The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) reflected body compositional changes with aging. This study was to investigate the association of WWI abdominal fat and muscle mass in a diverse race/ethnic population.Computed tomography (CT) data from 1,946 participants for areas Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis (785 Whites, 252 Asians, 406 African American, 503 Hispanics) were used. Among them, 595 underwent repeated CT. calculated as circumference (cm) divided by square root weight (kg)....

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to improve cardiometabolic health during supervised lab-based studies but adherence, enjoyment, and benefits of HIIT performed independently are yet be understood. We compared outcomes after 8 weeks or moderate-intensity continuous (MICT), matched for energy expenditure, in overweight obese young adults.

Purpose Physical activity is associated with decreased adiposity-related inflammation in adults. Whether this association independent of central obesity unknown but important for understanding the mechanisms reducing cardiometabolic disease risk through physical activity. This study examined whether associations and obesity-related inflammatory markers were adiposity. Methods Between 2002 2005, 1970 participants from Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis completed detailed health history...

The relationships between sex hormone levels and muscle composition in postmenopausal women remain underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional observational study utilizing data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Our analysis included 682 aged 45-84 years with complete data, mean age 63.3 years. Using abdominal computed tomography, assessed area (cm2) radiodensity (Hounsfield units) relation to serum testosterone (total free), estradiol, binding globulin...

The aim of this study was to investigate differences between estimates sedentary behavior and physical activity (PA) from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) accelerometry in undergraduate students. 91 students participated study. Sedentary PA were objectively measured by an accelerometer for 7 days then self-reported with IPAQ. Partial correlations used assess associations among variables participant characteristics methods. Agreement assessed via Bland–Altman method....

Alterations in the composition of gut microbiota is thought to play a key role causing type 2 diabetes, yet not fully understood, especially at strain level. Here, we used long-read DNA sequencing technology 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes for high-resolution characterization development diabetes. Gut was characterized from fecal 47 participants divided into 4 cohorts based on glycemic control: normal control (healthy;

Background Muscle density is inversely associated with all‐cause mortality, but associations cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are not well understood. This study evaluated the association between muscle and area incident total CVD, coronary heart (CHD), stroke in diverse men women. Methods Results Adult participants (N=1869) Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Ancillary Body Composition underwent computer tomography scans L2‐L4 region abdomen. was quantified by (Hounsfield units) cm 2 ....

Objective: Evidence of significant oxygen requirements for ventilation during exercise (exercise hyperpnoea) prompted the investigation into whether cost affects presence a whole‐body VO 2 plateau at maximal exercise. The purposes this study were to: (i) use isocapnic hyperpnoea trials to determine (VO 2VENT ) across range (V E ); (ii) mean expressed as percentage max; and (iii) if in is more evident when subtracted from Methods: A total 21 subjects performed max test on cycle ergometer V...

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is pervasive and debilitating in the sport of cycling. Currently, little known about underlying mechanism causing patellofemoral cyclists.The purpose this study was to determine whether temporal differences muscle activity vastus medialis (VM), lateralis (VL), semitendinosus (ST), biceps femoris (BF) were correlated cycling.Ten healthy cyclists (six women four men, height = 1.74 ± 0.10 cm, weight 71.9 16.5 kg, cycling experience 199.5 82 miles · wk(-1))...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations of markers insulin resistance with cardiovascular disease risk factors and inflammation in young, normal-weight, Hispanic women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Seventy-one normal-weight (BMI <25 kg/m2) women (age, 20–39 years) participated a fasting blood draw for glucose, insulin, lipids, inflammatory markers; glucose tolerance test; anthropometric pressure measurements; body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; measurements...
