Download or read book BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT BY A BIOIMPEDANCE SCALE IS A BETTER ROUTINE MEASUREMENT OF BODY ADIPOSITY THAN BODY MASS INDEX written by Avivit Brener and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and aims: Body mass index (BMI) is a standard measure of weight in children and adolescents, but it is not a direct measure of adiposity. It may overestimate fatness in children who have high muscle mass or underestimate fatness in children who have low muscle mass. In 2018, our Endocrinology Unit implemented a bioimpedance scale as part of the routine anthropometric growth and nutrition assessment. We aimed to investigate the association between BMI and body composition. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Patients 5-19 years of age were assessed using the Tanita Body-Composition Analyzer (Tanita MC-780 MA) (Figure 1). Outcome measures: BMI-SDS, body-fat (BF%) categories (healthy/obese/over-fat/under-fat).Results: Our cohort was comprised of 318 patients (47% males), mean age 12.8u00b13.4 years. BMI overestimated and underestimated body adiposity in boys and girls (0.6% and 43%; 1.2% and 30.3%, respectively). Distribution of weight-status differed between BMI-SDS and BF% (in boys: 69% healthy, 11.5% obese, 12.8% overweight, 6.7% underweight versus 49.3% healthy, 33.8% obese, 15.5% over-fat, 1.4% under-fat, P

Download or read book Body Mass Index written by Linda A. Ferrera and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal guidelines on the identification, evaluation, and treatment of overweight and obesity in adults have defined 'overweight' as a body mass index value between 25 and 29.9; and 'obesity' as a body mass index value greater than or equal to 30. BMI is a ratio between weight and height. It is a mathematical formula that correlates with body fat, used to evaluate if a person is at an unhealthy weight (given a certain height). BMI value is more useful for predicting health risks than the weight alone (for adults ages 18 and up). Individuals with high BMI's are at increased risk of developing certain diseases, including: Hypertension, Cardiovascular Disease, Dyslipidemia, Adult-Onset Diabetes (Type II), Sleep Apnea, Osteoarthritis, Female Infertility, and other Conditions, including: idiopathic intracranial hypertension lower extremity venous stasis disease, gastroesophageal reflux and urinary stress incontinence. This new book gathers research from around the world in the critical field of obesity research and its effects.

Book excerpt: Our bodies are alkaline by design but acidic by function. Metabolic acidosis, a silent saboteur, occurs when our bodies acidity level rise, resulting in the breakdown of metabolically active bone and muscle. Left uncontrolled, the acids produced by life's processes wreak havoc on all of our hormones, leaving our bodies in a state of dysfunction and ultimately disease. Metabolic acidosis not only results from life's processes - stress, disease, and physical activity, but is also caused by diet. It can also be prevented by diet, and The Kick Acid Diet will show you how! Dr. Alwyn Wong, will teach you how to prevent acidosis, improve your health, and lose fat. The Kick Acid Diet plan includes: assessing your own pH levels; controlling acidity through the consumption of alkaline foods; and a muscle-building, calorie burning workout program. If your metabolism is acidic, the Kick Acid Diet is for you!
