Height differences and the associations between food insecurity, percentage body fat and BMI among men and women.
OBJECTIVE The present study examined the associations between adult food insecurity (FI) and percentage body fat (%BF) and BMI, stratified by height (HT). DESIGN, SETTING AND SUBJECTS %BF, HT and BMI of 2117 men and 1909 women in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002 were analysed in relation to adult food security status using multiple regression procedures. RESULT...
متن کاملDoes 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 < ...
متن کاملBody mass index and serum leptin concentration independently estimate percentage body fat in older adults.
BACKGROUND Because serum concentrations of leptin, a hormone produced by adipocytes, can be relatively reliably and inexpensively measured, it may be considered complementary to, or even a substitute for, body mass index (BMI) as a measure of adiposity. OBJECTIVE We examined the ability of BMI and leptin concentrations, separately and together, to estimate total percentage fat in older adults...
متن کاملDecreased Expression Levels of S100A12 and RAGE May Be Associated with Chronic HBV Infection
Background and Aims: Engagement of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligand “S100A12 protein” induce a cascade of reactions that eventually might lead to develop an inflammatory response dependent on NF-κB. Although involvement of S100A12 and RAGE in some autoimmune disease have proved, in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection functions of the prote...
متن کاملChlamydophila pneumoniae specific antibodies in Thai patients with myocardial infarction.
To investigate the correlation between Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a total of 101 serum specimens collected from patients with AMI admitted to the coronary care unit, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital, and serum specimens collected from healthy blood donors (control group) were examined by using the micro-immunofluorescence test. C. pneumoniae antibody-positi...
