Bichat's fat-pad: correlations with some anthropometric parameters.
1997
SummaryThe primary aim of this investigation was to evaluate the relationship between Bichat's fat-pad volume, visualized by ultrasonography, and widely used anthropometric measurements, in 60 women and 13 men, ranging in weight from 57 to 124·5 kg. The body of Bichat's fat-pad was significantly correlated with all anthropometric parameters, although the correlation was much stronger with weight (r = 0·94, p < 0·0001, women; r = 0·85, p = 0·0003, men) and body mass index (BMI) (r = 0·94, p < 0·0001, women; r = 0·91, p < 0·0001, men).
Insulin resistance and oxidative stress in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
2007
Oxidative stress is associated with atherosclerosis. Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is considered as a human model of primary dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis frequently associated with insulin resistance (IR), but there are few data on its possible relation to oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate oxidative stress status using different markers in subjects with FCH assessing its possible correlation with anthropometric parameters and IR. This was a cross-sectional study. A cohort of 40 FCH patients (20 with IR (HOMAor=3.2) and 20 without IR (HOMA3.2)), and 20 healthy volunteers were included, all of them non-diabetic, normotensive and non-smokers. We measure…
Impact of a program based in eating habits and physiotherapy on anthropometric parameters in patients with coronary artery disease: randomized contro…
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction. On the one hand, physical training such as High intensity interval training (HIIT) and on the other, eating habits, it is often prescribed to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Nevertheless, the combination of HIIT and eating habits in CAD with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) there is no consensus on using a combined protocol of both. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of an HIIT program with eating habits, with a program based in HIIT, on anthropometric parameters in CAD patients with PCI. Methods. A randomized controlled trial was carried out in a hospital. 44 pati…
Relationship between anthropometric parameters, physiological responses, routes and competition results in formula windsurfing
2012
Formula windsurfing is faster than the Olympic version, due to anumber of unique differences. This study was designed to identify the importance of anthropometric and cardiac factors on the final result of the European Formula Windsurf Championships (2007). We selected 45 competitors (30 amateurs and 15 professionals) of 30±9.77 years of age, a height of 182.6±0.06 cm, a weight of 81.67±7.35 kg and a BMIof 24.7±2.1 kg. They were divided into three groups (PG: 15; TG: 45and GPSG: 12). We followed the recommendations of Carter and Marfell-Jones for the anthropometric measurements. The route, speed, distance and heart rate were recorded using an FRWD W600 GPS (Global Positioning System) unit. …
Prevalencia de malnutrición entre ancianos institucionalizados en la Comunidad Valenciana
2001
Fundamento Conocer la prevalencia de malnutricion en poblacion anciana institucionalizada estratificada por percentiles de edad y sexo. Pacientes y metodo Se estudiaron un total de 615 ancianos institucionalizados, con una edad media (DE) de 79,33 (9,07) anos. Los parametros antropometricos medidos fueron peso, talla, distancia rodilla-talon, pliegues tricipital y subescapular, y perimetro del brazo y de la cintura. Se calcularon el perimetro y el area muscular del brazo y la masa grasa. Los parametros bioquimicos determinados fueron colesterol, trigliceridos, albumina, prealbumina, transferrina, proteina fijadora de retinol, C3 y recuento de linfocitos. Se diagnostico malnutricion cuando a…
Registration-based Construction of a Whole-body Human Phantom Library for Anthropometric Modeling.
2020
Various computational human phantoms have been proposed in the past decades, but few of them include delicate anthropometric variations. In this study, we build a whole-body phantom library including 145 anthropometric parameters. This library is constructed by registration-based pipeline, which transfers a standard whole-body anatomy template to an anthropometry-adjustable body shape library (MakeHuman™). Therefore, internal anatomical structures are created for body shapes of different anthropometric parameters. Based on the constructed library, we can generate individualized whole-body phantoms according to given arbitrary anthropometric parameters. Moreover, the proposed phantom library…
Bone status in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes: a 10-year longitudinal study
2020
Introduction: This study presents a 10-year longitudinal assessment of bone status in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Material and methods: Thirty-two patients (12 female, aged 20.5 ± 3.93 years, T1D duration 13.9 ± 1.97 years) were studied using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Standard deviation scores (SDS) for these results were calculated. The following clinical parameters were analysed: sex, age, T1D duration, anthropometric parameters, daily insulin requirement (DIR), mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in the year preceding the examination, medication other than insulin, history of bone fractures, and comorbidities. Res…
Relationships among nasal resistance, age and anthropometric parameters of the nose during growth
2018
Background: Children generally have a higher nasal resistance than adults. Growth changes the size and different anthropometric parameters of the nose. Logarithmic effective resistance and logarithmic vertex resistance were introduced as physically correct parameters for nasal obstruction. The previously published classification of obstruction derived from 36,500 measurements is missing data for patients aged 7 to 19 years. Methodology: Rhinomanometry was performed before and after decongestion with 9 different anthropometric measurements in 225 children and adolescents. Correlations among age, anthropometric measurements, and logarithmic effective and vertex resistance were determined for …
