“the disease in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may be adversely affected” and selected a BMI of 30 as the bottom threshold for defining obesity. That BMI, the WHO and other public health experts determined, is the point at which a significant uptick ...
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...
Statistical analyses included Mann-Whitney U and multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined threshold values for ODI improvement and postoperative target ODI indicative of patient satisfaction.Results. A total of 383 ...
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,...
(s) then explain the even larger between-individual variability in levels of alertness. For example, is this set-point of daytime alertness across individuals genetically determined, and thus inherently fixed for each individual. Or rather, is this alertness set-point across the population influenced...
… 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 ...
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...
[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...
