Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases: A Systematic Review of Functional Foods, Medicinal Plants, Phytochemicals, Bioactive Compounds and Nutrients Effective Against Metabolic Diseases

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates how functional foods, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds and essential nutrients combat metabolic diseases. It highlights their mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, insulin‐sensitising, lipid‐regulating, gut microbiota‐modulating and mitochondrial‐enhancing effects, leading to improved ...

The Effect of Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference on Prostate Specific Antigen in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Obesity may be associated with lower prostate specific antigen(PSA) values, If true, this would result in fewer obese men having an elevated PSA, fewer biopsies performed, and fewer cancers detected , consequently cancers may be missed or not

The association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and lumbar bone mineral density

Abstract Introduction The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a novel metric developed for assessing fat and muscle mass, showing potential advantages over traditional measures like body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Despite its promise, the relationship between WWI and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) remains uncertain ...

Table_1_The relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index and total bone mineral density in adults aged 20-59.docx

, 2023
IntroductionAccording to reports, obesity has a significant impact on bone health. And the weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), superior to BMI and waist circumference (WC), is a new obesity indicator arising in recent years. This research investigated the

Dietary behaviours, weight loss attempts and change in waist circumference: 15-year longitudinal study in Australian adults

, 2017
Background and Objectives: Dietary behaviours are suitable as clearly identifiable targets of dietary counselling to prevent weight gain. We therefore investigated associations between dietary behaviours, weight loss attempts and waist circumference ...

Correlation of ultrasound measured testicular volume with waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio and conicity index in Nigerian adults [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Accurate testicular volume measurement is one way to assess testicular function. Some obese males exhibit altered levels of circulating sex steroids; decreased levels of total testosterone (T) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and ...
