Body cell mass index in children: interpretation of total body potassium results.
Body cell mass (BCM) is a valuable measure of functional nutritional status in children. As BCM is related to body size, it is essential that BCM is adjusted for stature when interpreting BCM data in children. Our aim was to examine the relationship between height and BCM in healthy children to determine the power by which height should be raised to adjust BCM for stature. This cross-sectional ...
متن کاملThe association between body mass index and the results of appendectomy in children suspected to acute appendicitis
Background and Objective: In the present study, the diagnostic agreement between surgical and pathological findings of appendicitis in children was tested. The aim was to assess the association between patient body mass index (BMI) and this diagnostic agreement. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 121 consecutive children aged less than 15 years suspected to acute app...
متن کاملBody cell mass measured by total body potassium in normal-weight and obese men and women.
OBJECTIVE Total body potassium (TBK) concentration is linearly correlated with the size of the body cell mass (BCM). The aim of this study was to compare BCM in normal-weight and obese individuals. METHODS 271 individuals (207 males, 64 females), 20 to 67 years of age, participated in this study. Subjects were separated by body mass index (BMI): BMI < 25 kg/m(2) (BMI-L) and BMI > 25 kg/m(2) (...
متن کاملHigh body mass index in rural children.
The affordability of food and eating habits, both of which can be affected by the family’s socioeconomic status, are important factors in determining the body weight of rural children 2 . It is most important to know what the children eat, and clarifying “eating at home and at school” from Montgomery-Reagan et al.’s preliminary report seems important. Even more important, however, is the discor...
متن کاملThe association of body mass index with dental caries in an Iranian sample of children

Despite its decline in all age groups on a worldwide basis, it is still a serious public health problem in children and its control should be a priority. It has been demonstrated that dental caries can gradually reduce children's weight gain, which may be reversed after complete oral rehabilitation. The main aim of this st...
