Blood pressure readings were collected from 1042 adult females of rural and urban Jat Sikh community of Punjab, a north Indian State. Anthropometric measurements like height, weight and skinfold thickness were also collected. The difference between rural and urban females in systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure was found to be statistically significant. All anthropometric variab...

b a ckground:  nutritional care is of special importance in the control of the rate of mortality among intensive care unit (icu) patients. therefore, anthropometric and biochemical assessment are important among icu patients. we intend to report the anthropometric and biochemical indices, as well as the energy intake among icu patients in isfahan, iran. m ethods : this descriptive study was car...

background: little is known about the effects of a low energy dense diet on weight maintenance and cardiovascular risks following a recent weight reduction. therefore, we assessed if weight maintenance, lipid profiles, and glycemic control differ between low energy density (led) diet and usual diet consumers following a recent weight reduction. materials and methods: in this randomized controll...

malnutrition and depression are highly prevalent in the elderly and can lead to unfavorable outcomes. the aims of the current study were to determine the association between malnutrition and depression and also to find any correlation of depression with some anthropometric indices in free living elderly.in this cross-sectional study, 337 elderly subjects (193 females) were selected using cluste...

background: breast milk is important for the overall well-being of infants. although lactation is relatively robust in the face of poor nutrition, the implication of poor nutrition on non-nutritive factors in breast milk is inconclusive. objective: this study was designed to find associations between nutritional and immune factors in maternal blood and breast milk with the aim to improve the ne...

background: consuming the preloads reduce energy intake within a meal, but no investigation has assessed the changes of body weight and cardiovascular (cvd) risks by consuming preload during a long term among overweight and obese subjects. methods: this randomized controlled parallel clinical trial conducted among 60 participants (25 men and 35 women) to consume a low-calorie diet with similar ...

Background Due to the large number of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients, our aim was investigate applicability artificial intelligence (AI) in preliminary screening, based on simple anthropometric, demographic and questionnaire parameters. Methods Based results polysomnography performed, 100 patients study were grouped as follows: non-OSA, mild OSA moderately severe–severe OSA...

Nearly all biological or physiological functions are in some way related to one or other aspects of morphology. The morphometric variables of human body can be measured by the fundamental techniques of anthropometry. To be more specific, biological anthropology is substantially enriched due to the contribution relating to application of anthropometry made by a number of scientific workers in th...

Anthropometric indices are presented for representative samples of elderly people in South Wales, based on over 1500 subjects seen during community surveys. Body mass index declined with age after 70 years in both men and women. Estimates of fat and muscle volume based on upper arm measurements also showed a decline with age, which was particularly steep for triceps skinfold thickness in women....
