Endocrinology | BW, BMI, Appendicular FFM, SMM, BFM, PBF | Hidetaka Hamasaki | 2017 | Japan | Diabetes Research
Aim. To investigate the association of skeletal muscle mass with metabolic parameters and hospitalization in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods. A retrospective observational study was conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes between May 2013 and November 2015. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the association between skeletal muscle mass and metabolic parameters. Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to assess the …
Decreased the creatinine to cystatin C ratio is a surrogate marker of sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes
Endocrinology | SMM, SMI, Segmental FFM, PBF | T Osaka et al | 2018 | Japan | Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice
Aims Sarcopenia has recently been shown to affect quality of life and mortality in patients with diabetes. However, early detection requires an expensive equipment. We hypothesized that the ratio of the creatinine/cystatin (Cre/CysC) could be used as a marker for sarcopenia. Methods We investigated the association between the Cre/CysC ratio and sarcopenia in a cross-sectional study of patients with type 2 diabetes. Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was estimated by bioelectrical impedance. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was defined as the …
Amelioration of fatty liver index in patients with type 2 diabetes on ipragliflozin: an association with glucose-lowering effec
Endocrinology | BFM | Takase T et al. | 2016 | Japan | Endocrine Journal
NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic
liver disease in the both Western and oriental countries [1, 2]. NAFLD and type 2 diabetes frequently
coex- ist, sharing pathogenetic requisites such as obesity, insulin resistance. Indeed, NAFLD
is highly prevalent (49.6–74%) among patients with type 2 diabetes [3]. Moreover, the presence
of type 2 diabetes is a risk fac- tor not only for the development of nonalcoholic ste- atohepatitis
(NASH), but also for the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with …
Heart rate variability responses to a combined exercise training program: correlation with adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitn
Endocrinology | BW, FFM, BFM, PBF | Phoemsapthawee J, et al. | 2019 | Thailand | Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation
Although the influence of adiposity indices and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on heart rate variability (HRV) has been demonstrated extensively, the causal link between the changes in adiposity as well as in CRF and the alterations in cardiac autonomic function is unclear. Thus, this study aimed to assess the correlation between the changes in adiposity and CRF and the alterations in HRV after 12-week exercise training. Twenty obese sedentary men aged 20.5±1.2 years were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n= 10 each): the control (CG) …
The relationship between hypovitaminosis D and metabolic syndrome: a cross sectional study among employees of a private univers
Endocrinology | BW, PBF | Ghadieh et al | 2018 | Lebanon | BMC Nutrition
The prevalence of low vitamin D status and metabolic syndrome is increasing globally and in Lebanon. The objectives of this study are to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components (elevated triglycerides, low HDL, abdominal obesity defined by high waist circumference, hypertension, impaired fasting blood glucose) and investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) concentrations and MetS and its components among a sample of Lebanese adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out …
Impact of short-term continuous and interval exercise training on endothelial function and glucose metabolism in prediabetes
Endocrinology | BFM, FFM | Malin et al. | 2019 | USA | Journal of Diabetes Research
Introduction. The impact of interval (INT) vs. continuous (CONT) exercise training on endothelial function in relation to glucose metabolism prior to clinically meaningful weight loss is unknown in adults with prediabetes. Methods. Twenty-six subjects with prediabetes (y; kg/m 2; 2-hr-PG OGTT: mg/dl) were randomized to 60 min of CONT (; 70% of HR peak) or work-matched INT exercise training (; alternating 3 min at 90 and 50% HR peak) for 2 weeks. Aerobic fitness (VO 2peak) and body composition (bioelectrical impedance) were …
Structural equation model analysis for the evaluation of factors associated with overweight and obesity in menopausal women in
Endocrinology | VFA, WHR, PBF, SMM, SLM, FMI | Darbandi et al. | 2020 | Iran | Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society
Objective: Weight gain and increased body fat mass are among the common complications of menopause. In addition to hormonal changes, behavioral and environmental factors aggravate transition through this phase. This study uses a structural equation model (SEM) to evaluate factors associated with overweight and obesity in menopausal women. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 4,471 women (pre/perimenopausal 3,150, menopausal 1,321) from baseline data of the Ravansar Non-Communicable Disease (RaNCD) cohort …

Obesity alters the in vivo mechanical response and biochemical properties of cartilage as measured by MRI
Endocrinology | BW, PBF | Collins et al | 2018 | USA | Arthritis Research & Therapy
Obesity is a primary risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, there remains a lack of in vivo data on the influence of obesity on knee cartilage mechanics and composition. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between obesity and tibiofemoral cartilage properties. Magnetic resonance images (3T) of cartilage geometry (double-echo steady-state) and T1rho relaxation of the knee were obtained in healthy subjects with a normal (n= 8) or high (n= 7) body mass index (BMI) before and …
TG: HDL-C ratio is a good marker to identify children affected by obesity with increased cardiometabolic risk and insulin resis
Endocrinology | BMI, PBF | Iwani et al. | 2019 | Malaysia | International Journal of Endocrinology
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important predictor of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. This study aims to examine the clinical utility of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio (TG: HDL-C) in identifying cardiometabolic risk and insulin resistance (IR) among children with obesity, in comparison with MetS as defined by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Data of 232 children with obesity aged 10–16 years were obtained from our study, MyBFF@ school study, conducted between January and December …
