In adult patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), estimates of body water (V), fat-free mass (FFM), and body fat (BF) can be obtained by using anthropometric formulas for estimating V. Estimates of V, FFM, and BF can also be obtained by using reference (standard) methods in which V is evaluated by a standard dilution method. To test whether the estimates obtained by the various methods agree, we a...

INTRODUCTION/AIM Anthropometric methods of measuring the whole body and body parts are the most commonly applied methods of analysing the growth and development of children. Anthropometric measures are interconnected, so that with growth and development the change of one of the parameters causes the change of the other.

background: little is known about the effects of a low energy dense diet on weight maintenance and cardiovascular risks following a recent weight reduction. therefore, we assessed if weight maintenance, lipid profiles and glycemic control differ between low energy density diet and usual diet consumers following a recent weight reduction. method s: seventy patients with the history of weight red...

Background: Exercise training affects the adipose tissue, which may lead to the secretion of adipokines. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of endurance exercise training on vaspin, lipid profiles, and some anthropometric indices among young people. Methods: The participants included 26 young men selected and categorized into the intervention and control groups randomly. The intervention g...
