Obesity(肥胖) in children and adolescents is rising at an alarming rate. Currently over 15% of young people over 6 years old are obese, and obesity is also increasing among children aged 5 and younger.Children are considered to be overweight if the BMI(Body Mass Index) is over 85% of ...
While BMIz may be sensitive to changes in adiposity, it is a weak predictor of these changes in total body fat (%FAT) due to the poor specificity. Therefore, clinicians must exercise caution when monitoring changes in a growing child's body composition to avoid misclassifying or missing ...
Researchers in 2016 analyzed 213 "healthy-weight" boys, determined by BMI, and 72 obese boys. They compared their findings to a similar study in 1996 performed on 132 healthy-weight boys and 72 obese boys to determine the change in fitness over time. Participants wore heart rate ...
Although obesity is a well-recognised risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the impact of long-term body mass index (BMI) changes in overweight or obese adults, on the risk of heart failure, CVD and mortality has not been quantified. This populat
BMI was calculated by dividing the weight (in kg) by the squared height (in meters). BMI > 25 is considered as overweight and over 30 as obese. Acupoints on skin surface of PC 5–7, BL 57, and LU 8–9, and their MWOP and NMCR were determined following the procedure described ...
common in pediatric CD, emphasizing that BMI is not a reliable predictor of CD in children and underscoring the need for other diagnostic criteria [2,8,31]. In summary, the year of celiac disease diagnosis did not show a statistically significant association with being overweight or obese, ...
Volunteers were randomly asked to participate in biocapture over the PC, BL, or LU meridian region. BMI was calculated by dividing the weight (in kg) by the squared height (in meters). BMI >25 is considered as overweight and over 30 as obese. Acupoints on skin surface of PC 5–7, BL...
Height and weight measures were used to calculate BMI. Age and sex specific BMI standards and the International Obesity Taskforce cut-offs that correspond to BMI of 25 or 30 kg/m2 at age 18 years were used to identify overweight and obese children [25, 26]. In adults overweight was ...
The sensitivity analysis showed that the enriched home environment variables were correlated with child percent overweight, but energy intake and percent overBMI were not related when examining both accurate and under-reporters. If under-reporting was not considered, energy intake and home environment ...
Some limitations should be considered. First, self-report could result in the misclassification of smoking status; however, it is most likely that people have under-reported smoking which would likely mean we have underestimated the effect of SEP on current smoking [54]. Second, dichotomising SEP...
