What is the best measure of adiposity change in growing children: BMI, BMI %, BMI z-score or BMI centile? [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2005
Weight control programs for obese children monitor change in body mass index (BMI) adjusted for age. However, change can be measured in several ways: raw (kg/m2) units, percentage, z-scores or centiles. The suitability of the different measures is not known.To identify the optimal BMI measure for change, whose short-term variability is most consistent ...

Multifocal stimulation of the cerebro-cerebellar loop during the acquisition of a novel motor skill

Scientific Reports, 2021
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-based interventions for augmenting motor learning are gaining interest in systems neuroscience and clinical research. Current approaches focus largely on monofocal motorcortical stimulation.

Evaluation of Alternative Body Mass Index (BMI) Metrics to Monitor Weight Status in Children and Adolescents With Extremely High BMI Using CDC BMI-for-age Growth Charts.

Vital and health statistics. Ser. 1, Programs and collection procedures, 2022
In the United States, obesity and severe obesity in children and adolescents are defined using threshold values from the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sex-specific body mass index (BMI)- for-age growth charts.

Plasma Protein Profiling Reveals Protein Clusters Related to BMI and Insulin Levels in Middle-Aged Overweight Subjects [PDF]

, 2010
Background - Biomarkers that allow detection of the onset of disease are of high interest since early detection would allow intervening with lifestyle and nutritional changes before the disease is manifested and pharmacological therapy is required.

Targeting the frontoparietal network using bifocal transcranial alternating current stimulation during a motor sequence learning task in healthy older adults

Brain Stimulation, 2022
Background: Healthy older adults show a decrease in motor performance and motor learning capacity as well as in working memory (WM) performance. WM has been suggested to be involved in motor learning processes, such as sequence learning.

Intergenerational change and familial aggregation of body mass index [PDF]

, 2011
The relationship between parental BMI and that of their adult offspring, when increased adiposity can become a clinical issue, is unknown. We investigated the intergenerational change in body mass index (BMI) distribution, and examined the sex-specific ...

Obesity or BMI Paradox? Beneath the Tip of the Iceberg

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2020
The obesity paradox refers to extant evidence showing that obesity in older subjects or in patients with several chronic diseases may be protective and associated with decreased mortality.
