A Scoping Review of Instruments Used to Measure Weight and Body Composition in Infants Under 1 Year

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This scoping review identified existing outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) for weight and body composition in children ≤ 1 year of age and how they are used in clinical trials. This information will improve outcome selection in future trials.

Dietary intakes and body composition of Māori and Pacific women in the women's EXPLORE study : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2017
The most thorough record of dietary intake among New Zealand (NZ) Māori and Pacific women was undertaken in the 2008 NZ Adult Nutrition Survey, but it did not consider the relationship with body composition.

Resistance exercise breaks during prolonged sitting augment the blood flow response to a subsequent oral glucose load in sedentary adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sitting‐induced impairments in postprandial blood flow are an important link between sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic disease risk. The objective of this work was to examine the effects of resistance exercise breaks (REB) performed every 30 min during an otherwise sedentary 3‐h period on the vasodilatory response to a subsequent oral ...

The therapeutic role of exercise training during menopause for reducing vascular disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause marks a major milestone in female reproductive ageing. It is characterized by the cessation of ovarian function and a concomitant decline in hormones such as oestradiol. Subsequently, females undergoing menopausal transition experience a progressive increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk.

Trimethylamine N‐oxide is elevated in postmenopausal women relative to age‐matched men and premenopausal women among individuals with obesity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) is linked to arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk increases following menopause in women. Whether menopause influences plasma TMAO metabolism to mediate CVD risk is unknown.

Reference values of impulse oscillometric lung function indices in adults of advanced age. [PDF]

, 2013
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-demanding lung function test. Its diagnostic use may be particularly useful in patients of advanced age with physical or mental limitations unable to perform spirometry.

Time‐course analysis of cerebral circulation and cardiorespiratory responses to acute central blood volume reduction in healthy young males

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central blood volume (CBV) reduction challenges circulatory and respiratory homeostasis, particularly during the initial compensatory phase (0–2 min), when rapid physiological adaptations occur. In this study, we examined dynamic cardiorespiratory responses to CBV reduction using lower‐body negative pressure (LBNP) in 11 healthy young males ...

Studying Peripheral Vascular Pulse Wave Velocity Using Bio-impedance Plethysmography and Regression Analysis

IEEE CIT 2017, 2017
In this study, a simple bioimpedance plethysmography method was employed to measure the pulse wave velocity (PWV) from the radial artery in the wrist to the middle finger of a patient.
