Race and epicardial fat: the impact of anthropometric measurements, percent body fat and sex.
OBJECTIVE Epicardial fat is known to be thicker in White men than in Black men. The impact of sex, % body fat, and other anthropometric measures on epicardial fat thickness has not been described. Therefore we sought to evaluate how the racial differences in epicardial fat thickness would differ by these factors. METHODS We used two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography to measure the ep...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of anthropometric prediction equations for estimation of body fat in Indonesian men.
Body composition of 292 males aged between 18 and 65 years was measured using the deuterium oxide dilution technique. Participants were divided into development (n=146) and cross-validation (n=146) groups. Stature, body weight, skinfold thickness at eight sites, girth at five sites, and bone breadth at four sites were measured and body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-st...
متن کاملDerivation and validation of simple equations to predict total muscle mass from simple anthropometric and demographic data.
BACKGROUND Muscle mass reflects and influences health status. Its reliable estimation would be of value for epidemiology. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to derive and validate anthropometric prediction equations to quantify whole-body skeletal muscle mass (SM) in adults. DESIGN The derivation sample included 423 subjects (227 women) aged 18-81 y with a body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)) ...
متن کاملAnthropometric and body composition parameters to predict body fat percentage and lipid profile in schoolchildren
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of anthropometric and body composition parameters in the prediction of body fat percentage and lipid profile in schoolchildren. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 209 schoolchildren aged between seven and nine years old. The following variables were evaluated: weight, height, body mass index, percentage of body fat, arm and waist circumferences, conicity ind...
متن کاملAnthropometric Indicators of Obesity and Percent Body Fat – A Measure for Weight Management
Obesity, along with other unhealthy living habits, nowadays represents one of the greatest risk factors for various diseases. This study was designed to define the most suitable anthropometric technique among body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and Body fat percent (BF) as indices of obesity in women living in Raipur City. The study was a cross-sectional design. A selected sample of 70...
