Abstract Objectives The general perception is that menstrual cycle a factor related to body weight and composition fluctuations in women. lack of standardized methodology the so far conducted studies has led controversial results. aim current study identify if there are any changes during cycle. Methods In measurements weight, circumferences, skinfolds with bioelectrical impedance analysis were twice per week 42 women their Results Body was found be statistically significantly higher...
Abstract This study assessed the dietary intake of European children by country, gender, and obesity degree across six countries participating in Feel4Diabetes study. It also compared food group intakes with food-based guidelines. The included 9,847 (50.4% girls) from countries. Families provided baseline data on energy balance-related behaviors socioeconomic factors via questionnaires. Children’s breakfast consumption were using semi-quantitative frequency questionnaires, anthropometric...
Abstract Background To date, there are no dietary intervention studies available jointly examining the changes produced in cardiometabolic risk indices and diet quality assessed with Healthy Eating Index 2005 (HEI‐2005). The present study aimed to evaluate effect of a 3‐month multicomponent lifestyle on several indices, physical activity levels quality. Methods A total sample 108 hypercholesterolaemic adults (40–60 years old) were randomised two groups provided instructed consume daily: (i)...
Objective To validate anthropometric equations in the current literature predicting body fat percentage (%BF) Greek population, to develop and two estimating %BF, compare them with retrieved equations. Methods Anthropometric data from 642 adults were incorporated. Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry was used as reference method. The comparison other made using Bland‐Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficient, Lin's concordance coefficient. Results Nine of thirty‐one had no...
Abstract A family meal is defined as a consumed together by the members of or having ≥ 1 parent present during meal. The frequency meals has been associated with healthier food intake patterns in both children and parents. This study aimed to investigate families at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes across Europe association (i) between meals’ consumption diet quality among parents (ii) children’s consumption. Moreover, elucidate mediating effect parental on Food anthropometric were...
The aim of this study was to validate noninvasive models, retrieved from the literature, estimating body fat in white women. cohort used for validation consisted 277 postmenopausal women, and reference method dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Five models were containing anthropometric measurements such as bicep tricep skinfolds, waist circumference (WC), height, weight. Models including only BMI found be less biased more valid than others skinfolds circumferences. model by Visser et...
Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) is an autosomal recessive, neurovisceral, lysosomal storage disorder with protean and progressive clinical manifestations, resulting from mutations in either of the two genes, NPC1 (~95% families) NPC2. Contrary to other populations, published evidence regarding NPC Greece sparse. The study population consisted Greek patients their extended pedigree. Patients' clinical, biochemical, molecular profiles possible correlations are presented. Genotyping was...
Since abdominal adiposity has been associated with increased risk for chronic diseases, valid and low cost methods to estimate it are needed clinical research purposes. The aim of the current study was develop validate, using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as reference method, a model that estimates fat mass percentage (AFM%) in white postmenopausal women based on simple easy-to-apply anthropometric measurements. An additional validate an bioelectrical impedance analyzer (ViScan)...
Early identification of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN) risk may improve prevention promote public health. Implementation self-reported scores for assessment provides an alternative cost-effective tool. The study aimed to develop validate two easy-to-apply screening tools identifying high-risk individuals insulin resistance (IR) HTN in a European cohort. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, anthropometric clinical data obtained from 1581 1350 adults (baseline the...
Background and aimsThe aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether underreporting dietary intake is associated with individual physical lifestyle parameters, body image perception.MethodsDietary assessed using 24h recalls in 490 individuals. Underreporters were compared normal reporters regarding age, fat, years education, number cigarettes, activity level (PAL) self-belief, wish minus belief according Stunkard Figure Rating Scale (FRS). Odds ratio relation negative perception...
The association between dairy product consumption and biomarkers of inflammation, adipocytokines, oxidative stress is poorly studied in children. Therefore, these associations were examined a representative subsample 1338 schoolchildren with mean age 11.5 (±0.7) years the Healthy Growth Study. Information on was collected by dietary recalls. Total calculated summing intake milk, yogurt, cheese. Inflammatory markers, i.e., high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6),...
Earlier age at menarche is one of the well-documented antecedents a range adverse health effects in adulthood including obesity and psychopathological effects. Yet, few researchers have examined potential association menarcheal with body fat distribution, self-perception, image. We retrospectively tested sample (N = 392) adult women (18-80 years) to examine associations composition image indices. Analyses covariance multivariable logistic linear regression were fitted adjusting for age,...
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a simple anthropometric model that estimates the fat mass white postmenopausal women compare it other models available in literature.Anthropometric data such as height, weight, waist gluteal circumferences, biceps, triceps, suprailiac, subscapular skinfolds, which were incorporated for development validation model, derived from 276 women. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry used reference method. Furthermore, comparison with made using...
Common mental disorders often emerge during childhood and adolescence, their prevalence is disproportionately elevated among those affected by obesity. Early life growth patterns may provide a useful target for primordial prevention; however, research lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to identify distinct body mass index (BMI) trajectories the first year of assess associations with psychosocial outcomes in preadolescence (9-13 years).
Abstract Introduction The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) and its inhibitor sclerostin, are key components of bone metabolism potential contributors to type 2 diabetes mellitus susceptibility. This study aims at evaluating the expression placental LRP5 sclerostin in pregnancies with gestational (GDM) investigate possible associations umbilical concentrations clinical outcomes mothers their neonates. Methods Twenty-six GDM-mothers 34 non-GDM Caucasian origin neonates...
