Consumers are concerned with fat consumption from meat products, and the ability to determine fat has changed with recent technological advances. The objective of this study was to predict fat percentage within marbling scores and compare 3 fat analysis procedures. Steaks (n = 119) were selected by USDA grading system using an E + V Vision Grading camera at a commercial beef plant during 1 d. T...

Introduction: Complications of obesity and high fat in children are grave now and future. The aim of this research is comparing percentage of body fat in active and inactive girls using Anthropometric Parameters.Materials and Methods: This research is descriptive- correlation that 144 active(n= 70) and inactive(n= 74) girls aged 8 to 10 years old were selected by random cluster sampling method ...

OBJECTIVE This is an Asian study, which was designed to examine the correlations between biochemical data and food composition of diabetic patients in Taiwan. METHODS One hundred and seventy Taiwanese diabetic patients were enrolled. The correlations between biochemical data and diet composition (from 24-hour recall of intake food) of these patients were explored (Spearman correlation, p < 0....

OBJECTIVE To establish reference standards for percentage body fat measured in Hong Kong Chinese children, by methods involving bioelectrical impedance analysis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Thirty-six randomly selected primary and secondary schools and a teaching hospital in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS A total of 14 842 students randomly selected from the schools and two additional ...

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...

Carcass growth is made up primarily of fat and protein. As cattle approach mature weight, carcass gain makes up a higher percentage of total gain. This is why dressing percentage increases with days on feed. Although performance is typically reduced for long fed cattle, adjusting performance for dressing percent can give us an indication of the performance of carcass growth. Fat makes up a high...

BACKGROUND South Asians were reported to have a higher liver fat content as compared to BMI-matched Caucasians. This study compared the increase in liver fat content in response to overfeeding with a high fat diet in South Asian and Caucasian men when matched for body fat percentage. METHODS Ten South Asian men (BMI 18-29 kg/m(2)) and 10 Caucasian men (BMI 22-33 kg/m(2)), aged 20-40 y, matche...

OBJECTIVE Determining the correlation between equations for estimating body fat percentage (BFP) based on Slaughter's anthropometric equation, which deals with skinfold measurement, and Deurenberg's equations for predicting total percentage body fat (%BF) which use body mass index (BMI) results. METHODS This study used data concerning 1,341 children and adolescents aged seven to 15 years-old ...
