BACKGROUND Upper body subcutaneous neck fat (UBSF) is a unique fat depot anatomically separate from visceral abdominal fat that appears to be associated with cardiometabolic risk above and beyond generalized adiposity. We sought to develop a protocol to quantify UBSF using multidetector computed tomography measurements. METHODS AND RESULTS Protocol development was performed in participants fr...

Materials and methods a retrospective analysis 1300 birth histories whose mothers permanently reside on territory Crimea was carried out. Mass length, chest circumference were analyzed. The assessment obtained anthropometric indicators out by m...

Physical development was assessed in 2329 Moscow schoolchildren and 1433 Kiev ones aged 8 to 11 and 15 to 17 years. The Moscow and Kiev children aged 8 to 11 years did not differ in the basic anthropometric indices of physical development and force capacities. Gracilization processes were prevalent in the Kiev schoolchildren. Statistically significant differences were established in respiratory...

The objective of this study was to clarify the current status of endangered Kiso horse, population statistics and biological traits, in order to take a step for the conservation by scientific approach. We surveyed 125 Kiso horses (86.2% of the whole breed), analyzed the construction of the population, and calculated the coefficient of inbreeding and effective population size. Moreover, we confi...

Objective: The present study was undertaken to find the anthropometric parameter like birth weight (BW), length, occipitofrontal circumference(OFC), midarm circumference(MAC), chest circumference (CC), midthigh circumference(MTC) and maximum calf circumference (MCC) of normal healthy neonates at birth which can be used to draw growth chart. Study design: Hospital based cross-sectional study. Th...

Abstract The study was conducted to assess the phenotypic diversity within indigenous chicken population in Tanzania, central zone, preciously Dodoma and Singida regions. Six districts from two regions were purposively selected based on their potential for population. A total of 176 adult local chickens both sexes used estimate body weight, linear measurements visual assessments traits. results...

To estimate the effect of maternal zinc deficiency on pregnancy outcomes, we conducted a zinc supplementation trial in an urban shantytown in Lima, Peru, a population with habitual low zinc intakes. Beginning at 10-24 wk gestation, 1295 mothers were randomly assigned to receive prenatal supplements containing 60 mg iron and 250 (g folate, with or without 15 mg zinc. Women were followed up month...
