PURPOSE To analyze the correlation between serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and obesity indices including body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), total fat mass (FM), truncal fat mass (TFM), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in Korean adolescents. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study based on data derived from the 2010-2011 Korean National Health and...

INTRODUCTION There are so many studies associating blood pressure in children and adolescents with body fatness i.e. stating that high body fat is associated with high blood pressure in children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine that which portion of the body mass index, fat or fat free mass index is more influencing the blood pressure in Gujarati Indian adolescents. ...

Objective This study aimed to investigate the shortcoming of BMI as a measurement adiposity in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD). Methods Two different matching procedures were used compare 55 FPLD versus control severe obesity (N = 548 patients) relationship between body weight, fat distribution, and metabolic diseases, such diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, nonalcohol...

We aimed to correlate plasma glucagon levels with anthropometric measures and abdominal adipose tissue depots. Nonobese males (n = 81; BMI < 25 kg/m2) with T2DM of less than one-year duration and nonobese males without diabetes (n = 30) were evaluated for the following: anthropometry (BMI, waist circumference, W-HR, and truncal skinfolds), whole-body DEXA (for body fat and fat-free mass), and M...

fitness and environmental factors. Body composition plays a main role for the proper functioning of lungs in healthy individuals.[2,3] Body composition parameters such as body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), and fat-free mass index (FFMI) and their association with pulmonary functions were documented by many researchers, since the previous years, with different results in both genders. ...

BACKGROUND low fat-free mass has been related to high mortality in patients. This study evaluated the relationship between body composition of healthy elderly subjects and mortality. METHODS in 1999, 203 older subjects underwent measurements of body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis, Charlson co-morbidity index and estimation of energy expenditure through physical activity by a ...

there is a new technique to measure total body water named bio-electrical impedance analysis (bia), used in healthy subjects and patients. bia determines the total body water (tbw), fat-free mass (ffm), body cell mass (bcm), extra cellular water (ecw), and intra cellular water (icw) in subjects without significant fluid and electrolyte imbalance. there are several methods such as segmental bia,...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the variations in body weight, food intake, and body composition of both male and female C57BL/6J mice during a diet-induced obesity model with high-fat diet (HFD) feeding. METHODS Mice were individually housed and fed ad libitum either a low-fat diet (LFD, 10% calories from fat; n = 15 male, n = 15 female) or HFD (45% calories from fat; n = 277 male, n = 278 female) ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the associations between birth weight (BW), infancy, and childhood weight gain and adult body composition. METHODS Subjects included participants of five birth cohort studies from low and middle income nations (Brazil, Guatemala, India, Philippines, and South Africa; n = 3432). We modeled adult body composition as a function of BW and conditional weight gain (CW), repre...
