A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Psychological Therapies for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in Adolescents and Adults

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The efficacy of psychological therapies for adolescents and adults with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) has yet to be rigorously analyzed through systematic review or meta‐analysis. Method We identified articles from seven databases that presented psychological therapies for adolescents and adults with ARFID. First,

Waist circumference as a predictor for blood glucose levels in adults [PDF]

Universa Medicina, 2009
Anthropometric indexes such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip ciucumference (HC), and waist–hip ratio (WHR), are all useful anthropometric measurements to provide important information on blood glucose concentrations.

Quantile contours and allometric modelling for risk classification of abnormal ratios with an application to asymmetric growth-restriction in preterm infants

, 2019
We develop an approach to risk classification based on quantile contours and allometric modelling of multivariate anthropometric measurements. We propose the definition of allometric direction tangent to the directional quantile envelope, which divides ...

Micronutrient Status in Children Suffering From Anorexia Nervosa: A Cohort of 349 Patients in a Referral Center for Eating Disorders

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious illness in which more than half of all deaths are due to malnutrition. Critically low energy and protein intake are known causes of massive weight loss, whereas micronutrient deficiencies due to a low‐calorie food pattern remain poorly characterized in children with AN. Micronutrient deficiencies in

Obesidade e intervenção coronariana: devemos continuar valorizando o Índice de Massa Corpórea? Obesity and coronary intervention: should we continue to use Body Mass Index as a risk factor?

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2008
FUNDAMENTO: Para discriminar risco coronariano elevado, indicadores de obesidade central são melhores do que o Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC), que é ainda o índice antropométrico (IA) mais utilizado para seguimento após intervenção coronariana percutânea

Retinal micro-vascular and aortic macro-vascular changes in postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]

, 2018
Aim of the study was to evaluate the micro and macro-vascular changes in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) compared to controls. 30 postmenopausal PHPT women (15 hypertensive and 15 normotensive) and 30 normotensive controls underwent ...

The Breathing IQ: an anthropometric index of diaphragmatic breathing efficiency

Frontiers in Physiology
BackgroundBreathing pattern disorders (BPDs) are becoming increasingly relevant due to the rise of respiratory illnesses but are often limited to diagnoses of hyperventilation syndrome and do not consider breathing dysfunction of mechanical origin. Impaired diaphragmatic and inefficient breathing patterns often evolve into downstream musculoskeletal ...

Development of a Library of Adult Computational Phantoms Based on Anthropometric Indexes

IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences, 2019
Computational phantom libraries have been developed over the years to enhance the accuracy of Monte Carlo-based radiation dose calculations from radiological procedures. In this paper, we report on the development of an adult computational anthropomorphic phantom library covering different body morphometries among the 20-80 years old population.
