Background Visceral obesity is associated with higher occurrence of cardiovascular events. There are few studies about the accuracy anthropometric clinical indicators, using Computed Tomography (CT) as gold standard. We aimed to determine indicators for discrimination visceral obesity. Methods Cross-sectional study 191 adults and elderly both sexes. Variables: area adipose tissue (VAT) identified by CT, Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), Conicity index (C index), Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP)...
A busca por métodos de estimativa da composição corporal é uma preocupação constante comunidade científica, com vistas à obtenção um acurado diagnóstico do estado nutricional indivíduos e populações. bioimpedância elétrica tem sido alternativa atraente na avaliação corporal, pela possibilidade se trabalhar equipamento não invasivo, portátil, fácil manuseio, boa reprodutibilidade e, portanto, viável para a prática clínica estudos epidemiológicos. Sua utilização, que como finalidade determinar...
To evaluate the association of Hypertriglyceridemic waist with metabolic disorders and visceral fat in adults.Cross-sectional study 191 individuals both sexes. Subjects were grouped according to Waist Circumference (WC) ratings (Men: > 90 cm; Women: 80 cm) triglycerides (TG) (> 150 mg/dl) Group 1 (HTW Phenotype): elevated WC TG; 2 (absence HTW normal TG or TG. Metabolic alternations, adipose tissue (VAT) visceral/subcutaneous index (VF/SF) measured by computed tomography evaluated as...

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Adiposity indicators can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk in the elderly. However, there are only a very few studies that deal with accuracy adiposity metabolic syndrome (MS) We evaluated performance MS prediction <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional study 203 elderly people both genders. Variables: defined by harmonized criteria, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), conicity index...
To assess the nutritional status of elderly living in nursing homes city Salvador, Brazil and associated factors.Cross-sectional study performed with 359 individuals both sexes, ages equal or over 60 years old, located Nursing Homes urban area Bahia, Brazil.Regarding according to Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), 66.3% evaluated were malnourished at risk malnutrition. When comparing it has been observed that among men prevalence this condition (76.6%) was higher than women (62.4%). It...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação entre bioimpedância elétrica (BIA) e gordura visceral (GV) em adultos idosos. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, 191 indivíduos (52% mulheres, 49% idosos), estratificados por sexo, grupo etário massa corporal. Obtiveram-se dados sobre tomografia computadorizada (área de GV) BIA (percentual corporal total (%GCT-BIA), ângulo fase, reactância resistência). Análise estatística: Coeficiente Correlação Pearson, Anova, Qui-quadrado Curva ROC. RESULTADOS: Áreas GV...
Identifying anthropometric methods of abdominal adiposity, predictors excess area visceral adipose tissue (VAT) allows rapid and low cost evaluation for the risk cardiovascular diseases in elderly.To evaluate discriminatory power indicators detection VAT.Cross-sectional study comprising 194 adults elderly individuals comparison both sexes age groups. Anthropometric variables: waist-to-height Ratio (WHtR), waist-tothigh (WTR), Abdominal Diameter Index (ADI) Sagittal Height (SAD/Height). The...
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the utility of phase angle as a screening tool for sarcopenia. Methods performed cross-sectional study that included 169 active community-dwelling elderly women. The was determined using tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance, and sarcopenia diagnosed based on skeletal muscle mass, strength, physical performance impedance analysis, handheld dynamometer, gait speed test, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to investigate role predictor...
To evaluate the association between some indicators of adiposity and markers metabolic disorder, their performance in predicting syndrome (MetS), identify cutoff values among older adults, both overall sample according to sex.Cross-sectional study 159 men women. MetS was defined harmonized criteria. The assessments included waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), conicity index (C index), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral (VAI), body mass (BMI), A shape (ABSI), area...
OBJECTIVE: To compare different equations to estimate body weight and height in older adults determine which ones provide the most reliable estimates. METHODS: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at a health clinic Lagarto, Sergipe, Brazil. The sample consisted of men women who were able walk. We measured weight, height, knee calf circumference, arm waist half span, subscapular skinfold thickness. Then, we used that sample. results compared with actual measures their level...
The accuracy of methods to determine resting energy expenditure (REE) contributes toward the adequate provision nutrition support hospitalized patients. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is considered gold-standard method REE. aim this study evaluate degree agreement between REE measured by IC (REE-IC) and estimated predictive equations in intensive care unit patients.The sample made up patients aged >18 years, both male female, undergoing therapy. estimate were Harris Benedict (HB), Ireton Jones...
The accumulation of visceral fat is strongly associated with cardiometabolic changes. Alternative methods, such as the association between anthropometric indicators and hypertriglyceridemia, are used best estimate for fat, preventing cardiovascular diseases. aim this study was to evaluate hypertriglyceridemia in prediction men women. This a cross-sectional conducted 192 individuals, both genders, submitted evaluation (sagittal abdominal diameter [SAD], waist circumference [WC], waist-hip...
Introduction: adolescents' health and nutritional status is demonstrated in the quality of their growth development. Bone age (BA) skeletal development index, which reflects an individual's maturation considered as best expression human Poor conditions, extend for long periods, may influence bone development, causing a delay BA, relation to chronological (CA). The aim this study evaluating between body mass index age. Methods: cross-sectional carried out with 172 adolescents. variables...
Context: Bell's palsy (BP) is an idiopathic, acute peripheral-nerve involving the facial nerve.BP patients usually present muscular hypotonia, altering expression.These changes can lead to functional insufficiencies and psychological changes.Electrical stimulation (ES) help prevent muscle atrophy, as well promote tissue healing, contributing recovery from paralysis.Objective: Review effectiveness of application ES in treatment BP.Data Sources: The search was carried out PubMed databases,...
