body weight is a better predictor of bone mineral density than body mass index in postmenopausal women
background: we aimed to evaluate the effect of body weight and body mass index (bmi) on bone mineral density (bmd) in healthy postmenopausal iranian women. material and methods: two hundred postmenopausal women (age between 51 and 69 years) who had presented to the nuclear medicine center at shariati hospital in tehran, iran between april 2012 and august 2013 were included in this cross sec...
متن کاملPercent body fat is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk factors than body mass index
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the predictive values of percent body fat (PBF) and body mass index (BMI) for cardiovascular risk factors, especially when PBF and BMI are conflicting. BMI was calculated by the standard formula and PBF was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis. A total of 3859 ambulatory adult Han Chinese subjects (2173 males and 1686 females, age ran...

متن کاملBioelectrical Impedance versus Body Mass Index for Predicting Body Composition Parameters in Sedentary Job Women
Objective: Nowadays the value of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in the estimation of body adiposity both on a clinical basis in the individual and epidemiologically in large populations is of great interest. The current study determine accuracy of BIA compared with body mass index (BMI) measurement for estimating body composition in a group of normal weight employee women with a sedenta...
متن کاملTotal body mass is better than body mass index as a prognostic parameter for bone mineral density in dialyzed patients.
Assuming that nutrition status also influences bone mineral density (BMD) in dialyzed patients, we compared BMD in two groups of dialyzed patients: those with a body mass index (BMI) above 25 kg/m2 [group I: n = 20; 11 women; 19 on peritoneal dialysis (PD), 1 on hemodialysis (HD); age: 60.9 +/- 13.6 years; time on dialysis: 19.3 months (range: 6.5 - 45.7 months)], and those with a BMI below 25 ...
