results mean (sd) age of the patients was 57.6 (11.6) years. the average (sd) calorie and protein intake per day were 25.5 (4.6) kcal and 0.81 (0.2) mg, respectively. the mean and standard deviation of anthropometry variables of body mass index (bmi), mid-arm circumference (mac), tricipital skin-fold thickness (tst), mid-arm muscle circumference (mamc), and corrected mid-arm muscle area (cmama)...

Ellis, Kenneth J., and William W. Wong. Human hydrometry: comparison of multifrequency bioelectrical impedance with H2O and bromine dilution. J. Appl. Physiol. 85(3): 1056–1062, 1998.—The traditional method of assessing total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW) has been the use of isotopes, on the basis of the dilution principle. Although the development o...

OBJECTIVE The analysis of body composition is a fundamental part of nutritional status assessment. The objective of this study was to establish body fat percentiles by bioelectrical impedance in children and adolescents from Bogotá (Colombia) who were part of the FUPRECOL study (Asociación de la Fuerza Prensil con Manifestaciones Tempranas de Riesgo Cardiovascular en Niños y Adolescentes Colomb...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between serum concentrations of complement factor-3 (C3) with anthropometric, biochemical, and lifestyle features in healthy young adults. METHODS From 157 young healthy adults 18 to 35 y old, anthropometric measurements and body composition, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and lifestyle data were collected and analyzed. Blood samples were collect...

OBJECTIVE To correlate anthropometric data and respiratory muscle strength (RMS) of normal-weight and obese women. METHODS The sample consisted of 103 sedentary women, divided into two groups: 57 obese and 46 normal-weight women. Waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were measured to calculate the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and maximal respiratory pressures (Pmax) were determined...

To evaluate the relationship between measures of body composition in obese adolescents by the methods of bioelectrical impedance analysis, deuterium oxide dilution and anthropometric measures, proposing an equation. The variables were weight, height, BMI, triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, waist and arm muscle circumference, lean body mass, fat mass and total body water by bioelectrica...

CONTEXT Malnutrition in cirrhotic patients with end-stage disease is common, and the degree of nutritional debilitation can play an important role in the pathogenesis of complications and cause a negative impact on prognosis. However, it involves difficulties and controversies regarding the identification of the best nutritional assessment method. OBJECTIVE To identify a method that provides ...
