OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF) among Lebanese female adolescents. METHODS 51 Lebanese females aged 12 to 18 years participated in this study. BMI was calculated as weight/height. Adiposity was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). RESULTS Correlation coefficient of percent body fat (%BF) with BMI ...

Childhood obesity is associated with a lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease and poses a serious challenge to future health care. In children, there is ...

Preweaning piglet mortality is largely attributed to the incidence of low birth weight and birth weight variation within the litter. Therefore, developing strategies to increase within-litter uniformity of piglet birth weight is important. This study investigated the effects of different feeding strategies based on specific nutrient supplies in sow diet on the within-litter variation of piglet ...
