We present an easy proof that p–Hardy’s inequality implies uniform p–fatness of the boundary when p = n. The proof works also in metric space setting and demonstrates the self–improving phenomenon of the p–fatness. We also explore the relationship between p-fatness, pHardy inequality, and the uniform perfectness for all p ≥ 1, and demonstrate that in the Ahlfors Q-regular metric measure space s...

OBJECTIVE To compare the sensitivity and specificity of body mass index (BMI)-based classification systems and to determine the optimal cut-offs for predicting excess body fatness in schoolchildren. METHODS 2795 schoolchildren aged 7 - 10 years were examined. Excess body fatness was defined as the standardized residuals of the sum of three skinfold thickness ranking at or above the 90th perce...

BACKGROUND The main aim of the study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between objectively measured physical activity (PA) and body fatness in 7-12-year-old children. METHODS We performed an analysis of 365 children (209 girls). Participant recruitment was performed in eight randomly selected elementary schools in cities and towns with various numbers of inhabitants. The body co...

Energy expenditure (EE) was measured at specific steady-state work rates to determine if body fat percentage or gender was associated with exercise EE, substrate oxidation, or work efficiency. Body fat percentage (leaner vs. fatter men, 9-15% vs. 20-25% fat; leaner vs. fatter women, 16-24% vs. 32-48% fat) was not related to work efficiency or submaximal EE. Fatness affected substrate oxidation ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of combined cardiorespiratory fitness and waist-to-height ratio in the form of a fit-fat index on incident diabetes risk. Additionally, the independent predictive performance of cardiorespiratory fitness, waist-to-height ratio, and body mass index also were estimated and compared. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of 10,...

The decline of coral reefs and their fish has attracted worldwide attention. South China Sea is the important center reefs. Reef-fish a crucial component in reef ecosystem. However, studies on long-term variation biololgy are very lacking. To enhance our understanding biology Sea, we investigated changes some biological indicators three dominant fishes ( Lutjanus kasmira , Gnathodentex aureolin...

This study examined the effect of anti-fat attitude counter-conditioning using positive images of obese individuals participants completed implicit and explicit measures of attitudes towards fatness on three occasions: no intervention; following exposure to positive images of obese members of the general public; and to images of obese celebrities. Contrary to expectations, positive images of ob...

BACKGROUND Racial/ethnic disparities in the associations of body fatness with hormones and metabolic factors remain poorly understood. Therefore, we evaluated whether the associations of overall and central body fatness with circulating sex steroid hormones and metabolic factors differ by race/ethnicity. METHODS Data from 1,243 non-Hispanic white (NHW), non-Hispanic black (NHB) and Mexican-Am...

Uncovering the phylogenetic composition of microbial community and the potential functional capacity of microbiome in different gut locations is of great importance to pig production. Here we performed a comparative analysis of gut microbiota and metagenomics among jejunum, ileum and cecum in pigs with distinct fatness. 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed dramatic differences of microbial composi...
