Estimation of lean body mass in children [PDF]
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2011 In adults, dosages of some anaesthetic agents are based on lean body mass (LBM) rather than body weight. Our aim was to derive an equation for estimating LBM in children.Patients comprised three groups: prospective kidney transplant donors from two separate centres (centres 1 and 3) and children referred to a further centre (centre 2) for the routine ...

Pathways to interleukin-6 in healthy males and serious leisure male athletes: physical activity, body composition and age. [PDF]
, 2012 Physical activity (PA) is beneficial to overall health, in part due to physiological changes that lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including reduced inflammation. However, the mechanism by which PA reduces inflammation is unclear.

Dapagliflozin increases the lean-to total mass ratio in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Nutrition & Diabetes, 2021 We compared the effect of dapagliflozin versus glibenclamide on the ratio of lean-to total mass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, carotid subclinical atherosclerosis, HbA1c 7.0–9.0% and 40–70 years-old.

Large meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies five loci for lean body mass [PDF]
, 2017 Lean body mass, consisting mostly of skeletal muscle, is important for healthy aging. We performed a genome-wide association study for whole body (20 cohorts of European ancestry with n = 38,292) and appendicular (arms and legs) lean body mass (n = 28 ...

Metabolism, 1995 A study of 49 pairs of monozygous (MZ) twins and 38 pairs of same-sexed dizygous (DZ) twins showed that lean body mass (LBM), as determined by potassium 40 counting, is under genetic influence. Intrapair variances for LBM are much smaller than those for body fat, which suggests that LBM has a higher degree of heritability.

Association between obesity and bacterial vaginosis as assessed by Nugent score [PDF]
, 2019 Background Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common vaginal conditions in the U.S. Recent studies have suggested obese women have an abnormal microbiota reminiscent of BV; however, few studies have investigated the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis
