills are related to the amount of Progesterone and estrogen present in them. While the working conditions amplified.

1. Introduction

Recognise that overweight/obesity has a multifactorial source, different genetic, metabolic, behavioural (habits and physical activity), environmental, cultural and socioeconomic factors that have contributed to its appearance. Although, similar studies confirm that the teaching profession is associated with obesity due to work conditions, which have contributed to the development of lifestyle-related illnesses (Leiva, Marchant, Ruggeri, & Saulo, 2015). Therefore, The most know that major hormonal changes occur in women with significant alterations in body weight (Wijma & Von Schou, 1992).

While the Hormones are incredibly vital chemical messengers in your body (Vincent, 2006) they surge through our bodies and cause a state of heightened awareness, usually in times of danger (Sally, 2014). It is impossible to overstate their fundamental role in the healthy functioning of the human body and in the normal progression from infancy through puberty (Nisha, 2006) whereas natural hormones are not expected, due to their short half-life (Tõnu, 2007). While physicians argue that synthetic hormones carry an additional risk to the health (Phyllis, 2006) as brain, heart, bones, muscles, and reproductive organs according to Linda (2005); Richard and Matthew (2011).

Check out the health status of our sample, which relies on birth control pills that contain synthetic versions of estrogen and progesterone (Scholastic Library Publishing, 2005). While Claudia Welch confirmed that women who had used the contraceptive pill had risks of synthetic hormone use at any stage of a woman's life. Although Jane and Melvyn (2005) confirm in one hand that pill contraceptive has strong side-effects and relatively low reliability on another it is not recommended as the main method of birth control.
While the oral contraceptive pills are the most widely prescribed medications for women.

Seen this reality, our aims in this study focused on the impact of accumulation hormones on health decline and their relationships with lipid profiles and body mass index among the married teachers in order to provide baseline information for future analytical studies.

2. Methodology

All variables were determined using commercial kits (laboratory of Dr. Bajaj Committee Zhana). All analyses were run in duplicate for the two groups. All results used in this research are derived from a medical assessment of passions.

2.1. Subjects

We studied a sample of 34 married teachers 17 who practices the traditional method (the day of ovulation) and those who takes pills, their average age 32,75±1,02 years during the academic year 2015-2016. They were selected by the intentional method because they voluntarily agreed to venous blood withdrawal under fasting conditions. All participants were healthy non-smokers not engaged in planned physical activity and not taking any medication on a regular basis. They were informed about procedures and all provided their written consent.

2.2. The Study Protocol

Our protocol was validated by the professor of physiology and nutrition the Institute Physical Education and the Sport University of Mostaganem.

The same social status and marital lifestyle education.
The entire sample is married teachers with the same obligations.
Our protocol is based on blind sample
The practice test was during medical visits by the occupational physician.
Our sample does not practice any sports. All the test was done 7 days before menses.

Body mass was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg and body height to the nearest 0.5 cm using standard medical equipment in subjects wearing light indoor clothing without shoes, jackets and sweaters. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as body mass (kg) divided by height (m) squared.

An estradiol test is a blood test that measures the amount of estradiol in your blood. It’s also called an E2 test. Estradiol is a form of the hormone estrogen, and it’s also called “17 beta-estradiol.” The ovaries, breasts and adrenal glands make estradiol. During pregnancy, the placenta also makes estradiol. Estradiol helps with the growth and development of female sex organs, including the: uterus-fallopian tubes-vagina-breasts. Estradiol helps to control the way fat is distributed in the female body. It’s also essential for bone and joint health in females. Janelle and Steven (2015) whereas Medical Encyclopedia seat that Birth control pills can affect test Daniel, David, and Isla (2015) results based on that we agree that more estrogen return to synthetic. Borawski and Bluth (2011); Carmina, Stanczyk, and Lobo (2014) The serum estradiol level in young women with normally functioning ovaries ranges between 100 and 300 pg/ml. Togas and David (2003) around 100–150 pg/mL during the period from –10 to –5 days before menses (Jill, ‎Karen, & Nori, 2007).

Before menopause, estradiol levels are widely variable throughout the menstrual cycle (Alina, 2015):

Mid-follicular phase: 27-123 pg/mL
Periovulatory: 96-436 pg/mL
Mid-luteal phase: 49-294 pg/mL
Postmenopausal: 0-40 pg/mL

Progesterone is a hormone that your body produces. Both men and women produce it. But it’s mainly produced in the ovaries, which means women tend to have more of it.

2.3. Normal Test Results

In general, normal serum progesterone test results fall within the following ranges:
Serum progesterone level of 10 ng/mL (31.8 mmol/l) to 20 ng/mL or greater 1 week before menses (Richa, 2014). While Cynthia C Chernecky and Barbara J Berger seat that pill contraceptive contains 0,1-0,3 ng/mL (Cynthia & Barbara, 2013). Based on that we agree that a more Progesterone return to synthetic

2.4. Statistical Analyses

Baseline characteristics of the participants are presented in Table 1. According to Shapiro-Wilk and Levene's test person correlation, our total sample accepts the normally distributed, homogeneous and total positive linear correlation between the parameters chosen to study in the exception of Progesterone which is strongly negative. Whereas Estrogen pg./ml is over the norms seated Togas Tulandi and ‎David Redwine confirmed by John (2012) and Donna (2016) in opposite of Progesterone which is in norms seated by Marc and Leon (2012) and Richa (2014) whereas  BMI of our total sample is overweight according to the standards of World Health Organization (2010).

4. Discussion

Through the Table 2 and Figure 1 all the comparisons are in the benefit of traditional method group  record in BMI, where our traditional group is Overweight in opposite the sample using hormonal which is Obese. Whereas these results line with normative WHO that Overweight defined as 25≤ BMI < 30; obesity defined as BMI ≥30 (Robert, Douglas, & Douglas, 2011). Although as sexual lifestyle hormone-related health decline, we agree that BMI ≥30 is a risk factor for high blood lipids, hypertension, diabetes and obesity (Wener & ‎Sharon, 2016). Furthermore, the data showed that BMI increased in both active and inactive (Wener & Sharon, 2015) the case of our total married teachers, where this leads us to confirms on one hand that Any hormone, natural or synthetic, has potential to cause unwanted side effects. While the literature shows that side effects hormonal methods Steroid hormones have dominated during the past 40 years, with more than 200 million women which risk obesity (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2005)  well on other hand, we approve the results of Taiwanese study which reported that  15 minutes of daily physical activity reduced all-cause mortality (David, 2013). While as a lifestyle, we refer to Potter and Paschke (2016)  which Recommended the aerobic exercise at 3 to 5 times per week for approximately 30 minutes (Patricia, Anne, & Patricia, 2016). Cross, this evidence, that hormonal contraceptives increase weight gain and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations (Roberts, Paul, & Margaret, 2013); (Teri & Marylou, 2015). Our results are in conformity with provided by Kerri and Frances (2016) and Mira (2015) the case of weight gain (Kerri & Frances, 2016); (Mira, 2015)  due to the technique contraceptive and lifestyle choice by the woman and her partner according to Zerf (2016). To conclude we agree, that hormone-related health decline is a complex metabolic disorder, with numerous genetic and environmental factors interacting and contributing to the pathophysiologic features according to Amanda, Steven and Ryan (2016); Zerf (2015); Page and Holmes (2009). However, these results are in conformity with the indicated which agree that profession of teaching increased obesity due to lack of physical activity in our case, we approve that married teachers using  hormonal contraceptives  risks fatness confirmed in values of BMI and overweight in the opposite of teachers using the traditional method due to levels  Estrogen and  Progesterone. While The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) found that women taking estrogen and progestin were at increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and breast cancer as compared with women taking placebo according to Jennifer Hays, et al.

5. Conclusions

Based on the standards specified by our physicians quoted in testing resources data, our results line with the diagnosis of Dagny (2007) the same hormones that birth control pills (and other hormone-containing birth control methods) regulate to prevent pregnancy can affect the way your body feels and functions (Dagny, 2007). Whereas our account T-test confirms that Too much of synthetic hormone can cause bloating, depression, fatigue, increased hair growth on the body, and increased weight gain according to Philip (2012) thing confirms by Swartz and Wright (2015) that the Doctors are reading and hearing that estrogen and progesterone cause heart disease (Swartz & Wright, 2015). Where women with the following health problems should avoid birth control pills (Judith, 2010) due to a Hormonal imbalance which is often incriminated in women taking contraceptive pills. Arveen and Michael (2012) From proofs, our results line with discernment described by Philip Maffetone, that medications have potential side effects that can impact our health, muscle strength, metabolism, and other systems of the body that promote health and fitness (Philip, 2015).
