ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to compare total and regional body composition their relationship with glucose homeostasis in physically active non-active individuals cervical spinal cord injury (c-SCI).MethodsIndividuals lesion level between C5–C7 were divided into two groups: (PA; n = 14; who practiced physical exercise for at least 3 months, three times per week or more, minimum 150 minutes/week): non-physically (N-PA 8). Total fat mass (t-FM) (r-FM) assessed by dual energy X-ray...
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) has high metabolic activity and secretes a larger number of adipokines that are related to the inflammatory process. Quantifying VAT could estimate risk developing Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). This study was designed determine cut-off points assessed by DXA associated with MetS in military men. In total, 270 (37.5 ± 6.9 years) men from Brazilian Army (BA) participated study. Anthropometric measurements, assessment body composition dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA),...
A maior fragilidade e o consequente aumento do risco de fraturas que caracterizam a osteoporose são derivados dos processos perda massa óssea deterioração microestrutural ao longo tempo. Esses têm origem complexa multifatorial, com reconhecida influência predominante fatores genéticos. Em função os tratamentos disponíveis não restauram significativamente osso já perdido, existe um crescente interesse na prevenção da doença. Garantir condições favoráveis para ritmo adequado aquisição...
ABSTRACT Introduction It has been suggested that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with several non-communicable chronic diseases, but measuring it difficult. Thus, anthropometry could be used because easily applied in clinical practice. Objectives The present study aimed to develop and validate VAT estimation equations (Eq) military men. Methods sample consisted of 409 (mean age, 36.5 ± 6.7 years) men the Brazilian Army (BA) divided into an equation group (EG) ( n = 270; mean 37.0...
The study aim was to assess bone mineral density (BMD) and turnover in pre- postmenopausal women with severe obesity. Additionally, we explored the association between soft tissue body composition BMD according menopausal status. This is a cross-sectional conducted (n = 37) 22) morbid obese (BMI >40 kg/cm2) women. Body at different sites (lumbar spine, proximal femur forearm) were assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Biochemical markers of metabolism (serum CTX osteocalcin)...
We evaluated bone mass adequacy and its association with waist hip circumferences in Brazilian post‐menopausal women stratified by self‐reported skin color. Participants (n=161, mean age 57y) were part of a university staff cohort at Rio de Janeiro (the Pró‐Saúde study). Bone mineral content (BMC) density (BMD) total body (TB), lumbar spine (L1‐L4), (TH) femoral neck (FN) assessed DXA. Waist measured using standard methods. Differences between color groups (black, n=48; brown, n=47 white,...
The aim of the study was to evaluate influence physical exercise practice on serum concentrations 25(OH)D and PTH in spinal cord injured adult men (19–56 y, n = 25). Hours training per week were estimated by using a self‐reported questionnaire. Serum intact assessed chemiluminescent enzyme‐labeled immunometric assay. varied range between 27.5–107.5 nmol/L, being 15 subjects below 75 nmol/L 3 50 nmol/L. iPTH average 44.9 ± 15.0 pg/mL correlated negatively with (r= −0.45, P<0.05). 9 11...
Physical inactivity represents a public health problem in an endemic obesity scenario worldwide. Therefore, it is relevant to estimate the energy cost of daily activities for nutritional and physical activity assessment guidance. PURPOSE: To measure expenditure (EE) sedentary (typing) (organizing bookshelves, climbing up down stairs walking pleasure exercise) compare results with ones estimated from Compendium Activities (CAF) FAO/WHO tables. METHODS: Data are 80 adult subjects (age ≥ 20...
