چکیده

purpose accurate measurement or prediction of fat mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. most predictive equations currently used to assess percentage of body fat or fat mass, using simple anthropometric measurements were derived from people in western societies and they may not be appropriate for individuals with other genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. we developed equations to predict fat mass from anthropometric measurements in young indian adults. methods fat mass was measured in 60 females and 58 males, aged 20 to 29 yrs by using hydrostatic weighing and by simultaneous measurement of residual lung volume. anthropometric measure included weight (kg), height (m) and 4 skinfold thickness [sts (mm)]. sex specific linear regression model was developed with fat mass as the dependent variable and all anthropometric measures as independent variables. results the prediction equation obtained for fat mass (kg) for males was 8.46+0.32 (weight) − 15.16 (height) + 9.54 (log of sum of 4 sts) (r2= 0. 53, see=3.42 kg) and − 20.22 + 0.33 (weight) + 3.44 (height) + 7.66 (log of sum of 4 sts) (r2=0.72, see=3.01kg) for females. conclusion a new prediction equation for the measurement of fat mass was derived and internally validated in young indian adults using simple anthropometric measurements.

Fat mass and lipid profile in young adults born preterm.

CONTEXT Associations between small size at birth and abnormal cardiovascular parameters in later life have been reported. It is, however, unknown whether the effect of a small size at birth on cardiovascular risk factors in later life is due to a small size for gestational age or due to prematurity. Due to advances in neonatal care, survival of preterm infants has significantly improved, and no...

Probiotic supplementation attenuates increases in body mass and fat mass during high-fat diet in healthy young adults.

OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the effects of the probiotic, VSL#3, on body and fat mass, insulin sensitivity, and skeletal muscle substrate oxidation following 4 weeks of a high-fat diet. METHODS Twenty non-obese males (18-30 years) participated in the study. Following a 2-week eucaloric control diet, participants underwent dual X-ray absorptiometry to determine body composition, a...

Body mass index and percentage body fat as health indicators for young adults.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the validity of an axiom that body mass index (BMI) and percentage body fat (%BF), above an ideal, are health risk factors. METHODS Participants were 2615 volunteers who participated in a health-screening program conducted in college residence halls over a consecutive 8-year period. RESULTS Nearly half of all participants were misclassified when BMI and/or %BF were...

Prediction of total body muscle mass from simple anthropometric measurements in young Indian males.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The total body skeletal muscle mass plays a significant role in both health and disease states. Accurate measurement or prediction of muscle mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. There are many prediction equations derived in the Western populations to estimate skeletal muscle mass, however, regression equations best fit the population they are d...

Fat mass is not beneficial to bone in adolescents and young adults.

CONTEXT Although muscle mass is beneficial to bone, studies on the effect of fat mass on bone have yielded conflicting results. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the relations between lean and fat mass and bone structure. DESIGN This study was cross-sectional. SETTING The study was conducted in a general community. SUBJECTS Subjects included 300 healthy sexually mature adole...
