Relative fat mass as a predictor of incident stroke: evidence from the PREVEND cohort

Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases
Background and aims: Relative fat mass (RFM), an adiposity index derived from waist circumference and height, has emerged as a strong and consistent marker of cardiometabolic risk. However, evidence on its association with incident stroke is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of RFM with incident stroke and its subtypes. Methods and

Misperception of Body Weight After Childhood Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Misperception of body weight can negatively impact the weight management efforts of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). Both being overweight or underweight are associated with chronic health conditions commonly observed in CCS; therefore, accurate weight perception is critical for reducing long‐term health risks.

Associations of relative fat mass and BMI with all‐cause mortality: Confounding effect of muscle mass

Obesity
AbstractObjectiveThe study objective was to examine associations of relative fat mass (RFM) and BMI with all‐cause mortality in the Dutch general population and to investigate whether additional adjustment for muscle mass strengthened these associations.MethodsA total of 8433 community‐dwelling adults from the PREVEND general population cohort (1997 ...

Phase Angle as an Early Functional Biomarker of Cancer‐Related Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low‐and middle‐income countries. Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer‐related fatigue (CRF).

Female Mice Are Protected from Metabolic Decline Associated with Lack of Skeletal Muscle HuR

Biology, 2021
Male mice lacking HuR in skeletal muscle (HuRm−/−) have been shown to have decreased gastrocnemius lipid oxidation and increased adiposity and insulin resistance. The same consequences have not been documented in female HuRm−/− mice. Here we examine this

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Evaluation of body fat and risk of obesity with body mass index and relative fat mass in college students

Health Leadership and Quality of Life
Introduction: Obesity, a global chronic disease characterized by excessive body fat accumulation, carries elevated factors of mortality and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, representing a serious threat to health. The aim of the study is to determine the risk of obesity in university students through the evaluation of body
