Abstract Background Whole-body hydration status is associated with several health outcomes, such as dehydration, edema and hypertension, but little known about the nonclinical determinants. Therefore, we studied associations of sex, age, body composition, nutrition, physical activity on measures. Methods We assessed sociodemographic variables, dietary habits, by questionnaire composition bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA). compared determinants between sexes calculated BIVA measures...

Intuitive eating (IE) is an adaptive behavior that involves paying attention to the body's physiological signals, including when hungry and stopping feeling full. A growing body of literature has examined effect IE on development maladaptive behaviors weight, even though not centered around latter.

3D laser-based photonic scanners are increasingly used in health studies to estimate body composition. However, too little is known about whether various scan measures composition better than single standard anthropometric measures, and which scans best it. Furthermore, differences by sex age.105 men 96 women aged between 18 90 years were analysed. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis was whole relative fat mass (RFM), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) skeletal muscle index (SMI). An Anthroscan...

The present pilot study investigated the effect of Teriparatide 1-34 rh-PTH (TPT) in young women diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN), and markedly compromised Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Patients were included who had (i) very low BMD (defined as Z-Score < - 2.5 or T-Score if available) at least one assessed localizations (lumbar spine L1-L4, total hip, femoral neck) without any previous fragility fracture; (ii) bone mineral density 1.5 fracture. Ten patients an age range 21-33 recruited...

The aim of the present study was to examine role diet-related compensatory behavior in healthy weight management regarding diet quality, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI) over time a non-clinical general population. Data were based on first third waves Swiss Food Panel 2.0 survey, which included questions about food consumption frequencies constructs measuring strategies. examined using principal component analysis correlation analyses psychometric properties adapted items,...

To further investigate the effects of positive eating on health, present study focused associations Positive Eating Scale (PES, Pleasure when and Satisfaction with subscales) behaviors, food intake, body mass index (BMI) in a large sample general Swiss population. Participants (T1: n = 2795, 46.7 % men; T2: 1931, 46.5 men) mean age 60 (SD 16) years at T1 (2019) 62 15) T2 (2021) completed Food Panel 2.0 paper-and-pencil questionnaire which included PES, BMI. The results showed that both...

Research has reported that both men and women experience body dissatisfaction. Among other instruments, a widely used method to assess perceived size dissatisfaction are figure rating scales. Although variety of illustration methods (e.g., three-dimensional, or 3D, models line-drawing models) have been create these scales, date, they not directly compared one another. Thus, in the first study, which includes 511 participants at mean age 46 years old (range: 20-70), present research work aims...
