Measuring and Managing Obesity in Pregnancy Using the Edmonton Obesity Staging System: A Scoping Review

Clinical Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emerging evidence and clinical practice guidelines have highlighted that obesity, defined as a chronic disease characterised by excess or dysfunctional adipose tissue, may not be accurately measured or understood by solely relying on body mass index (BMI) which is a measure of size not functionality.

Body composition by DXA

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1995
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is unquestionably the method of choice for the assessment of bone mass. Recent generations of DXA instruments also have the capability of assessing soft tissue mass, thereby providing a three-compartment model of body composition, i.e., bone mineral, fat, and bone-free lean masses.

Gestational Melatonin Supplementation Attenuates Maternal Sleep Deprivation‐Induced Steatohepatitis Susceptibility in Offspring

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Maternal SD during pregnancy enhances the development of diet‐induced NASH in adult offspring of both sexes through an NR4A3‐dependent mechanism, characterised by heightened inflammation and increased apoptosis. Maternal melatonin supplementation effectively alleviates this increased susceptibility to NASH in offspring.

Validation of anthropometric and bioelectrical impedance equations for the prediction of fat mass amongst South African children

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Background/Aims While several prediction equations which combine anthropometric, demographic, and/or bioelectrical impedance (BIA) variables to estimate childhood fat mass (FM) are available, comprehensive comparisons of their performance are lacking.
