Ethical and legal implications of health monitoring wearable devices
BACKGROUND: health monitoring wearable devices (HMWDs) are increasingly implemented for personalized and preventive care. This review aims to summarize the existing literature on the ethical and legal implications of HMWDs in healthcare. METHODS: the study design is a scoping review and narrative synthesis of scientific literature. The literature search was conducted in May 2023, and updated on March 15th, 2024, from the following databases: PubM…
Prevalence of and risk factors for binge eating behaviour in 6930 adults starting a weight loss or maintenance programme
Objective Conflicting data are available on the prevalence of binge eating behaviour (BE) in individuals seeking to lose or maintain weight. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of and the risk factors for BE in a large sample of men and women starting a weight loss or maintenance programme. Design Cross-sectional study. BE was defined as a Binge Eating Scale (BES) score ≥18. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Italian Depress…
Assessment of fat-free mass from bioelectrical impedance analysis in obese women with Prader-Willi syndrome
Population-specific equations are needed to estimate FFM from BIA in obese PWS women
Puberty in modernizing Kazakhstan
A relationship between pubertal status and the living environment was present in a rapidly modernizing country such as Kazakhstan
Thirty-year persistence of obesity after presentation to a pediatric obesity clinic
The study reinforces the notion that obesity should be prevented at an early age and shows that adolescents with severe obesity and low educational degree are at greater risk of becoming obese adults
Prevalence of overweight and cardiovascular risk factors in rural and urban children from Central Asia
Kazakhstan is undergoing a rapid modernization process, which carries the risk of an epidemic of obesity and cardiovascular disease. We enrolled a sample of about 50 children for every combination of gender, environment (urban vs. rural), ethnic group (Kazakh vs. Russian), and age group from 7 to 18 years, for a total of 4,808 children. Anthropometry and blood pressure were measured on all children while fasting blood cholesterol and glucose were…
Spirometric reference values for children and adolescents from Kazakhstan
Anthropometry was the most important predictor of spirometry. Age and ethnicity were also predictors, while the contribution of the living environment was more limited
Accuracy of body mass index in detecting an elevated alanine aminotransferase level in adolescents
BMI is a good predictor of elevated ALT in Italian adolescents and gender adds to the accuracy of the prediction
Relationship between body mass index and insulin measured during oral glucose tolerance testing in severely obese children and adolescents
BMI is reasonably accurate in detecting OGTT hyperinsulinaemia in severely obese children
Cross-calibration of eight-polar bioelectrical impedance analysis versus dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for the assessment of total and appendicular body composition in healthy subjects aged 21-82 y…
Eight-polar BIA offers accurate estimates of total and appendicular body composition. The attractive hypothesis that eight-polar BIA is influenced minimally by age and sex should be tested on larger samples including younger individuals
Sensitivity and specificity of body mass index and skinfold thicknesses in detecting excess adiposity in children aged 8-12 years
BMI percentiles employed in the present study have a high SP but a low SN in detecting excess adiposity in 8-12-year-old children. The use of the sum of four skinfolds has the potential to increase the SN of a screening programme for excess adiposity in children of this age
Relationship between body composition and bone mineral content in young and elderly women
In Caucasian women, (1) LTM is a stronger predictor of BMC than FM, but (2) Wt is a better predictor of BMC than body composition for practical purposes, and (3) Wt and body composition are not able to explain more than 46% of BMC variance
Relationships between blood pressure, anthropometric characteristics and blood lipids in high- and low-altitude populations from Central Asia
We studied the relationships between blood pressure, anthropometric characteristics and blood lipids in 72 low altitude (LA) Uighurs (600 m), 91 LA-Kirghizs (900 m), 117 medium altitude (MA) Kazakhs (2100 m) and 94 high altitude (HA) Kirghizs (3200 m). All subjects were male and had a similar age (p = ns, ANOVA; range for all 374 subjects: 18-66 yr). Body weight (Wt), body mass index (BM1) and the sum of four skinfolds (4SF) were significantly lo…
Assessment of body hydration in subjects with schistosomiasis
Total body water (TBW) was measured by deuterium oxide dilution (D2O) and predicted by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) (Deurenberg, Schouten, Andreoli and De Lorenzo 1993) in 21 subjects with Schistosoma mansoni infection and 17 healthy controls of similar age (32.8 +/- 13.7 years, n=38). Patients were selected to have no visible fluid retention and no cardiac or renal abnormalities. Body hydration (TBW per kg of body weight) was significant…
Body water distribution in highlanders versus lowlanders
Acute exposure to high altitude produces characteristic changes in body water distribution from which acclimatized individuals seem to be spared. However, it has been suggested that body water distribution may be different in highlanders (HL) as compared to lowlanders (LL). We studied the distribution of total body water (TBW) between extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW) in a group of 20 HL (3200 m above sea level) versus one o…
The prediction of extracellular and total body water from bioelectric impedance in a non-Caucasian population from Central Asia
The availability of only a small number of studies on bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) in non-Caucasian ethnic groups appears to limit reliable utilization of this method in anthropological field studies. In this study, 28 male Turkish-Mongolian subjects native of Kazakhstan (Central Asia) underwent total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW) assessment by deuterium oxide (D2O) and sodium bromide (NaBr) dilution respectively. Bioelec…
Relative expansion of extracellular water in elite male athletes compared to recreational sportsmen
This study reports total body hydration and water distribution between the extracellular water (ECW) and the intracellular water (ICW) of a group of 15 elite male athletes compared with a group of 15 male subjects practising the same sport at 'amateur' level. Total body water (TBW) and ECW were assessed by means of deuterium and bromide dilution techniques respectively. Both TBW and body hydration were significantly higher in elite athletes than …
