the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of combined station training on the adiponectin and hs-crp in overweight women. 22 overweight women (mean ± sd, age 26.04±4.43 years; weight 73.10±6.56 kg; body mass index 29.35±2.53) were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into control (n=11) and combined station training (n=11) groups. the subjects of combined station training...

BACKGROUND Few studies have examined dietary data or objective measures of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior among metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO). Thus, the purpose is to determine whether PA, sedentary behavior and/or diet differ between MHO and MUO in a sample of young women. METHODS Forty-six overweight/obese (BMI...

Background: Sedentary people who were not actively participating in sports have demonstrated significantly lower HSG compared to physically active that involved regular activity such as cricket, hockey, tennis, basketball, handball, etc. Therefore, HGS can be used indicate the sedentary nature of a population, and it would help predict their potential risk developing non-communicable diseases M...

BACKGROUND Several studies indicate that dietary pattern and leisure time activities of adults not only differ between sexes but also between overweight and normal weight individuals. The aim of the present study was to determine if sex-specific differences in dietary pattern and leisure time activity already exist and are associated with weight status in young childhood. METHODS Nutritional ...

This study investigated the associations between total and domain-specific sedentary time with the risk of overweight in older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted by administering computer-assisted telephone interviews to 1046 Taiwanese older adults (aged ≥65 years) residing in two regions in Taiwan in 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to exami...

This article describes the prevalence of risk and protective factors for chronic non-communicable diseases in Brazil, using data collected in 2007 through the telephone disease surveillance system (VIGITEL). We evaluated 54,252 adults residing in Brazil's State capitals and Federal District. Men showed higher rates of smoking, overweight, consumption of soft drinks and fatty meat, sufficient le...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of aging and physical activity on distribution patterns in subcutaneous and visceral fat. METHODS Distributions of subcutaneous rat mass at six segments (face and neck, forearm, upper arm, trunk, thigh, and lower leg) were determined by adipose tissue thickness measurements by B mode ultrasonogram and body surface areas. Visceral fat mass was calculated by sub...
