Nutritional counseling for children with obesity is an important component of management. This randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare change in body mass index (BMI) z score after 6 months. Children 8 to 16 years with a BMI greater than the 85th percentile were randomized to standard of care nutrition counseling versus intervention with standard nutrition counseling including port...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION We aimed to investigate the long-term trajectory of general adiposity assessed by the body mass index (BMI) before the onset of type 2 diabetes in Japanese individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined data on 1,553 Japanese men without diabetes. Mean BMI and incident cases of diabetes (diabetes indicated by fasting glucose concentrations ≥7.0 mmol/L, a self...

BACKGROUND Leptin is product of ob gene, an adipose tissue derived hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of body fat mass by regulating appetite and metabolism while balancing energy intake and energy expenditure. The objective of the study was to evaluate possible association between serum Leptin levels and Body Mass Index (BMI) of gender in adult age group. METHODS Two-hundred-sev...

Introduction: Many documents demonstrates relationship between high Body Mass Index and women anxiety and depression ,but among our research now ,there aren't t any evidence about postpartum , so this study describes relationship between women Body Mass Index (BMI) before pregnancy and their postpartum anxiety level . Methods: In this study , 54 primiparous women were selected randomly and the...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the impact of recent increases in obesity and more rapid gains in body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular risk factors. We investigated life-course BMI trajectories associations with adult blood pressure (BP) across two generations. METHODS We used the the 1946 and 1958 British birth cohorts. Joint multivariate response models were fitted to longitudinal BMI m...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (bmi) and the outcomes of isolated cabg (coronary artery bypass graft) performed in shahid madani hospital of khorramabad, iran. data was retrospectively collected from the medical records retrieved from the hospital records office. all patients who had undergone isolated cabg under cardiopulmonary bypass in the cardi...

Marked disturbance in eating behaviour and obesity are common sequelae of hypothalamic damage. To investigate whether these were associated with dysfunctional leptin central feedback, we evaluated serum leptin and leptin binding activity in 37 patients (age 3.5-21 yr) with tumour or trauma involving the hypothalamic-pituitary axis compared with 138 healthy children (age 5.0-18.2 yr). Patients w...

BACKGROUND Body weight may influence liver size. AIM To determine the correlation between clinical and ultrasound evaluation of the liver size according to body mass index (BMI). MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study of 81 subjects aged 25 ± 6 years (43 females). Two percussion measurements were taken and ultrasonography was performed on the same site demarcated by percussion. RESU...

The present study attempted to establish appropriate cut off levels of Body Mass Index (BMI) for defining overweight as a risk for the development of type 2 diabetes considering percentage body fat (BF) as standard. A total of 300 patients of known type 2 diabetes participated in the study (150 males and 150 females, all > or = 40 years of age). Clinical examination was done. Anthropometric mea...
