The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that youths with obesity, when removed from structured school activities and confined their homes during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, will display unfavorable trends in lifestyle behaviors.The sample included 41 children adolescents obesity participating a longitudinal observational located Verona, Italy. Lifestyle information including diet, activity, sleep behaviors collected at baseline 3 weeks into national lockdown which home...
Abstract Objective: Intra‐abdominal fat has been identified as being the most clinically relevant type of in humans. Therefore, an assessment body‐fat distribution could possibly identify subjects with highest risk adverse lipid profile and hypertension. Few data on relationship between cardiovascular factors are available children, especially before puberty. Research Methods Procedures: This cross‐sectional study was undertaken to explore anthropometric variables, concentrations, blood...
Objective. National health guidelines advocate increased physical activity in children and adolescents, but specific goals are not being achieved. Data needed on variables that influence children’s decision to be active or sedentary. Methods. We tested the association of weight criticism during (WCA) with attitudes toward reported levels children. also whether these associations were moderated by ability cope criticism. Subjects 576 fifth- through eighth-graders who completed a questionnaire...
Body mass index (BMI) is used to diagnose obesity in adolescents worldwide, despite evidence that weight does not scale with height squared adolescents. To account for this, health care providers using BMI percentiles each age (BMI z scores), but this ensure accurate adolescents.To compare the accuracy of vs other body fat indices form divided by heightn estimating levels adolescents.Cross-sectional data from 1999 2006 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed between...
Hydroxycitric acid, the active ingredient in herbal compound Garcinia cambogia, competitively inhibits extramitochondrial enzyme adenosine triphosphate-citrate (pro-3S)-lyase. As a citrate cleavage that may play an essential role de novo lipogenesis inhibition, G cambogia is claimed to lower body weight and reduce fat mass humans.To evaluate efficacy of for loss overweight human subjects.Twelve-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.Outpatient control research...
ABSTRACT The natural history and pathogenic potential of the recently identified TT virus (TTV) are currently a matter intensive investigation. In an attempt to shed some light on these issues, nasal blood specimens 1- 24-month-old children hospitalized with clinical diagnosis acute respiratory disease (ARD) were examined for presence, load, genetic characteristics TTV. results have indicated that at least in young children, tract not only represents route by which abundant TTV can be into...
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is rapidly gaining acceptance as a reference method for analyzing body composition. An important and unresolved concern whether to what extent variation in soft tissue hydration causes errors DXA fat estimates. The present study aim was develop validate physical model then apply this by simulating arising from hypothetical overhydration states. developed first linking biological substance elemental content with photon attenuation. validated next...
