A BMI of 23.5 kg/m(2) for women and 22.5 kg/m(2) for men provided the highest sensitivity and specificity (60%). The finding was consistent in different age groups. A BMI level of 25 kg/m(2) provided lower sensitivities (36% for women and 29% for men) with higher specificities ...
Optimal daily protein intake for pregnant womenPregnancy is a dynamic, anabolic state involving changes in metabolism[62] and increases in whole-body protein turnover, protein synthesis, and tissue accretion,[63] which influence dietary protein requirements. Adequate dietary protein intake during ...

81 Higher protein consumption has been associated with a dose-responsive lower risk of incident frailty in older women.82 Incorporating more protein into the diet is thus a rational strategy for frailty prevention. Hip fracture Older adults (average age 84) with hip or leg fracture who entered ...
Maintaining an adequate intake of vitamin D is essential, particularly during lactation and for pregnant women, with safe intake levels being significantly higher than previously believed. Vitamin D is not effectively stored in fat until it has reached high levels in the serum, and concerns about ...
The skeletal muscle index, a widely used measure, adjusts for height as (SMA/height2) but uses no BMI adjustment. There is no agreed upon standard for body size adjustment. We extracted L3 SMA using non-contrast-enhanced CT scans from healthy adults, split into ‘Under-40’ and ‘Over-...
Population-wide CR was over by the 1960s, and generations thereafter have had a higher BMI across all age strata, as well as more metabolic syndrome and worse cardiovascular risk factors than other Japanese. The life expectancy advantage for Okinawans, which used to be the highest in Japan ...
BMI, body mass index. Inter-observer and intra-observer reliability analysis The inter-observer reliability was robust, with kappa values of 0.908 (95% CI: 0.820–0.996) for the experimental group and 0.825 (95% CI: 0.709–0.941) for the control group. Intra-observer reliability was similarly...
EFSA has set daily Adequate Intakes (AIs) for total water for the adult population of 2.5 L for men and 2.0 L for women41. These values include water that comes both from consumed fluids and food. It is estimated that the contribution of food and fluids to total water intake represent ...
