Size at birth, infant, early and later childhood growth and adult body composition: a prospective study in a stunted population
(Oxford University, 2007)
Background Pre-natal and post-natal growth are associated with adult body composition,
but the relative importance of growth in different periods of childhood is still
unclear, particularly in stunted populations.
Methods ...
The four-compartment model of body composition in obese Chilean schoolchildren, by pubertal stage: Comparison with simpler models
(Elsevier, 2014)
Objectives: We assessed the agreement of body fat and fat-free mass measured by simpler methods
against the four-compartment model (4C).
Methods: In 60 obese schoolchildren (body mass index 95th percentile) between the ...
Effect of Summer Holidays on Anthropometric Measures and Body Composition of Older Adults, Inadequacy of Body Mass Index to Detect Changes During a Critical Period: A Pilot Study
(Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2016)
Obesity is a major health problem worldwide. Obesity prevalence in Chilean older adults (OA) is increasing,
associated with several negative health outcomes. Therefore, determining critical periods of adiposity increase ...
Premature loss of muscle mass and function in type 2 diabetes
(Elsevier, 2016)
Introduction: Muscle mass and function are among the most relevant factors that contribute to an optimal quality of life, and are strong predictors of mortality in the elderly. Loss of lean tissues and deterioration of ...
Densidad mineral ósea y adecuación de la dieta en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en hemodiálisis
(2013)
BACKGROUND: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, malnutrition is common with loss of muscle mass and decreased bone mineral density (BMD), increasing the risk of morbidity. OBJECTIVE: To compare body composition, bone ...
Validación y generación de ecuaciones para estimar masa grasa corporal en adultos chilenos formuladas a partir de bioimpedanciometría, en un amplio rango de edad e índice de masa corporal
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, Chile, 2020)
Background: Equations for the evaluation of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat
mass (FM) with Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were formulated in
Caucasian populations. International recommendations suggest that ...
Changes in bone mineral density, body composition and adiponectin levels in morbidly obese patients after bariatric surgery
(2009)
Background: Gastric bypass surgery (GBP) is increasingly used as a treatment option in morbid obesity. Little is known about the effects of this surgery on bone mineral density (BMD) and the underlying mechanisms. To ...
Trace Element Status and Inflammation Parameters after 6 Months of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
(Springer, 2011)
Background Knowledge about the practical consequences
of the nutritional status of Fe, Zn, and Cu and inflammation
in obesity is limited. The objective of this study was to
evaluate changes on trace element status and ...
Changes in Bone Mineral Density, Body Composition and Adiponectin Levels in Morbid Obese Patients after Bariatric Surgery
(Springer, 2008)
Introduction Gastric bypass surgery (GBP) is increasingly used as a treatment option in morbid obesity. Little is known about the effects of this surgery on bone mineral
density (BMD) and the underlying mechanisms. To ...
