SIRT6 Ameliorates Cancer Cachexia–Associated Adipose Wasting by Suppressing TNFR2 Signalling in Mice

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Cachexia is a wasting syndrome associated with imbalanced energy metabolism and loss of adipose and muscle tissues and contributes to morbidity and mortality in ageing as well as in patients with severe chronic diseases, including cancer. At present, there are no treatments addressing cachexia that have reached validation to be used

Weight/height2: Mathematical overview of the world's most widely used adiposity index

Obesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2025.
Summary A footnote in Adolphe Quetelet's classic 1835 Treatise on Man described his algebraic analysis of how body weight ( W) varies with height ( H) in adult males and females. Using data on 12 short and 12 tall subjects of each sex, Quetelet established the rule that W is approximately proportional ( ∝) to H2 in adults; that is, W∝H2 when W≈αH2 for ...

Dual Photon Absorptiometry: Validation of Mineral and Fat Measurements [PDF]

, 1990
Photons passing through human tissue undergo attenuation in relation to the specific chemical substances with which they interact. Soft tissues, consisting largely of water and organic compounds, reduce photon flux to a lesser extent than bone mineral, which contains the intermediate-Z element calcium.

Relation of BMI to a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measure of fatness [PDF]

, 2017
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a valid technique for measuring the fat, bone and lean (muscle, organs and water) masses of the body. We evaluated relationships of BMI (kg/m2) with independent measurements of fat and lean masses using DXA in ...

Radiomic‐based biomarkers: Transforming age and body composition metrics into personalized age‐informed indices

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Chronological age has been the standard for quantifying the aging process. While it is simple to quantify it cannot fully discern the biological variability of aging between individuals. The growing body of interest in this variability of human aging has led to the introduction of new biomarkers to operationalize biological age.

Assessing body composition in older adults: comparing BMI, Calf circumference, and DXA

Retos: Nuevas Tendencias en Educación Física, Deportes y Recreación
This research aimed to investigate the possible correlation between body mass index (BMI), left calf circumference (CC), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). After the sampling process, 287 participants (X = 66.50 5.75 years) residing in Aracaju

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the forearm: Reproducibility and correlation with single-photon absorptiometry

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1992
Abstract Although single-photon absorptiometry (SPA) has been the predominant tool used to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in the forearm, the development of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) provides the benefits of greater source stability, reduced scanning time, and improved image resolution compared to SPA.
