AIM:To evaluate the effect of resistance training (RT) on non alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) patients. METHODS:A randomized clinical trial enrolling NAFLD patients without secondary (e.g. , hepatitis B virus, C virus or excessive alcohol consumption).Patients were randomly allocated either to RT, three times weekly, for 3 mo a control arm consisting home stretching.The RT included leg press, chest seated rowing, latissimus pull down etc. with 8-12 repetitions, sets each exercise, total...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is suspected to confer an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes (DM). However, only a few prospective studies evaluated NAFLD as predictor DM, most did not adjust the full range of potential cofounders and none used objectively quantified degree steatosis. Our aim was evaluate independent role in predicting development pre-DM 7-year follow-up healthy volunteers.A cohort subsample Israeli National Health Survey at baseline after 7 years by...
AIMTo describe the relationships between non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease (NAFLD) patient's consequences and treatment perceptions, self-efficacy, healthy lifestyle maintenance.
Aging and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are associated with an increased risk of sarcopenia. Diagnosis sarcopenia is commonly done using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in specialized settings. Another available method for assessing body composition direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSMF-BIA). Here, we examine the accuracy a DSMF-BIA (InBody-770) older adults T2DM when compared to DXA.Eighty-four obese/overweight (49 women, 71 ± 5 years) who were recruited...
This study evaluated the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT), a vegetarian/Mediterranean diet (VegMedD), and empagliflozin on Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) in older adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). 67 participants from CEV-65 trial (≥65 years, 61 % female) were randomly assigned to CRT, VegMedD, or for 10 weeks. Assessments included RMR, medical, metabolic, nutritional, anthropometric functional measurements. RMR changes analyzed using paired t-tests, effect sizes, repeated...
We aimed to examine the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and metabolic syndrome (MS) components as a function of age gender across weight categories.This cross-sectional study included 19,328 subjects who participated in health-screening program. analyzed 14,093 apparently healthy with BMI ≥ 18.5 kg/m2 (ranging from 46 kg/m2).At kg/m2, 16% had one or more MS (MS 1). The number increased linearly BMI. most prevalent for MS1-4 were hypertension (in men) waist circumference women)....
Abstract Until recently, weight loss in older obese people was feared because of ensuing muscle and frailty. Facing overall increasing longevity, high rates obesity individuals (age ≥ 65 years) a growing recognition the health functional cost number years, abetted by evidence that intentional is safe, this approach gradually, but not unanimously, being replaced more active principles. Lifestyle interventions include reduced sufficient energy intake, age-adequate protein micronutrient coupled...
Treatment of the older diabetic individual comprises a therapeutic challenge. Currently little scientific evidence exists depicting best approach to type 2 diabetes treatment in this growing sub-population patients. The purpose study is assess effects modified plant-based Mediterranean diet ("vegeterranean" diet), circuit resistance training (CRT) and empagliflozin, separately or combination, on body composition physical function subjects with diabetes. rationale for three interventions...
Purpose: Chronic gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) with sublingual estradiol (SLE) has not been studied. We aimed to compare GAHT SLE only, combined oral (CO) and cyproterone acetate, in treatment-naive trans women. Methods: Twenty-two women enrolled into either the CO arm or SLE-only (0.5 mg four times daily) this 6-month prospective study. Anthropometric laboratory variables were collected at baseline 3 6 months. At study beginning end, body composition was measured by dual-energy...
Increasing longevity presents new social and medical challenges in developed countries. The prevalence of frailty is interest because its association with health prognosis outcomes, but so far there no single best diagnostic tool for this entity. Therefore, estimated countries varies considerably ranges between 5% 58%. In Israel, the nation-wide elderly population presently unknown. objective our study was to assess rate Israelis.A post-hoc analysis based on results a national Health...
Purpose: Unwanted weight loss is one of the established criteria for diagnosis frailty. However, relevance this criterion to detect frailty in obese older adults has not been assessed. In particular, with exception malignancy, unwanted commonly seen subjects. Therefore, we tested possibility that some obesity phenotypes and/or diabetes might be more useful detection setting. Patients and methods: A preliminary cross-sectional study 50 consecutive subjects was conducted at The Institute...
In the treatment of obesity/metabolic syndrome, dietary measures traditionally focus on reducing carbohydrate/fat-related caloric intake. The possibility that changes in potassium consumption may be related to achieved weight loss has not been previously explored.Sixty-eight participants, with a mean age 51.6 ± 11.0 years (F/M-30/38), who fulfilled ATPIII criteria for metabolic syndrome (MS) were enrolled into 1-year intensive multidisciplinary program. Nutritional recommendation consisted...
