Contributors to processing speed deficit in old age: A focus on history of obesity and medical conditions
… cognitive impairment and current obesity and/or history of obesity-related medical conditions. However, a number of “lower-level” obesity factors (e.g., increased adipokines, low grade inflammation, chronic mild hypoventilation) are present even among the otherwise healthy obese population, and …

Food for thought: An examination of the relationship between binge eating and psychological variables in a diverse college-student population
… assessing depression, anxiety, body image, weight history, physical activity, smoking, and body mass index. Findings highlight sex and racial differences in the predictors of binge eating, with depression a common predictor across groups. Results suggest that approaches to preventing BE …

Predictive and reactive control mechanisms involved in object manipulation
… of the mechanical properties of objects (i.e. weight), as well as rapid corrective responses, initiated when we encounter perturbations that interfere with our movement goals. In this thesis, we looked to investigate some of the predictive and reactive mechanisms supporting manipulation in the …

Selected nutritional and biochemical characteristics of non-institutionalized rural elderly women living in Story City, Iowa
… collected by personal interview included medical history, drug usage, dietary information, height and weight history of 25 reference women (50-64 years), 28 "young-old" women (65-84 years) and 12 "old-old" women (85-92 years). Heights and weights were also measured. Fasting blood samples were …

Psychosocial and Behavioral Predictors of Energy Intake Plausibility and Weight Loss in Overweight Perimenopausal Women
… of this study population of baseline short-term weight loss predictors to evaluate within the full sample whether baseline psychosocial, behavioral and dietary predictors of weight loss varied by energy intake plausibility. Subjects were 155 overweight or obese perimenopausal women participating …

Long Term Weight Variability in Adults of Adventist Health Study 1 and 2
<p><strong>Background:</strong> The effect of overweight and obesity on the risk of fatal disease tends to attenuate with age. One plausible explanation is that a proportion of elderly people in the ideal weight category (19 to 25 kg/m ) experienced disease-related weight loss - an effect that will …

The nature of cachexia in patients with heart failure and stable coronary artery disease
… cardiac cachexia is loss of a percentage of body weight over time. Muscle wasting has been assumed to be the major contributor to this weight loss, and cytokine activation is postulated to be central to the pathogenesis. We hypothesised that elevated circulating cytokines in cachectic heart …

The role of metabolic rate and substrate utilization in the maintenance of body weight, body composition and insulin sensitivity
… approaches that target the reduction of body weight and fat mass. The improvement of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity also contribute towards reducing obesity-associated risk factors. While energy restriction alone results in significant weight …
