data on body weight and body measurements (body length, height at withers, chest girth and paunch girth) of adult kilakarsal sheep have been collected from 124 adult animals managed at the farmers filed in tirunelveli districts of tami nadu, india to estimate the body weight from body measurements. the data were subjected to standard statistical analysis using spss software and linear regressio...

conclusions based on these data, we can argue that circulating glucose concentration is not directly affected by serum resistin in t2dm. it seems that resistin affects glucose indirectly, through insulin resistance. results we found that serum resistin had a positive significant correlation with insulin resistance (p = 0.000, r = 0.64). no significant correlation was found between serum resisti...

conclusions alterations in consumption of whole grains, vegetables, and added sugars are associated with body weight change, suggesting that it could be helpful in weight control. results in men, weight loss was significantly predicted only by decreased intake of added sugars (or: 2.21, 95% ci: 1.06-4.63). in women, weight gain was significantly predicted by decreased intake of whole grains (or...

HEALTH ISSUE: Body weight is of physical and psychological importance to Canadian women; it is associated with health status, physical activity, body image, and self-esteem. Although the problems associated with overweight and obesity are indeed serious, there are also problems connected to being underweight. Weight prejudice and the dieting industry intensify body image concerns for Canadian w...

OBJECTIVE We investigated associations between changes in national food energy supply and in average population body weight. METHODS We collected data from 24 high-, 27 middle- and 18 low-income countries on the average measured body weight from global databases, national health and nutrition survey reports and peer-reviewed papers. Changes in average body weight were derived from study pairs...

Body composition in older adults can be assessed using simple, convenient but less precise anthropometric methods to assess (regional) body fat and skeletal muscle, or more elaborate, precise and costly methods such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Body weight and body fat percentage generally increase with aging due to an accumulation of body fat and a decline in skeletal...

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of diets containing some hot and coldtemperament herb seeds according to Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) on some metabolicparameters in acute (24 h) and sub-acute (7 day) experiments that were performed on rats. Foreach experiment, effects of diets containing 10% herb seeds in category of hot (anise, fennel,ajowan) and cold (cucumber, watermelon, ...

a camel research station was established in 1990 at the central desert land of iran named kavir-e-loot, to evaluate productivity performance of one humped camel. the data consisted of birth weights (bw), three (w3), six (w6), nine (w9) months and yearling (w12) body weight of animals and the pedigree was registered during a period of 14 years since 1991 to 2004. the body weight traits of birth,...

the objectives of this study were to identify a suitable mathematical model for describing the growth curve of baluchi sheep based on monthly records of live weight from birth to yearling; and to evaluate the efficacies of nonlinear mixed effect model (nlmm) and the nonlinear fixed effect model (nlm) methodologies. growth models were fitted to a total of 16,650 weight–age data belonging to 2071...

background: obesity is an important and life-threatening disease, associated with different chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. we sought to address the paucity of information on the trends of anthropometric indices such as weight, waist circumference, and body mass index in the adult population of iran. methods: we drew upon data from the first non-co...
