Validation of equations to assess body composition using anthropometric data in Chilean preschool children Validación de ecuaciones antropométricas para evaluar composición corporal en niños preescolares chilenos
(2008)
Background: Validated equations to measure body composition in Chilean preschool children are lacking, since the only international equation available was developed in obese, and undernourished caucasian children. Due to ...
Determination of body composition using air displacement plethysmography, anthropometry and bio-electrical impedance in rural elderly Mexican men and women
(2004)
Background and aims: Air displacement plethysmography with the BOD-POD is a new densitometry technique, and has been found to be an accurate method to measure body composition. The aim of this study was to assess body ...
Plasma zinc concentration, body composition and physical activity in obese preschool children
(2007)
Zinc (Zn) deficiency and obesity can be observed together in some developing countries. Zn deficiency may enhance fat deposition and decrease lean mass accrual, which in turn, appears to influence physical activity (PA), ...
Methods of body composition and four compartiments model in obese school children Métodos de composición corporal y modelo de cuatro compartimentos en escolares obesos chilenos
(2012)
Introduction: In Chile, the prevalence of obesity in schoolchildren is 21.3%. The study and individual intervention of this malnutrition, it is necessary to have not only global indicators of nutritional status, but also ...
Anthropometry, body composition and functional limitations in the elderly Indicadores antropométricos, composición corporal y limitaciones funcionales en ancianos
(2007)
Background: Functional limitations limit the independence and jeopardize the quality of life of elderly subjects. Aim: To assess the association between anthropometric measures and body composition with functional limitations ...
Diffences of body max index, body composition, and fitness in normo weight, overweight and obese kindergarten teachers: Cross-sectional study Diferencias de composición corporal y condición fisica en educadoras de párvulo con normopeso, sobrepeso y obesid
(Sociedad Chilena de Nutricion Bromatologia y Toxilogica, 2016)
© 2016, Sociedad Chilena de Nutricion Bromatologia y Toxilogica. All rights reserved. Objective: To describe body mass index (BMI), body composition, basal metabolic rate, physical condition and the relationship between ...
Maternal body composition near term and birth weight
(1998)
Objective: To assess the relative influence of maternal body composition at late gestation on birth weight. Methods: Maternal body composition was estimated in 224 women near term using a deuterium dilution technique. Using ...
Body composition assessment in patients with chronic renal failure Evaluación de la composición corporal en pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica
(2010)
Introduction: Assessment of body composition is paramount in early assessment of nutritional status impairments due to excess or deficit. There are, however, few field reliable methods for this objective for patients with ...
Differences in body composition and resting energy expenditure in childhood in preterm children born with very low birth weight
(2013)
BACKGROUND:
Rapid early ponderal growth is associated with adverse metabolic risks in young adults born at term.
AIM:
To determine whether there are differences in body composition, resting energy expenditure (REE) ...
Formulation of an equation to predict fat mass using bioelectrical impedance in adults in a wide range of ages and body mass index Formulación de una ecuación para predecir la masa grasa corporal a partir de bioimpedanciometría en adultos en un amplio ran
(2011)
Background: Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) has a good correlation and agreement with reference techniques, such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), to assess body composition. Aim: To develop and assess the concordance ...
