For instance, if someone needs to measure height to compute their Body Mass Index (BMI) and is uncertain about the measurement system required, they should record both values and convert them if necessary. To convert measurements, the following formulas can be used: Inches to centimeters: Multipl...
Results Analysis of 83 patient records, among whom 54 were male and 29 females, found the mean body mass index of 28.69 kg/m. Obese and non-obese groups were determined by using cut-off 30 kg/m. In the comparison between groups, the obese group had a positive and significant correlation...
Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories to keep you alive and functioning. It’s a generally accepted belief that as you age, your resting metabolism slows –especially over age 40. And if you are a woman in menopause, your metabolism slows even more. Not true,...
Guided by this dissociation, the final analyses assessed associations between alertness and the body’s glycemic food response Here, on days when an individual experienced a higher blood glucose response to that same standardised breakfast meal, the lower their levels of alertness that following morning...
[15]. It is also thought that the VE/VCO2slope calculated from data acquired below the ventilatory compensation point (i.e., VT2), determined from submaximal exercise, carries the same prognostic information as the VE/VCO2slope calculated from a maximal test. Clinicians have been interested in...
Table 4.Kt/V and nutrition as determined by BMI and body composition analysis. Neither parathormone serum concentration nor intradialytic weight gain (IDWG) were significantly associated with ERI in our study (ρ = −0.203;p= 0.076 and ρ = 0.059;p= 0.61, respectively; plots not shown). ...
the change in frequency of light or sound emitted by a moving object that in the astronomical world manifests as the so-calledredshift, the shift towards "redder", longer wavelengths in objects speeding away from us. In a leap of intuition, Rømer determined that light was taking measurable...
… net Na transport across the RPE is determined by the balance between: (1) Na secretion through the Na/K pump; and (2) Na absorption, which is driven by the transepithelial potential (TEP) through the paracellular pathway…. Since ion and fluid transport are tightly coupled, one would ...
Height and weight were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. All participants were asked to complete a control measures questionnaire to ensure adherence to pre-testing instructions (see Additional File 1: Table 1). This testing session was rescheduled if participants did not adhere...
External body shape is determined by its skeletal structure and the distributions of fat and muscle mass along its length1,45. It has previously been found that the distribution of body fat, especially visceral fat accumulation in the abdominal region, represent the most significant metabolic consequ...
