How a Lifestyle Intervention Affects Physical Activity and Body Composition in Taiwanese Overweight Women
Endocrinology | BMI, BFM, PBF | Liarn-Rurng Wen et al. | 2017 | Taiwan | Journal of Sports and Physical Education
Background: Previous studies have reported that an increased amount of physical activity (PA) can reduce obesity and hence decrease the risk of chronic diseases. However, few numbers of researches used accelerometers to investigate the association between free-living PA and health promotion. In this study, accelerometers were used to investigate how a 6-week lifestyle intervention affects PA and body composition in overweight women. Methods: Fifteen overweight women (mean age: 46.1±10.3 years) in the community …
Metabolic health is a more important determinant for diabetes development than simple obesity: a 4-year retrospective longitudi
Endocrinology | FFM, SMI, BFM, PBF | Eun-Jung Rhee | 2014 | Korea | PLoS One
Background Recent studies report the importance of metabolic health beyond obesity. The aim of this study is to compare the risk for diabetes development according to different status of metabolic health and obesity over a median follow-up of 48.7 months. Methods 6,748 non-diabetic subjects (mean age 43 years) were divided into four groups according to the baseline metabolic health and obesity status: metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO), metabolically healthy obese (MHO), metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUHNO) and …
A longitudinal study of association between adiposity markers and intraocular pressure: the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study
Endocrinology | PBF | Zhao D et al. | 2016 | USA | PLoS One
Importance Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction or stabilization is the only proven method for glaucoma management. Identifying risk factors for IOP is crucial to understand the pathophysiology of glaucoma. Objective To examine the associations of change in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and percent fat mass with change in intraocular pressure (IOP) in a large sample of Korean adults. Design, setting and participants Cohort study of 274,064 young and middle age Korean adults with normal fundoscopic findings …
Effects of exercise using a mobile device on cardiopulmonary function, metabolic risk factors, and self-efficacy in obese women
Endocrinology | PBF | Kim DY | 2018 | Korea | Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 12-week walking exercise using a mobile device on cardiopulmonary function, metabolic risk factors, and self-efficacy in obese middle-aged women. For this study, 14 middle-aged subjects with obesity were included and performed walking exercise of 50%–60% maximum oxygen uptake intensity 3 times a week for 12 weeks. As a result, weight,% body fat, body mass index, and waist circumference significantly reduced. In addition, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood …
Overestimation of glomerular filtration rate calculated from serum creatinine as compared with cystatin C in patients with subc
Endocrinology | SMI | Naka et al. | 2020 | Japan | Endocrine Journal
The skeletal muscle mass are decreased in the patients with hypercortisolism. Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is not accurately evaluated by calculation from serum creatinine (eGFRcre) in these patients. However, it is not known whether it applies to patients with subclinical hypercortisolism. We investigated the dissociation between eGFRcre and eGFR calculated from cystatin C (eGFRcys) in patients with subclinical hypercortisolism and its association with the skeletal muscle mass. This cross-sectional study includes 23 patients …
