Fatty liver index associates with relative sarcopenia and GH/ IGF- 1 status in obese subjects [PDF]
, 2016 Recently the association between hepatic steatosis and sarcopenia has been described. GH/IGF-1 axis has been postulated to play a role in linking fatty liver and low muscle mass.

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 ...

Large-scale biometry with interpretable neural network regression on UK Biobank body MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In a large-scale medical examination, the UK Biobank study has successfully imaged more than 32,000 volunteer participants with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Each scan is linked to extensive metadata, providing a comprehensive medical survey of imaged anatomy and related health states.

Full Quantum Analysis of Two-Photon Absorption Using Two-Photon Wavefunction: Comparison with One-Photon Absorption [PDF]
J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 78 (2009) 104401, 2009 For dissipation-free photon-photon interaction at the single photon level, we analyze one-photon transition and two-photon transition induced by photon pairs in three-level atoms using two-photon wavefunctions. We show that the two-photon absorption can be substantially enhanced by adjusting the time correlation of photon pairs.

Accuracy and the influence of marrow fat on quantitative CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements of the femoral neck in vitro [PDF]
, 1996 Bone mineral measurements with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were compared with chemical analysis (ChA) to determine (1) the accuracy and (2) the influence of bone marrow fat.

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.

SPECIFIC SITES OF BONE EXPANSION DEPEND ON THE LEVEL OF VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE IN PREPUBESCENT BOYS
Biology of Sport, 2013 The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 18 months of high and low levels of volleyball practice on bone acquisition. 130 prepubescent boys (mean age 11.4 ± 0.7) were divided into a high-level training group (HLG), low-level training ...

Determinants of bone damage: An ex-vivo study on porcine vertebrae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Bone's resistance to fracture depends on several factors, such as bone mass, microarchitecture, and tissue material properties. The clinical assessment of bone strength is generally performed by Dual-X Ray Photon Absorptiometry (DXA), measuring bone ...
