Exercise without Weight Loss Prevents Seasonal Decline in Vitamin D Metabolites: The VitaDEx Randomized Controlled Trial

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In people with overweight or obesity, regular exercise even without weight loss or vitamin D supplementation completely prevents the usual winter decline in the vitamin D metabolite that maintains health at a cellular level, 1,25(OH)2D3, and ameliorates the decline in the vitamin D status marker 25(OH)D.

Normative anthropometry and proportions of the Kenyan-African face and comparative anthropometry in relation to African Americans and North American Whites

Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2019
There is no normative craniofacial anthropometric data for the Kenyan-African population. The purpose of this investigation was to determine normative anthropometric craniofacial measurements and proportional relationships for Kenyans of African descent ...

Increasing sedentary time, minimum dietary energy requirements, and food security assessment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract We compute corrections for sedentary behavior in physical activity levels (PALs) and incorporate them along with corrections for over estimation of basal metabolic rates (BMRs) into threshold caloric intakes, known as minimum dietary energy requirements (MDERs).

Screening of undernutrition in children with Hirschsprung disease using preoperative anthropometric parameters: A multicenter cross‐sectional study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 151-158, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The prevalence of malnutrition is unknown in patients with Hirschsprung disease. Undernutrition is associated with poor clinical outcomes. This study aims to describe the nutrition status among patients with Hirschsprung disease at admission.

The Design of Stretch: A Compact, Lightweight Mobile Manipulator for Indoor Human Environments [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Mobile manipulators for indoor human environments can serve as versatile devices that perform a variety of tasks, yet adoption of this technology has been limited. Reducing size, weight, and cost could facilitate adoption, but risks restricting capabilities.

Cloud‐Based Control System with Sensing and Actuating Textile‐Based IoT Gloves for Telerehabilitation Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Using cloud computing technology, a telerehabilitation application allows patients to perform exercises remotely. Sensor data from a textile‐based IoT glove is processed in the cloud and transmitted as exercise commands to an actuating T‐IoT glove worn by patients.

Explaining human body responses in random vibration: Effect of motion direction, sitting posture, and anthropometry [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This study investigates the effects of anthropometric attributes, biological sex, and posture on translational body kinematic responses in translational vibrations. In total, 35 participants were recruited. Perturbations were applied on a standard car seat using a motion-based platform with 0.1 to 12.0 Hz random noise signals, with 0.3 m/s2 rms ...

Multi‐Risk‐Level Sarcopenia‐Prone Screening via Machine Learning Classification of Sit‐to‐Stand Motion Metrics from Wearable Sensors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning approach utilizes micro inertial measurement units (μIMUs) for noninvasive sarcopenia screening through a sit‐to‐stand test. With 53 older participants wearing IMUs, 510 features are extracted across four motion phases. Five algorithms (support vector machine, K‐nearest neighbors, decision tree, linear discriminant analysis, and ...

Challenges in Use of Adolescent Anthropometry for Understanding the Burden of Malnutrition.

Advances in Nutrition, 2019
Improving nutritional status during adolescence is an opportunity to improve the lives of this generation and the next. Estimating the burden of malnutrition at a population level is fundamental to targeting interventions and measuring progress over time,

AnthroNet: Conditional Generation of Humans via Anthropometrics [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We present a novel human body model formulated by an extensive set of anthropocentric measurements, which is capable of generating a wide range of human body shapes and poses. The proposed model enables direct modeling of specific human identities through a deep generative architecture, which can produce humans in any arbitrary pose. It is the first of
