Psychosocial predictors of visceral adiposity
… model in order to predict changes in visceral adiposity from baseline to 12 months. The model was significant in predicting visceral fat, accounting for 16.9% of the variance. Further examination of the model indicated the presence of a significant 3-way interaction between arousal, stress and …

Diet, Adiposity, and Advanced Glycation Endproducts
… the hypothesis that sRAGE is correlated to adiposity in a young, ethnically-diverse population. Seventy-two healthy adult participants were recruited for the study and anthropometric measurements were collected. Sera from all participants were analyzed for sRAGE and CML. In addition, in a …

The Inflammatory Consequences of Stress and Adiposity
… The data also suggest an interaction between the adiposity variables and the SES variables. This supports the hypothesis that the inflammatory effect of stress on an individual is moderated by adiposity.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ILLNESS AND ADIPOSITY IN CHILDHOOD
… concerning an association between illness and adiposity in childhood. The first theory posits that increased illness is the result of high adiposity. The second theory, "infectobesity", posits that increased adiposity is virus-induced. Although an association between infection and nutrition is …

Adiposity measures and risk of cardiovascular disease
… 12 studies with concomitant information on these adiposity measures enabled quantification of within-person variability in BMI, WC and WHR. Results: Cross-sectional analyses demonstrated that although the correlations of adiposity measures differed with one another, BMI, WC and WHR were similarly …

Neighbourhood deprivation and adult adiposity in South Africa
… decades there has been a significant increase in adiposity - prevalence of accumulation of excess fat around some human organs - globally. This has been characterised by an increase of body mass index (BMI) among men and women. In Sub-Sahara Africa, South Africa has one of the highest prevalence …

Implication of European-derived adiposity loci in African Americans
Obesity is a major public health problem, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality and heavy economic burdens on health-care systems. In the United States, the financial consequence is considerable. A great deal of effort has been dedicated to research with the goal of understanding factors …

Adiposity in British secondary school children: a population based study
Summary:<br/>Adiposity is defined as the property of containing fat. Excessive adiposity is a cause of both morbidity and mortality in adults. Important consequences include increased risks of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, (particularly through the increased risks of high …

Comparing Anthropometric Methods To Quantify Relations Between Adiposity And Headache
… studies have relied on bmi as an indicator of adiposity. More accurate anthropometric measures that distinguish adipose tissue from other body tissue are critical to examine adiposity-headache associations, including validated measures of abdominal adiposity and established measurement formulas …

Diet and media components related to central adiposity in prepubertal children
… fat mass. Abdominal adipose tissue (central adiposity) in children has been previously correlated with higher plasma lipids, elevated blood pressure, and insulin resistance (Daniels et al., 1999; Morrison et al., 1999; Krekoukia, 2007). Furthermore, children above the recommended values for …

Investigation of Adiposity Phenotypes in AA Associated With GALNT10 & Related Pathway Genes
The overall goal of this project is to verify previous findings in the GALNT10 region and to expand our knowledge of this locus via genomic association studies in obesity-related traits, comparison to expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data, and a mouse knockout model, in addition to …
