Assessing newborn body composition using principal components analysis: differences in the determinants of fat and skeletal size [PDF]

, 2006
Background Birth weight is a composite of skeletal size and soft tissue. These components are likely to have different growth patterns. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between established determinants of birth weight and these ...

The Double‐Edged Sword of Gestational Insulin Resistance: Navigating Maternal Adaptation and Its Risks for Pregnancy and Offspring Health

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Although much research focuses on the effects of hyperglycemia during pregnancy on maternal and offspring health, this narrative review specifically centers on the role of insulin resistance (IR) in pregnancy complications and offspring long‐term health.

Fat‐Free Mass Predictions From Anthropometrics in South African Prepubertal Children

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 422-430, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background South African children face a double burden of malnutrition from undernutrition and rising obesity. Simple, accurate methods to estimate fat‐free mass, a key health indicator, are needed, as bioelectrical impedance analysis is limited by cost, availability and lack of local validation.

Adjusting bone mass for differences in projected bone area and other confounding variables: an allometric perspective. [PDF]

, 2002
The traditional method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD; given by bone mineral content [BMC] divided by projected bone area [Ap], BMD = BMC/Ap) has come under strong criticism by various authors. Their criticism being that the projected bone "area"

Determining Skinfold Thickness through Artificial Neural Networks

Journal of the Institute of Science and Technology, 2016
Skinfold thickness values, which are used in many studies to evaluate the nutritionalstatus of disabled people, are measured by a caliper. The usage of this measurement device in disabledpeople, and especially children with autism, is very diffcult. The aim of this study is to fnd a solution tothis problem by using a model that produces high accuracy ...

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

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
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.

Commuting by bicycle (vs. by car) is associated with improved aerobic power, microvascular function and diminished CO2 output in the atmosphere

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 834-848, 1 March 2026.
Abstract The study investigated whether bicycle compared with car commuting, over relatively small distances, has positive effects on physiological variables, cardiometabolic fitness and CO2 output in the atmosphere. Bike Commuters (11 M, 15 F; age [median value (interquartile range)] 51.5 (38.3–56.8) years; body mass index [BMI] 22.8 (21.0–24.1) kg m ...
