The relationship between maternal pre-pregnancy fat mass and exercise during pregnancy, on infant fat mass outcomes
Not long ago in Obstetrics it was concerning to providers for women to participate in even light exercise. Research has come a long way to prove that exercise is not only not harmful, but actually beneficial for women at every stage of their pregnancy. In even more recent years and continued …

Total, abdominal, and hip fat mass and markers for coronary heart disease in pre and postmenopausal obese women
… relationship between total, abdominal, and hip fat mass and serum markers for CHD in pre and postmenopausal obese women. Participants included non-smoking, sedentary and obese premenopausal women (n = 19) and postmenopausal women (n = 13). Resting blood samples were previously collected and …

A longitudinal study of fat mass accrual from adolescence through to emerging adulthood and its impact on cardiometabolic risk later in life
… and that there is a period in adulthood when fat mass (FM) increases. Emerging adulthood (EA; 18-25 years) has been identified as a potential critical period when FM accrues, the degree to which is potentially influenced by childhood and adolescence FM accrual. EA is also a period which favors …

The Influence of Stride Length, Knee Stiffness, and Leg Strength on the Associations Between Bone Mineral Density, Lean and Fat Mass, and Knee Joint Compressive Forces Among Older Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis
… (OA) exhibit a specific phenotype of high fat mass and bone mineral density (BMD) that is associated with increased knee forces and disease progression. Whether this relationship is mediated by biomechanical factors has not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to …

Determinants of body composition changes over 5.5 years and the associated cardio-metabolic risk factors in free-living black South African women
… in body weight, body composition and body fat distribution over 5.5-years in relation to changes in cardio-metabolic risk factors; Chapter 2: To examine the modifiable and non-modifiable determinants of the changes in body weight and body fat distribution over the follow-up period. A …

Body composition in elderly and its features in persons with sarcopenia /
… composition is changing with age: the lean body mass – first of all the skeletal muscle mass and later the bone mineral content – reduces and the fat mass increases, also the regional re-distribution of fat mass occurs. The combination of low muscle mass and low muscle strength or physical …

Decelerated early growth in infants of overweight and obese mothers
… of age. Anthropometrics and body composition (fat mass, fat-free mass, and body fat percent) via air-displacement plethysmography were measured. Infant feeding information was collected. Maternal pre-pregnancy weight was collected via self-report and pregnancy glucose load results were obtained …

Correlation of Osteoporosis and Obesity
… States. Obesity is a condition of excess body fat that exacerbates several major public health problems. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass. The relationship between obesity and osteoporosis has long been investigated. It is a widely held dogma that …

The Effects of the Mad Dog Diet on Bowel Function, Body Composition, Neuropathic Pain, and Depression in a Spinal Cord Injury and Multiple Sclerosis Population
… with a significant reduction in total body mass (p=0.006), lean mass (p=0.046) and fat mass (p=0.038). Despite the significant reduction in fat mass, there were no significant changes in subcutaneous fat mass (p=0.091), or visceral mass (p=0.33), which suggests that the study was …

The Relationship between Resting Metabolic Rate and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Obesity
… by indirect calorimetry. RESULTS: As body mass index(BMI) increased, hs-CRP got higher(p=0.004). But, RMR per kilogram(p<0.000) decreased as BMI increased. RMR had significant correlation to height(p=0.041), weight(p<0.000), fat free mass(p=0.001), BMI(p=0.003) and fat mass(p= 0.004). Both …

The relationship between lower limb power and anthropometric characteristics and gymnastics success
… thigh and leg length taken. A DXA scan measured fat mass and lean mass. Vault success was measured using the highest vault score of the season as well as a standard vault in which the distance was measured. A regression analysis was performed and no significant results were found. Circumference …

Correlations between Body Composition Components and Bone Mineral Content in Untrained Young Men and Women
… in humans. Research is divided as to whether fat or lean mass plays a more significant role in the development of bone mass. Physical activity has also been shown to increase bone mineral content in adolescents and combat the loss of bone density with aging. The purpose of this study was to …

Physical Function and Body Composition in Obese Women in a Clinical Weight Loss Program
… and negatively correlated with body fat mass assessments, but was not correlated with fat free mass. 1-repetition maximum leg press was significantly and negatively associated with fat mass (%)(r=-0.552, p=0.033) and was significantly and positively correlated with VO2peak (r=0.680, …

Relationships Between Serum Leptin and Bone Mineral with Eating Restraint or Weight Loss
High body weight seems protective of bone mass, specifically bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD), thereby reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Cognitive eating restraint (CER), diet composition, and the satiety hormone, leptin, produced by adipocytes, are associated with body …
