Measuring skin temperature (TSK) provides important information about the complex thermal control system and could be interesting when carrying out studies thermoregulation. The most common method to record TSK involves thermocouples at specific locations; however, use of infrared imaging (IRT) has increased. two methods different physical processes measure TSK, each advantages disadvantages. Therefore, objective this study was compare mean (MTSK) measurements using IRT in three situations:...

To evaluate the association of body image with physical activity level, composition, and sedentary behavior (SB) female adolescents.Exploratory cross-sectional study conducted 120 adolescents aged between 14-19 years, from city Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Southeast Brazil. Body was evaluated a Silhouette Scale (BSS) Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Weight, height, waist circumference values were analyzed, as well waist-to-height ratio fat percentage. The level (PAL) assessed by 24-hour Physical Activity...

Objective This study aimed to verify the validity of BAI in predicting %BF a sample Brazilian women Design and Methods A total 102 (average age 60.3 ± 9.8) were assessed. To determine percentage body fat (% BF), dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used as “gold standard.” evaluate association between adiposity index (BAI) % BF assessed by DXA, we Pearson's correlation coefficient. Paired t ‐test test differences mean DXA. concordance measured DXA estimated BAI, Lin's coefficient...

Lack of regular physical activity, high sedentary behavior and presence unbalanced alimentary practices are attitudes associated with an inadequate lifestyle among female adolescents. to assess the adolescents based on measurements behavioral variables. Cross-sectional study 405 between 14 19 years old, resident attending public schools in Viçosa (state Minas Gerais). Their was analyzed by Physical Activity Recall, number steps, screen time (ST), cellphone (CT), sitting time, food frequency...

Overweight is ever more prevalent in the pediatric population, and this cardiometabolic factor can be associated with inflammatory markers, gut microbiota composition, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations. The aim of study to evaluate what extent abundance phyla, SCFA concentrations, markers are elevated body fat percentage (BF%), overweight, obesity female adolescents.

Latent Class Analysis can assist researchers interested in a better understanding of behavioral patterns and their association with health outcomes. This study aimed to identify lifestyle latent classes related distinct domains physical activity (PA) sedentary behavior (SB) among adolescents cross-sectional included 217 Brazilian (15 18 years old, 49.3% female). The were based on moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA), light (LPA), number steps, (SB), screen time (ST). To assess these behaviors,...
