Objective To compare the different effects of body mass index (BMI) and lean body mass index (LBMI) on the risk of all-cause death among elderly Chinese individuals. For the more scientific, accurate and convenient measurement of the elderly physique,...
It is concluded that low FFM and SMM indexes among disabled nursing home residents are far better predictors than BMI for 1-year mortality estimation. Introduction Overweight in non-elderly populations is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity, hypertension and diabetes (Adams et al., 2006, ...
Like any of these types of measures it is only a guide, and other issues such as body type and shape have a bearing as well. Remember, BMI is just a guide - it does not accurately apply to elderly populations, pregnant women or very muscular athletes such as weight lifters....
Body composition was assessed in a group of 35 apparently health elderly males and 37 elderly females, aged 60-83 years, by means of anthropometry and densitometry. Mean body mass index (BMI) of the males was 25.0 +/- 2.2 kg/m2 and of th... P Deurenberg,KVD Kooy,T Hulshof,... -...
The equations for calculating BF% and SM% were derived in studies of predominantly Caucasian adults, but with few elderly individuals [2, 16]. The HSE and SHS databases used in the present study also comprise mostly Caucasians (86.2%), so the anthropometric equations are likely to be ...
BMI does not differentiate between muscle and fat and will therefore underestimate in some and overestimate for others (e.g. An athlete may have a high BMI because of greater amount of muscle rather than fat). Disabled or elderly people have less muscle mass and therefore will have a lower ...
Compared to males, females lost more lateral tibial cartilage with increasing age (0.023%/year, 95% CI 0.003 to 0.043%, p = 0.024 for interaction). Conclusions: Tibial cartilage volume declines at a faster rate with increasing age and body mass index in both males ...
albeit in a young adult population. It remains to be investigated whether these gender-specific ethnic differences between Indians and Creoles are already present in children/adolescents and if they persist in the older (middle-age/elderly) population groups. In this context, it should be pointed ...
Supplementary Material 1: Association between SUA and osteoporosis/osteopenia in females (excluding females removing both ovaries and females with both ovaries removed). A restricted cubic spline was modeled. Analysis was adjusted for age, race, body mass index (BMI), high-density lipoprotein, alanine...
