Purpose: To determine the prevalence, healthcare resource utilization and costs (HCRU&C) of knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients versus controls. Patients Methods: Retrospective, matched-cohort administrative claims analysis using IBM MarketScan databases (2011– 2017). Newly diagnosed, adult (18+ yrs) OA identified by ICD9/10 code were matched 1:1 to controls age, sex, payer, geography; alpha level set 0.05. Prevalence was estimated for 2017. All-cause OA-related HCRU&C reported...
Physical activity (PA) is critical for maximizing bone development during growth. However, there no consensus on how well existing PA measurement tools predict strength.The purposes of this study were to compare four methods quantifying (pedometer, 3-d recall (3DPAR), bone-specific questionnaire (BPAQ), and past year (PYPAQ)), in young girls evaluate their ability indices strength.A total 329 aged 8-13 yr completed a pedometer assessment, the 3DPAR, BPAQ, modified PYPAQ. Peripheral...
Poor muscle quality and sedentary behavior are risk factors for metabolic dysfunction in children adolescents. However, because longitudinal data scarce, relatively little is known about how changes physical activity influence bone development.In a 2-yr study, we examined the effects of on parameters young girls.The sample included 248 healthy girls age 9-12 yr at baseline. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography was used to measure calf thigh density, an indicator skeletal fat content...
Childhood overweight and obesity remains high, contributing to cardiometabolic risk factors at younger ages. It is unclear which measures of adiposity serve as the best proxies for identifying children metabolic risk. This study assessed whether DXA-derived direct are more strongly related in than indirect measures. Anthropometric DXA a comprehensive assessment were obtained 288, 9–12 year old girls, most being Hispanic ethnicity. Multiple regression models each parameter run against measure...
Accumulation of visceral fat (VF) in children increases the risk cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, measurement VF using computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is expensive. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) may provide a low-cost alternative. This study aims to determine if DXA estimates can accurately estimate young girls, adding anthropometry would improve other measures, with without anthropometry, could be used girls.Visceral was measured at lumbar...
Abstract Objective In adults, certain body fat depots have greater impact on cardiometabolic risk than total adiposity. Whether similar relationships exist in children is uncertain. The aim of this study was to examine the among dual x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures distribution and adiposity with factors Hispanic girls. Methods Measures percent fat, within android, gynoid, leg, trunk regions, biomarkers (insulin, glucose, homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR),...
In Brief LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Describe whole body vibration exercise. Understand the rationale for use of current evidence in support exercise clinical populations. basic guidelines prescription Vibration exercise, which has gained popularity athletic training and fitness settings, may be an efficacious alternative form patients with neurological musculoskeletal conditions. This article gives overview discusses underlying its populations, summarizes literature.
An understanding of body composition is crucial to human health, disease, and function. Research in has focused on the development assessment methods, description normal changes with growth aging, that occur response challenges ranging from illness planned interventions. Each focus significant, a sense, they are interdependent, because technological advances allow more sophisticated questions be addressed, which turn drives better methods. Significant have been made each area, although...
The purpose of our study was to characterize the vibration delivered by a whole-body (WBV) exercise platform and quantify acceleration transmissibility throughout body during different WBV exercises. Our accelerometry-based experimental setup, includes materials methods for assessing frequencies corresponding magnitudes both at side-alternating on multiple anatomic landmarks subject's body. Fourteen subjects completed sequence four exercises frequencies. Results have shown that...
Abstract Body composition may be a better predictor of chronic disease risk than body mass index (BMI) in older populations. Objectives We sought to validate spine fat fraction (%) from dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans as proxy for total abdominal fat. Methods Total DXA scan regions interest (ROI) that have been previously validated by magnetic resonance imaging were assessed among healthy, postmenopausal women who also had antero‐posterior ( n = 103). ROIs (1) lumbar vertebrae...
The purpose of this study was to test the impact a short‐term group fitness intervention on body weight, percent fat, and attitude toward physical activity in college students. Twenty sedentary students (mean age 20.4±1.4 yr) were classified as healthy or overweight (BMI >25 kg/m 2 ) and, then randomized into exercise control groups. participated four aerobic classes per week for 4 weeks, while subjects remained sedentary. Percent fat measured by BodPod via questionnaire at baseline end...
Objective: This study aimed to compare total and regional estimates of body composition, by direct indirect techniques, for the optimal prediction C‐reactive protein (CRP) among young (aged 9‐12 years) Hispanic girls ( N = 232). Methods: Standard anthropometric techniques were used measure height, weight, waist circumference. Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) assessed composition. Fasting serum CRP was measured AU5812 Clinical Chemistry...
Adiposity has been associated with cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors in children, but whether moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) affects the association remains unclear. PURPOSE To determine if MVPA modifies associations between total body fat (TBF) and CVD biomarkers of C‐reactive protein (CRP); (TC), LDL, HDL cholesterol; triglycerides (TG), glucose girls aged 9‐12 years (N=95). METHODS Fasting serum CRP was measured by high‐sensitivity nephelometric bead‐based immunoassay;...
BACKGROUND Total and site‐specific adiposity, such as visceral skeletal muscle fat, have been associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in adults, but data are lacking for youth. Calorically dense diets major contributors to the development of childhood obesity metabolic diseases. OBJECTIVE To assess relationships between diet quality (DQ), measured by Youth Healthy Eating Index (YHEI), physical activity (PA), measures total adiposity 211 healthy girls aged 8‐13 years. METHODS...
PURPOSE: Whole body vibration (WBV) exercise is a novel type of training whose effects on composition have not been extensively studied. It known that WBV can potentiate muscle activity and enhance strength gains traditional resistance (RT). Our aim was to compare the 12-week lower extremity RT protocol with without fat mass (FM) lean (FFM) in healthy young adults. METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned an intervention (IG, n=18) or control group (CG, n=16). Only subjects any last year...
BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle fat infiltration (SMFI) is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. Insufficient calcium (Ca) intake common in youth and has been the development of obesity lower bone mineral content. Dairy (DC) better absorbed compared to other dietary sources (OC) linked decreased adiposity. OBJECTIVE To examine cross‐sectional (CS) longitudinal (L) relationships between DC OC BMI, total body percentage (BF), android percent (AF), SMFI 201 healthy girls aged 8–13 years. METHODS...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution load, frequency, and duration physical activity (PA) bone geometry strength in young girls. METHODS: 396 girls (aged 8-13 yrs) completed a modified past year questionnaire (PYPAQ), which inquires about frequency leisure-time PA sport participation. Load (peak strain score) values were assigned each based on ground reaction force data. Scores calculated for component (load, duration) total PYPAQ score (load × duration)....
