Body fat and fat‐free mass normalization by height

Normalization of height and excess body fat in children with salt-wasting 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate growth and body composition of patients with the salt wasting form of classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and to compare them with healthy children. METHODS Twenty-one prepubertal patients (eight boys and 13 girls) between 2.1 and 10.2 years and 67 prepubertal healthy controls (36 boys and 31 girls) between 1.2 and 11.7 years were in...

Body fat and fatfree mass measured by bioimpedance spectroscopy and dual 1 energy x - ray absorptiometry in obese and non - obese adults

the effect of body fat mass and fat free mass on migraine headache.

background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...

Estimation bias: body mass and body height in endurance athletes.

Body Mass Index is associated with endurance performance in athletes. Reported and measured values of body mass and body height in 1,618 endurance athletes (1,358 men, 260 women) showed that men and women both underestimated their body mass and overestimated their body height, leading to an underestimation of Body Mass Index. There were age and sex differences in estimates of height and weight;...

Factors that alter body fat, body mass, and fat-free mass in pediatric obesity.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of exercise treatment programs on changes in body mass, fat-free mass, and body fat in obese children and adolescents. METHODS By using the meta-analytic approach, studies that met the following criteria were included in our analyses: 1) at least six subjects per group; 2) subject groups consisting of children in the 5- to 17-yr ag...
