Annual Review of Nutrition, 1988
The genetics of human obesity was reviewed here in terms of studies dealing with body fat and fat distribution. The role of heredity was examined by reviewing genetic disorders in which obesity is a clinical feature. Two kinds of genetic effects were discussed: the additive genetic effect and the genotype-environment interaction effect.

Measurement of Body Fat and Fat Distribution
Journal of Nursing Measurement, 1995Overweight and obesity are increasing in prevalent and thus an important area for intervention and investigation. Researchers and clinicians have a variety of measurement techniques to assess body fatness and regional fat. These techniques are chosen for their accuracy and precision in light of their cost, convenience, and safety.

Effects of the Menopause Transition on Body Fatness and Body Fat Distribution
Obesity Research, 1998AbstractObjective: The menopause transition increases cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk, partly because of the adverse effects of estrogen deficiency on the plasma lipid‐lipoprotein profile and cardiovascular function. This increased cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk may also be partially mediated by increased body fat, increased ...

American Journal of Human Biology, 1993
AbstractThis paper reviews recent data concerning the role of inherited differences in body fat content. The heritability of percent body fat or fat mass reaches about 25% of the age and gender adjusted phenotypic variance. One study has reported a significant major gene effect accounting for almost one half of the variance in body fat content ...

ON BODY FAT AND BODY WATER IN RATS
Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology, 1955Under our experimental conditions, water represented 72% of the fat-free body mass. This constant was found to be completely independent of the magnitude of the fat depots. Consideration of the composition of various samples of adipose tissue suggests that the water to fat-free dry matter ratio is the same as in the body as a whole or that any "excess"

Body weight, body fat, and ovulation
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1991Women with moderate weight loss (10%-15% of ideal weight) have secondary or primary amenorrhea. Athletic women also may have amenorrhea, or anovulatory cycles, though body weight may be in the normal range, since muscles are heavy (80% water compared with 5%-10% water in adipose tissue).

Dietary fat is not a major determinant of body fat
The American Journal of Medicine, 2002The percentage of energy from fat in diets has been thought to be an important determinant of body fat, and several mechanisms have been proposed. Comparisons of diets and the prevalence of obesity between affluent and poor countries have been used to support this relationship, but these contrasts are seriously confounded by differences in physical ...

Dietary fat and body fat: an intervention study.
International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 1996Assessment of body composition in relation to the habitual diet and after a six month dietary intervention.After a baseline measurement subjects were randomly assigned to either a group consuming reduced-fat products or a group consuming full-fat products for six months.108 women and 109 men, equally distributed over the age range 19-35 with BMI ...

Assessment of cutaneous fat and body fat by ultrasound
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1987A new rapid and simple method is introduced to measure subcutaneous fat and evaluate total body fat. It is based on real-time ultrasound and requires equipment that is used in routine examination of subcutaneous structures, e.g., thyroid gland. Results from seven regions of skin in 100 subjects correlated well with total body weight, Broca's index, and

Fat areas as estimates of total body fat
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1980The efficacy of cross-sectional fat areas in estimating total body fat was investigated in a sample of white American children and adults. Body density and total fat weight (kg) in the body were determined by hydrostatic weighing. Fat areas were calculated for the arm and calf using the appropriate limb circumferences and skinfolds measured at the ...
