introduction: limited data are available on the relationship between nutritional status and tuberculosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the body mass index (bmi) and serum albumin level in patients with active tuberculosis (atb) and latent tuberculosis (ltb). materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 17 patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary tb  who we...

background and purpose: lifestyle is defined as the unique behavioral patterns and habits of an individual. if lifestyle is imbalanced, risk of illnesses and burdensome events increases. lifestyle plays a key role in the modulation of body mass index (bmi) and prevention of obesity. this study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifestyle and bmi in the administrative employees of boj...

background: the aim was to investigate the relationships among lean mass (lm), fat mass (fm), and bone mineral density (bmd) in women stratified by body mass index (bmi) (bmi – normal-weight, overweight, obese) and to determine threshold at which body fat assumes negative relationship with bmd. methods: this was a cross-sectional study in 471 healthy caucasian women, aged 18-67 years. bmd, lm, ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: the purpose of this study is to determine sensitivity and specificity of body mass index (bmi) based on center for disease control 2000 (cdc) percentiles compared to fat mass index (fmi) as an indicator of being really obese in children. obesity was compared based on these two indexes among children under study. materials and methods: th...

purpose accurate measurement or prediction of fat mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. most predictive equations currently used to assess percentage of body fat or fat mass, using simple anthropometric measurements were derived from people in western societies and they may not be appropriate for individuals with other genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. we develo...
