Waist circumference to height ratio: better correlation with fat mass than other anthropometric indices during dietary weight l
Endocrinology | TBW, FFM, BFM, Segmental FM | Ashtary-LarkyD et al. | 2018 | Iran | International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Background The first-line strategy for the treatment of obesity is weight loss (WL) through decreasing calorie intake. However, a diet that is capable of attenuating fat free mass decline following WL is preferred. Furthermore, it is required to choose proper measurements and appropriate obesity-assessment indices to monitor weight and body composition during WL program. Methods A total of 68 adults with overweight and/or obesity underwent a WL program (rapid and slow WL). Dependent variables include: weight, resting …
Multidisciplinary obesity treatment program improved health-related quality of life and positively correlated with anthropometr
Endocrinology | BW, FFM, BFM | NCB Garcia et al. | 2019 | Brazil | Quality of Life Research
Purpose The aim of the present study was to verify the effects of a 16-week multidisciplinary obesity treatment program (MOTP) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents with weight excess. In addition, we verified a possible association between changes on HRQoL and anthropometric, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) parameters. Methods Two hundred four adolescents aged from 15 to 18 years were distributed in control group (CG) and intervention group (IG). They underwent a 16-week …
Phase angle associated with different indicators of health-related physical fitness in adults with obesity
Endocrinology | Phase angle, PBF | Ribeiro Streb et al. | 2020 | Brazil | Physiology & Behavior
In obese populations, the exacerbated increase in adipose tissue results in a significant reduction of health-related physical fitness and can affect the phase angle (PhA), a promising health indicator of cell health and integrity. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of PhA with health-related physical fitness indicators in obese adults. This cross-sectional study had a non-probabilistic sample and was conducted from April to June 2018. The PhA was obtained by a bioelectrical impedance analysis, and the health-related …
Fitness and physical activity in youth with type 1 diabetes mellitus in good or poor glycemic control
Endocrinology | FFM, BFM | Nguyen T et al. | 2014 | Canada | Pediatric Diabetes
Background Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may experience poor muscle health as a result of chronic hyperglycemia. Despite this, muscle function in children with T1DM with good or poor glycemic control has yet to be examined in detail. Objective To assess differences in muscle‐related fitness variables in children with T1DM with good glycemic control (T1DM‐G), as well as those with poor glycemic control (T1DM‐P), and non‐diabetic, healthy controls. Subjects Eight children with T1DM‐G [glycosylated hemoglobin …
Effects of short‐term oral corticosteroid intake on dietary intake, body weight and body composition in adults with asthma–a ra
Endocrinology | ECW, ICW, PBF | Berthon BS et al. | 2015 | Australia | Clinical & Experimental Allergy
Background Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are an efficacious treatment for asthma exacerbations, yet risk of adverse effects may decrease patient adherence to therapy. In particular, changes in appetite and dietary intake, which lead to weight gain and changes in body composition, are considered undesirable. Objective To determine whether 10‐day OCS therapy in adults with asthma causes changes in leptin, appetite, dietary intake, body weight and body composition. Methods Double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled randomized …
Comparison of body composition and physical and cognitive function between older Japanese adults with no diabetes, prediabetes
Endocrinology | FFM, FM, PBF | Kera T et al. | 2018 | Japan | Geriatrics & Gerontology International
Aim Diabetes is associated with not only cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, but also reductions in physical and cognitive function. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether muscle strength, walking ability and balance declined in Japanese community‐dwelling older adults with diabetes or prediabetes. Methods We analyzed data from comprehensive health checkups carried out for 1689 individuals (710 men, 979 women; mean age 71.4±5.6 years) between 2011 and 2016. Participants were divided into …
Comparison of pancreatic volume and fat amount linked with glucose homeostasis between healthy Caucasians and Koreans
Endocrinology | FFM, FM, PBF | Roh E et al | 2018 | Korea | Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism
Aim To compare pancreatic volume and fat amount, and their associations with glucose homeostasis, in a Korean and a white population. Materials and methods In 43 healthy Korean and 43 healthy white people, matched for age (±3 years) and body mass index (BMI;±1 kg/m2), we measured pancreatic volume and fat amount in the pancreas and abdomen using computed tomography. Pancreatic β‐cell function and insulin resistance were estimated according to biochemical characteristics and a 75‐g oral glucose tolerance …
Effects of exercise intervention to improve body composition and chemerin in middle-aged overweight women
Endocrinology | PBF | M. Salesi and S. Gani | 2018 | Iran | Journal of Physical Activity and Hormones
Introduction: There is well documented evidence that obesity are serious worldwide public health problems which result an increased risk of developing diseases such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus and regular exercises can be effective in preventing and treating such diseases. Chemerin, is a recently identified adipose tissue secreted hormone that has been shown to be elevated in obese individuals and associated with some components of the metabolic syndrome, including: the waist circumference, body …
Twelve weeks of exercise modality in hypoxia enhances health‐related function in obese older Korean men: A randomized controlle
Endocrinology | BW, FFM, PBF | H-Y Park et al. | 2019 | Korea | Geriatrics & Gerontology International
Aim The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of exercise intervention in hypoxia as a novel treatment method for obesity in older men. Methods A total of 24 obese 65–70‐year‐old Korean men (66.5±0.8 years) were randomly assigned to undergo hypoxic training (n= 12) or normoxic training (n= 12), and all participants carried out an exercise intervention composed of aerobic exercise on a treadmill (30 min) and bicycle (30 min), and resistance exercise (30–40 min) in normoxia, and 3000‐m normobaric hypoxia separately …
