Body fat, body fat distribution, lean body mass and atrial fibrillation and flutter. A Danish cohort study

Serum creatinine and fat-free mass (lean body mass).

using this multiplex-PCR assay, suggests that the 22 and 22 alleles are much less common than the 22 allele in these populations (data not shown). These results are in agreement with the findings of Eng et al. (4 ). With the exception of the 22 total deletion spanning .300 kb of the a-globin cluster that was described in a Chinese family (3, 9), this multiplex-PCR assay detects all described So...

Body fat and lean body mass assessment in human subjects--a comparison of two different techniques.

Body fat and lean body mass was assessed in young college students by two different techniques involving NIR method and body circumference measurements. NIR technique significantly over-estimated the body fat as compared to the results obtained by the other method. The difference between the methods was 23-30% high for fat and the variation was 5-9% low for lean body mass for the whole group. R...

Body fat, body fat distribution and the respiratory system: a "fat neck" syndrome?

Does body adiposity index evaluate percentage of body fat?

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the novel marker, body adiposity index (BAI), is accurate to measure percentage of body fat (PBF). Materials and methods: Seventy-eight males were undergone anthropometric examination. PBF was calculated by BAI and measured using InBody 3.0.   Results: Significant correlation was found between BAI and PBF (r = 0.751; P < ...

Body composition characteristics and body fat distribution in lean women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Body composition, fat distribution and bone mineral density were examined in lean women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and compared with body composition and fat distribution characteristics of weight-matched lean controls. Ten women with PCOS and a body mass index (BMI) below 25.00 (kg/m(2)) and 10 healthy women with a BMI below 25.00 (kg/m(2)) matched for age and weight and B...
