The Accuracy of Body Mass Index and Gallagher’s Classification in Detecting Obesity among Iranians
Background: The study was conducted to examine the comparability of the BMI and Gallagher’s classification in diagnosing obesity based on the cutoff points of the gold standards and to estimate suitable cutoff points for detecting obesity among Iranians.Methods: The cross-sectional study was comparative in nature. The sample consisted of 20,163 adults. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)...
متن کاملAssociation of Body mass index and serum ferritin level in pediatrics with Beta-thalassemia major disease
Background: Beta-thalassemia major is a type of inherited blood disease that results in variable outcomes such as severe anemia due to haemoglobin chains. Recurrent and lifelong blood transfusions as a treatment in beta-thalassemia major disease lead to iron deposition in various organs and cause the failure of multiple organs. Failure of affected organs leads to Body mass index (BMI) abnormali...
متن کاملEffect of body mass index on serum leptin levels.
BACKGROUND Leptin is product of ob gene, an adipose tissue derived hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of body fat mass by regulating appetite and metabolism while balancing energy intake and energy expenditure. The objective of the study was to evaluate possible association between serum Leptin levels and Body Mass Index (BMI) of gender in adult age group. METHODS Two-hundred-sev...
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 کاملCorrelation between Body Mass Index, Body Fat Proportion and Leptin Level in Obese Children
Obesity is a disorder of the nutritional status characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in the subcutaneous tissue and / or other tissues as a result of energy imbalance. 1 Leptin, the most important anorexigenic hormone is secreted by the adipose tissue, acts directly on the satiety and hunger center localized in the anterior hypothalamus and arcuate nucleus. 2 Body mass index (BMI) is ...
