HALLAL, P. C., C. G. VICTORA, J. K. WELLS, and R. LIMA. Physical Inactivity: Prevalence Associated Variables in Brazilian Adults. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 35, No. 11, pp. 1894–1900, 2003. Purpose To measure the prevalence of physical inactivity, variables associated with it, an adult southern population. Methods Population-based cross-sectional study covering a multiple-stage sample 3182 subjects aged 20 yr or more. activity was assessed through short version International Activity...
Background Previous studies have been unable to characterise the association between physical activity and obesity, possibly because most relied on inaccurate measures of obesity. Methods Findings We carried out a cross sectional analysis 5,500 12-year-old children enrolled in Avon Longitudinal Study Parents Children. Total minutes moderate vigorous (MVPA) were measured using Actigraph accelerometer. Fat mass obesity (defined as top decile fat mass) Lunar Prodigy dual x-ray emission...
Total daily energy expenditure ("total expenditure") reflects needs and is a critical variable in human health physiology, but its trajectory over the life course poorly studied. We analyzed large, diverse database of total measured by doubly labeled water method for males females aged 8 days to 95 years. increased with fat-free mass power-law manner, four distinct stages. Fat-free mass-adjusted accelerates rapidly neonates ~50% above adult values at ~1 year; declines slowly levels ~20...
Background: Objective methods can improve accuracy of physical activity measurement in field studies but uncertainties remain about their use. Methods: Children age 11 years from the Avon Longitudinal Study Parents and (ALSPAC), were asked to wear a uni-axial accelerometer (MTI Actigraph) for 7 days. Results: Of 7159 children who attended assessment, 5595 (78%) provided valid measures. The reliability coefficient 3 days recording was .7 power detect difference 0.07 SDs ( P ≤ .05) > 90%....
Tackling severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a global health priority. Heightened risk of non-communicable diseases (NCD) in children exposed to SAM at around 2 years age plausible view previously described consequences other early nutritional insults. By applying developmental origins and disease (DOHaD) theory this group, we aimed explore the long-term effects SAM.
There is increasing interest in body composition paediatric research, as distinct from growth and nutritional status, almost all diseases have adverse effects on either fatness or the fat-free mass. However, approaches used to assess status are not appropriate for separate evaluations of lean Traditional measurements such mass index skinfold thickness do measure fat accurate quantitative terms. Various techniques been recent years which divide weight into mass; however, data tend be...
▪ Abstract The genus Homo as represented by ergaster (= early African erectus) is characterized a pattern of features that more similar to modern humans than the earlier and contemporaneous australopithecines paranthropines. These include larger relative brain sizes, bodies, slower rates growth maturation, dedicated bipedal locomotion, smaller teeth jaws. are phenotypic expressions very different lifestyle for earliest members Homo. This paper considers energetic correlates emergence...
