Age-related variability in body composition methods for assessment of percent fat and fat-free mass in men aged 20-74 years.
INTRODUCTION Assessing body composition is important because of the association between excess body fat or obesity and the increased risk for coronary artery disease, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. Methodological differences among indirect body composition techniques are a source of variability that can affect estimations of fat-free mass (FEM) or percent fat, especially for differ...
متن کاملFat-free and fat mass percentiles in 5225 healthy subjects aged 15 to 98 years.
OBJECTIVES Fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) are important in the evaluation of nutritional status. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple, reproducible method used to determine FFM and FM. Because normal values for FFM and FM have not yet been established in adults aged 15 to 98 y, its use is limited in the evaluation of nutritional status. The aims of this study were to determ...
متن کاملComparison of two hydrodensitometric methods for estimating percent body fat.
This study compared the two following hydrodensitometric methods for estimating percent body fat (%BF): 1) estimation of residual volume (RV) by helium dilution before and after measurement of immersed mass at RV, and 2) determination of immersed mass at a comfortable level of expiration (approximately functional residual capacity) with measurement of the associated gas volume by oxygen dilutio...
متن کاملthe effect of body fat mass and fat free mass on migraine headache.
background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...
