We examined bioelectrical impedance (Holtain BCA, UK), height, weight and pubertal stage (Tanner) in 388 children, aged 6 to 16 years.In girls, we found a significant increase in body fat percent (BF%) with age and pubertal maturation (p<0.01). In boys, there was no significant change...
However the sum of skinfold measurements in the children with did not differ from normal. Thus body fat percent of these children with was underestimated when calculated from body density and invalid when calculated from skinfold thickness. 展开 ...

We compared the optimal workload of Wingate test (WAnT), which was assigned according to total body mass (TBM), between two groups of eight young male adults. The leg anaerobic power and fat free mass of these two groups were comparable while their percent body fat was either within (NOR...
Body fat percentage (%BF), android-gynoid percent fat ratio (AG ratio), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were measured simultaneously using DXA CoreScan software. Those with MUHNW comprised 12.67% of the sample. Among those with MUHNW, 71.6% of the women and 56.5% of the men showed ...
Many children today live at an unhealthy weight. More than 12 percent of children aged 2 to 5 years have obesity, as are 17 percent of children aged 6 to 19, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Obesity increases a child's risk of emotional and physical heal...

A recent trial by the University of Texas found that diet soft drink users experienced 70 percent greater increases in waist circumference compared with non-users. A related study also found that aspartame raised blood sugar in diabetesprone mice. ...
part of the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,shows that slightly overweight or obese people were six percent less likely to die from all causes compared to people of normal weight.But the researchers found that seriously obese individuals were still at a 30percent greater risk of...
Results: Fifty eight percent of normal weight adolescents had simple nuclear families and 47% of overweight-obese adolescents had an extended family. Thirty one and 21% of overweight/obese and normal weight adolescents lived with an overweight/obese individual, respectively. Conclusions: There are ...
