Obesity prevalence and average body composition vary by US race gender. Asian Americans have the lowest of obesity. Relying on body-mass index (BMI) to estimate obesity may misclassify subgroups that appear normally weighted but excess fat. We evaluated percentage fat (PBF) BMI determine whether reflects PBF consistently across different races. 940 college students were recruited from a local public university over four consecutive years. measured bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA),...
While high protein diets have been shown to improve satiety and retention of lean body mass (LBM), this study was designed determine effects a protein-enriched meal replacement (MR) on weight loss LBM by comparison an isocaloric carbohydrate-enriched MR within customized diet plans utilizing achieve or standard intakes.Single blind, placebo-controlled, randomized outpatient trial in 100 obese men women comparing two which added supplementary carbohydrate powder. used twice daily (one meal,...
Approximately, 50-60% of patients with sleep apnea have hypertension. To explore a mechanism this relationship, we compared its prevalence in hypertensive population and without hyperaldosteronism.Using the Kaiser Permanente Southern California database, individuals who had plasma aldosterone renin activity measured between 1 January 2006 31 December 2007 were evaluated. Hyperaldosteronism was defined as an : ratio more than 30 20 ng/dl or 50 (ng/dl ng/ml per h). Hypertension identified by...
There is concern that recommending protein-enriched meal replacements as part of a weight management program could lead to changes in biomarkers liver or renal function and reductions bone density. This study was designed placebo-controlled clinical trial utilizing two isocaloric plans either high (HP) standard protein (SP) replacement an outpatient loss program. 100 obese men women over 30 years age with body mass index (BMI) between 27 40 kg/m2 were randomized one 1). HP group: providing...
♦Background We sought to compare perioperative outcomes and 2-year survival in a cohort of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients compared with matched hemodialysis (HD) who underwent cardiothoracic surgery at our institution. ♦Methods obtained list all dialysis-dependent cardiac (coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, or both) center between 1994 2008. All undergoing PD the time were included analysis. Two HD for age, diabetes status, Charleston comorbidity score each patient....
Background: Various adipose tissue factors have been implicated as biomarkers of the metabolic syndrome (MS). The objective this study was to assess which specific would discriminate presence MS in a strictly obese population meeting waist circumference (WC) criteria for MS. Methods: This cross-sectional 148 subjects recruited from university-based weight loss program prior starting program. Patients were eligible if they had BMI more than 25 kg/m2 and WC 40 35 inches males females,...
Using a millennium of data for 12 countries in the East and West, this article tests extent to which contracting institutions, property right institutions culture can explain economic development Great Divergence. It is tested whether these theories influence growth through science technology or human capital channels that are independent two channels. found culture, have all been relevant development.
We use the moment method of Wood to study distribution random finite modules over a countable Dedekind domain with quotients, generated by taking cokernels $n\times n$ matrices entries valued in domain. Previously, found that when integral matrix are not too concentrated modulo prime, asymptotic (as $n\to\infty$) cokernel matches Cohen and Lenstra conjecture on class groups imaginary quadratic fields. develop prove condition produces similar universality result for quotients.
In this paper, we developed a model to assess the government’s disaster response during COVID-19 pandemic, exploring variations across jurisdictions dominated by different political identities in United States. The defines an individual’s payoff as positive function of his/her income and response. individual is more prone wear mask if government responsive there can be lower loss for pandemic when he/she has higher compliance order face mask. Utilizing model, derive positively correlated...
