Impact of adiposity markers on Peak expiratory flow rate in young adult South Indian females

Muller Journal of Medical Sciences and Research, 2014
Background: Even though several factors like respiratory muscle strength, lung compliance, resistance to airflow, and elastic recoil of lungs determine lung functions, physical factors such as height, weight and central pattern of fat distribution also ...

Correlation Between Peak Expiratory Flow Rate, Markers of Adiposity, and Anthropometric Measures in Medical Students in Pakistan [PDF]

Cureus, 2020
Obesity has been defined as the excessive deposition of fats on the body. It presents a very significant risk to humanity, with debilitating consequences for healthcare systems worldwide. It has multiple effects on the body, including grave consequences on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Our project explores the latter.

Gender‐Specific Body Composition Relationships between Adipose Tissue Distribution and Peak Bone Mineral Density in Young Chinese Adults [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2020
Background. The relationships between adipose tissue distribution and peak bone mineral density (BMD) in young adults are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the body composition associations between fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM), regional adipose tissue distribution, and peak BMD across a cohort of young Chinese adults.

Potential selection effects when estimating associations between the infancy peak or adiposity rebound and later body mass index in children [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2016
This study aims to evaluate a potential selection effect caused by exclusion of children with non-identifiable infancy peak (IP) and adiposity rebound (AR) when estimating associations between age and body mass index (BMI) at IP and AR and later weight status.In 4744 children with at least 4 repeated measurements of height and weight in the age ...

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Cut-Points Related to Body Adiposity Parameters in Macedonian Children

Physical Education Theory and Methodology, 2022
Background and Objectives: There is a shortage of criteria referent standards for tests of logistic application meant to estimate the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of children and adolescents in the Republic of North Macedonia. The goal of the research

Differences in Cardiopulmonary Fitness Between Boy and Girls With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
ObjectiveMany studies have demonstrated that patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) have generally poorer cardiopulmonary fitness (CPF). However, little is known about how the disease results in different CPF in each sex. Therefore, this study

Characterization of the infant BMI peak: Sex differences, birth year cohort effects, association with concurrent adiposity, and heritability [PDF]

American Journal of Human Biology, 2013
ObjectivesTo characterize an early trait in the BMI‐for‐age curve, the infant BMI peak.MethodsBMI‐for‐age curves were produced for 747 non‐Hispanic, white Fels Longitudinal Study participants, from which individual age (AgePeak) and BMI (BMIPeak) at maximum infant BMI were estimated.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of goat (Capra hircus) adipose tissue reveals physiological regulation of body reserve recovery after the peak of lactation

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2022
Adipose tissue is the energy storage organ providing energy to other tissues, including mammary gland, that supports the achievement of successive lactation cycles. Our objective was to investigate the ability of goats to restore body fat reserves by comparing lipogenic enzyme activities and by transcriptomic RNA-Seq data at two different physiological

Cardiovascular Mechanisms of Exercise Intolerance in Older Patients with Heart Failure

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Exercise intolerance, measured by peak oxygen consumption (V̇O2), is a hallmark feature of heart failure (HF). The effect is compounded in the elderly HF patient by aging-associated changes such as a reduction in lean muscle mass, an increase in ...
