Low vitamin D, and bone mineral
density with depressive symptoms
burden in menopausal and
post-menopause women
A. Bener

Objective The objective of current study was conducted to deter-
mine whether low vitamin D level and BMD are associated
with depressive symptoms as burden in Arab women during the
menopausal and post-menopausal period.
Design and setting A cross-sectional descriptive study.
Subjects Amulti-stage sampling designwas used and a represen-
tative sample of 1436 women aged 45–65 years were included.
Methods Bone mineral densitometry measurements [BMD]
(g/m2) was assessed at the BMD unit using. Data on body mass
index (BMI), clinical biochemistry variables including serum 25-
hydroxyvitamin D were collected. The Beck Depression Inventory
(BDI) was administered for depression purposes.
Results Of the 1436 women living in urban and rural areas,
1106 women agreed to participate (77.0%). There were statis-
tically significance differences between menopausal stages with
regards to ethnicity, education level, systolic and diastolic blood
pressure, parity, sheesha smoking and depressive symptoms. Over-
all, 30.4% of women were affected with osteopenia/osteoporosis
in menopause and postmenopausal (24.4% vs. 35.7%; P = 0.0442).
Osteopenia in menopause and postmenopausal (18.7% vs. 29.3%;
P = 0.030) and osteoporosis (9.9% vs. 15.9%; P = 0.049) were signifi-
cantly higher in post-menopausal women than in pre-menopausal
women (P = 0.046). Similarly, vitamin D deficiencywasmore preva-
lent among postmenopausal women thanmenopausal women. The
study revealed that vitamin D level, hemoglobin level, serum iron
fasting plasma glucose, calcium, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL
cholesterol, alkaline phosphate and magnesium were consider-
ably lower in postmenopausal compared to menopause women
(P< 0.001).
Conclusion The study confirmed strong association between vita-
min D level and BMD in Arab women during the menopausal and
post-menopausal period.

Introduction Nomophobia is the fear of feeling disconnected and
is considered a modern situational phobia.
Objectives No psychometric scales in Italian are available inves-
tigating nomophobia. Therefore, we planned a translation and
validation study of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) by
Yildirim and Correia.
Aims Subjects were recruited via an online survey using a snow-
ball approach.
Methods NMP-Q was translated from English into Italian. To
explore the factor structure, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was
carried out. A principal component analysis (PCA) approach with
varimax rotation was performed.
Results Four hundred and three subjects volunteered to take part
into the study. Age was 27.91 ± 8.63 y, 160 were males (39.7%) and
243 females (60.3%). 45 subjects used to spend less than 1 hour
on their mobile (11.2%), 94 between 1 and 2 hours (23.3%), 69
between 2 and 3 hours (17.1%), 58 between 3 and 4 hours (14.4%),
48 between 4 and 5 hours (11.9%), 29 between 5 and 7 hours (7.2%),
36 between 7 and 9 hours (8.9%) and 24 more than 10 hours (6.0%).
Eigen values and the scree-plot supported a 3-factorial nature of the
translated questionnaire. NMP-Q showed a Cronbach’s alpha coef-
ficient of 0.95 (0.94, 0.89 and 0.88 for the three factors). The first
factor explained 23.32% of the variance, the second and the third
23.91% and 18.67%, respectively. Further, the total score of NMP-
Q correlated with the number of hours spent on the mobile, the
age (beta-coefficient −0.33, P = 0.016) and sex (being higher among
females).
Conclusions The Italian version of NMP-Q proved to be reliable.

The relationship between sensory
processing disorder and temperament
on emotional functioning and
self-efficacy in childhood
S. Buchris Bazak
Qiryat-Gat, Israel
My study presents and explores the emotional functions and the
sense of self-efficacy among school-age children (6–10) with sen-
sory processing disorder manifested in sensory processing disorder
(SPD) while addressing their temperament. Central questions in
this study involve the element of temperament, which deter-
mined the emotional functioning of children who suffer from SPD
and examined whether temperament explaining the variance in
these children’s self-efficacy. The SPD was the independent vari-
able. Emotional functioning and the sense of self-efficacy were the
dependent variables and temperament served as the mediating
variable.The study focused on 209 students (129 boys, 80 girls)
between the ages 6–10 (M= 8, SD = 1.13), studying in schools in dif-
ferent geographical areas in Israel. The Short Sensory Profile (SPS)
Questionnaire was administered to the students in order to char-
acterize their sensory profiles and served as a tool for screening
and identifying the children with SPD and children who will be
included in the control group. The questions raised in this study,
have both educational and clinical research importance. They can
be used as the basis for educational interventions for children with
SOR and may be useful in supporting the building of an integrated
intervention and treatment program.
