Altered body composition in preterm infants is associated with risks to cognitive development, but the effect specific to prefrontal cortex (PFC) development is unknown. We were interested in the impa...
The choices of food products and their nutritional value have a significant impact on nutritional status and body composition parameters. Popular and low-cost indicators of nutritional status, such as...
Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in individuals with non-small cell lung cancer. Key features of CAC include alterations in body composition and body ...
To analyze the prediction models of fat-free mass and fat mass of neonates who had air displacement plethysmography as a reference test....
A systematic review of studies identified in the PubMed, Virtual Health Library (BVS), SciELO, and ScienceDirect databases was carried out. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Met...
This study is registered in PROSPERO with identification CRD42020175048. Five hundred and three studies were found during the searches, and only four papers (six models) were eligible. Most studies (t...
The few studies found on this topic had numerous methodological differences. However, the subscapular skinfold was a strong predictor of neonatal body fat in three studies. It is noteworthy that such ...
We determined associations between adipokines and abnormal body composition in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)....
Combining data from three RA cohorts, whole-body dual-energy absorptiometry measures of appendicular lean mass and fat mass indices were converted to age-, sex-, and race- and ethnicity-specific Z sco...
Among 419 participants, older age was associated with higher levels of all adipokines, whereas higher C-reactive protein level was associated with lower adiponectin levels and higher FGF-21 levels. Gr...
Adipokines are associated with both excess adiposity and low lean mass in patients with RA. Improvements in the prediction of body composition abnormalities suggest that laboratory screening could hel...
Background: Given the potential risk of unhealthy weight management, the monitoring of body composition in athletes is advised. However, limited data reveal how body composition measurements can benef...
Phenylketonuria is a hereditary metabolic disorder characterized by a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase. The main treatment for PKU is a phenylalanine-restricted diet. The exclusion of protein r...
The study group comprised 37 PKU patients and 26 healthy siblings as controls. The participants were assessed based on an analysis of anthropometric parameters, body composition, and biochemical test ...
PKU patients do not have a higher incidence of overweight and obesity than healthy controls, the proportion of energy derived from carbohydrates in their diets was below the recommended level, and the...
In view of the growing prevalence of overweight in the general population, PKU patients should be kept under close long-term follow-up. Particularly in the group with low treatment compliance, more ca...
Nutrition plays an important role in improving sports performance. The present study aimed at nutritional assessment and examined the relationship between athletic performance and body composition in ...
Wasting in cancer patients has long been recognized as a condition that adversely affects cancer patients' quality of life, treatment tolerance, and oncological outcomes. Historically, this condition ...
Normative infant body composition data using air displacement plethysmography (ADP) are from primarily Caucasian populations. Racial differences may exist....
To describe body composition in Asian and Pacific Islander infants and compare them to previously published data on Caucasian infants....
Body composition was measured using ADP with the PEA POD® Infant Body Composition System in 249 healthy full-term newborns in a predominately Asian and Pacific Islander population in Hawaii within the...
There were no differences in percent body fat between Asian, Pacific Islander, or mixed race Asian Pacific Islander infants. Both Asian and Pacific Islander infants had significantly higher percent bo...
Racial and geographical differences in body composition exist at birth between Asian and Pacific Islanders and other Caucasian cohorts. Previously published ADP nomograms must be interpreted with caut...
