Examining relationships of taste sensitivity and body fat percentage using body adiposity index
<p>Body fat and taste sensitivity have been explored with mixed results. Generally, studies have used Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of obesity. This research study explores the relations between body fat percentage using a fairly new measure, Body Adiposity Index (BAI; Bergman et al., …

Physical Activity and C-reactive Protein Levels: The Confounding Role of Body Fat Percentage
… objective was to determine the extent to which body fat percentage operated as a confounder in the association between physical activity and CRP. Physical activity was objectively measured using MTI accelerometers, which the subjects wore for seven continuous days. Fasting blood samples were …

Functional validation of human rare missense variants associated with body fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk
Body fat distribution is a predictor of metabolic and cardiovascular disease independent of body mass index (BMI) and is heritable. To understand the genetic determinants of the differences observed in fat distribution in the general population, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged …
