Previous research shows that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience several difficulties—including those related to eating—and this area of needs be explored further. This study had two main objectives: (1) comparison the clinical (autism disorder) and non-clinical sample in terms avoidant/restrictive food disorder, neophobia, other eating-related behaviours feeding practices; (2) assessment selected predictors neophobia. The final included 54 parents from 51 sample....

The link between scoliotic deformity and body composition assessed with bioimpedance (BIA) has not been well researched. objective of this study was to correlate the extent scoliotic-curve severity anthropometrical status patients idiopathic scoliosis (IS) based on standard anthropometric measurements BIA. encompassed 279 IS (224 girls/55 boys), aged 14.21 ± 2.75 years. Scoliotic curve by Cobb’s angle categorized as moderate (10°–39°) or severe (≥40°). Corrected height, weight, waist hip...

Body composition changes during childhood and adolescence. It is markedly different in children with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). This study was carried out to assess the nutritional status of patients IS based on standard anthropometric indices bioimpedance measurements (BIA).59 (45 girls/ 14 boys) at a mean age 13.37 ± 2.67 years were qualified into study. Scoliotic curves assessed radiographically by measuring Cobb's angle apical vertebral rotation (AVR, standing A-P view). Height, weight,...

Cel pracy Celem była ocena poziomu stresu u dzieci i młodzieży ze skoliozą idiopatyczną (SI), leczonych zachowawczo metodą Dobosiewicz (DoboMed), w korelacji do parametrów klinicznych konieczności stosowania terapii za pomocą gorsetu. Metoda Grupę badaną (GB) stanowiło 63 pacjentów (54 dziewczęta) o średniej wieku 14,7 lat. Wszyscy objęci badaniem byli leczeni DoboMed, a 31 stosowało także gorset (ortozę). W analizie wzięto pod uwagę stan odżywienia (BMI Z-score) pacjentów, wiek diagnozy,...

Vitamin D deficiency in children is a common nutritional issue many populations worldwide, associated not only with skeletal malformations but, as recent studies suggest, also the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome. The aim this observational study was to assess status vitamin group Polish different grades syndrome, consequent analysis correlation between levels components For that purpose, 78 participants (mean age: 14.18 ± 2.67 years) recruited further grouped relation into two...

The link between scoliotic deformity and bone metabolism in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has not been well researched. Moreover, the data concerning cross-talk fat tissue content/hormonal activity markers this group of patients are lacking. aim study was to assess whether there exists a significant relationship severity AIS turnover leptin levels. consisted 77 girls, aged 14.7 ± 2.17 years. Scoliotic curve assessed by Cobb’s angle categorized as mild (10–19°), moderate (20–39°), or...

Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have many potential factors (spasticity, immobilization, glucocorticoids use) for the deterioration of body composition. Aim: To assess nutritional status (by classical anthropometry and by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)) in MS patients to correlate it clinical state, duration time presence glucocorticoid therapy anamnesis (ever used). Methods: Anthropometrical (BMI waist hip circumferences, waist-to-height ratio (W/HtR), waist-to-hip...

Background and objectives: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have many potential risk factors (spasticity, immobilization, glucocorticoids use) which can deteriorate the anthropometrical status body composition may a negative impact on functional mobility basic motor skill improvement after physiotherapy. The aim of study was to assess skills in patients MS correlate them disability parameters. Materials Methods: Timed Up-and-Go Test (TUG) six-min walk test (6MWT) were performed 36...

Background Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have many potential factors (disease duration, spasticity, immobilization, or glucocorticoid use) that can deteriorate their nutritional status and impact both the progression prognosis of disease. Body mass index (BMI), most widely used assessment tool, has important limitations because it does not provide any data on body composition. Aim This study aimed to assess interrelationship between by (BMI) composition using bioelectrical impedance...

The aim of the study was to determine predictors sexual activity and function in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods For a total of 317 IS patients (240 girls and 77 boys), mean age 14.11±2.79y, the scoliotic curve was assessed by Cobbs angle vertebra rotation (AVR). Height, weight, waist hip circumferences were measured BMI, BMI Z-score, waist/height ratio (WHtR) waist/ (WHR) calculated for entire group. Body composition parameters, such as fat mass (FAT), fat-free (FMM), predicted muscle (PMM) body water (TBW), evaluated using bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Nutritional status classified...

Posturografia jest jedną z obiektywnych metod służących do oceny układu równowagi człowieka. Równowaga człowieka to zdolność utrzymywania pionowego rzutu środka masy ciała (<i>center of mass</i> – COM) w polu powierzchni podparcia (<i>base support</i> BOS).
