Overfat cutoffs and the optimal combination of body fat indices for detecting cardiometabolic risk among school‐aged children

Obesity, 2023
AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to develop cutoffs and the optimal combination for body fat indices for screening cardiometabolic risk (CMR) among the pediatric population.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study consisted of 8710 (50.3% boys) Chinese children aged 6 to 18 years.

Diets to Maintain Heat Content of Overfat Lambs on Slimming Regimes

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1988
Downgrading of lamb carcasses for overfatness is a major source of revenue loss to U.K. sheep farmers due to loss of EEC payments worth up to £20 per head. The difficulties of assessing fatness on live lambs by subjective assessment using lumbar palpation and the fact that in live markets the same techniques are used by the MLC graders cause problems ...

Poor Iron Status Is Not Associated with Overweight or Overfat in Non-Obese Pre-Menopausal Women

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2009
Associations between obesity and poor iron status have been described in children and adults. Proposed mechanisms for this association implicate a physiologic etiology, suggesting body fat accretion may progressively degrade iron status. However, the relationship between iron status and body composition in non-obese adults remains unclear.In this study

Variation in the carcass characteristics of commercial british sheep with particular reference to overfatness

Meat Science, 1979
Classification records for 136,000 sheep carcasses, a1 in 20 sample of those classified by the Meat and Livestock Commission in 1977, were used to examine the variation in weight, fatness and conformation of commercial British sheep. Overall mean carcass weight was 17·4 kg.

Examination of muscle morphology and neuromuscular function in normal weight and overfat children aged 7‐10 years

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2018
Neuromuscular function in young overweight/obese (OF) children is not well described.AimThis study examined isometric and isokinetic leg extensor strength, muscle size (mCSA) and tissue composition as measured via echo intensity (mEI), and motor unit (MU) firing rates in normal weight (NW) and OF children aged 7‐10 years.MethodsFourteen NW (eight girls

Overfatness, stunting and physical inactivity are determinants of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1activity, fibrinogen and thrombin–antithrombin complex in African adolescents

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis, 2008
We examined fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin complex, factor VIIIc and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity in African children in order to determine haemostatic profile patterning and to identify possible subdivisions at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Potential for waist-to-height ratio to detect overfat adolescents from a Pacific Island, even those within the normal BMI range

Obesity Research & Clinical Practice, 2018
Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a simple anthropometric proxy for central body fat; it is easy to use from a health education perspective. A WHtR value >0.5 has been proposed as a first level indicator of health risk. The first aim of this study was to compare WHtR with values based on body mass index (BMI) in their prediction of the percentage of body

Chronic energy deficiency and relative abdominal overfatness coexist in free‐living elderly individuals in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999
As part of the Cross‐Cultural Research on Nutrition of Older Subjects (CRONOS) project, the aim of this cross‐sectional study was to observe the nutritional status and body composition of free‐living elderly and middle‐aged people in a low‐income area of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Anthropometric data (weight; height; arm span; four skinfold thicknesses;

A system for store lamb finishing from roots involving the slimming of overfat lambs and ad libitum concentrate feeding of underfinished lambs

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1989
Traditional systems of finishing store lambs from roots are unpredictable and inflexible. Lamb genotype, sex and initial weight significantly affect potential performance and target weights for slaughter at currently fashionable levels of fat cover. Lamb performance can easily be affected by climate.
