Quantitative prediction of body diameter in severely obese individuals.
The prevalence of obesity and severe obesity continues to increase in the developed world. Apart from obesity's strong association with a variety of health conditions, severely obese individuals (i.e. > or = 300 lb [136 kg]) sometimes have difficulty with ambulation, and often cannot use regular sized clothes, furniture, and assistive devices such as walkers and wheelchairs. The purpose of this...
متن کاملBody adiposity index performance in estimating body fat in a sample of severely obese Brazilian patients
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The body adiposity index (BAI) estimates the amount of body fat (BF) in humans. In Mexican-American and African-American populations, BAI has performed better than body mass index (BMI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of BAI in estimating percentage (BF%) in severely obese Brazilian patients, with air displacement plethysmography (ADP) used as the re...
متن کاملCorrelation between Body Mass Index, Body Fat Proportion and Leptin Level in Obese Children
Obesity is a disorder of the nutritional status characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in the subcutaneous tissue and / or other tissues as a result of energy imbalance. 1 Leptin, the most important anorexigenic hormone is secreted by the adipose tissue, acts directly on the satiety and hunger center localized in the anterior hypothalamus and arcuate nucleus. 2 Body mass index (BMI) is ...
متن کاملEffect of islamic fasting on glucose, lipid profiles and Body Mass Index, adiponectin and leptin in obese individuals
Introduction: Fasting is an Islamic practice, which causes various metabolic changes in fasting individuals. Numerous studies have examined different aspects of fasting, but its effect on individuals with different characteristics such as obesity has remained unknown. The impact of fasting on adipose tissue hormones such as leptin and adiponectin is still controversial. In this study, we aimed ...
متن کاملNew body fat prediction equations for severely obese patients.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Severe obesity imposes physical limitations to body composition assessment. Our aim was to compare body fat (BF) estimations of severely obese patients obtained by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) for development of new equations for BF prediction. METHODS Severely obese subjects (83 female/36 male, mean age=41.6+/-11.6 years) had BF e...
