Marked and widening socioeconomic inequalities in type 2 diabetes prevalence in Scotland
BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association between socioeconomic status and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence in Scotland in 2021 and tested the null hypothesis that inequalities had not changed since they were last described for 2001-2007. METHODS: Data from a national population-based diabetes database for 35-to-84-year-olds in Scotland for 2021 and mid-year population estimates for 2019 stratified by sex and fifths of the Scottish Inde…
The prediction of body fatness by BMI and skinfold thicknesses among children and adolescents
Although skinfold thicknesses, when used in addition to BMI-for-age, can substantially improve the estimation of body fatness, the improvement among overweight children is small
Relative and interacting effects of sex, race, and environment upon body cell mass in healthy adults
Most epidemiologic studies in nutrition have concentrated on body fat and obesity because of associated health risks, while few studies have examined factors that influence body cell mass (BCM). The relative influences of sex, race, environment, and age upon BCM were compared by analyzing the results of bioimpedance analyses in two cohorts of 1094 healthy adults, including Africans in Zaire, plus African Americans and Caucasians in New York City.…
Effects of ethnicity, gender, obesity, and age on central fat distribution
Population based studies relying primarily upon anthropometric surrogates of fat distribution have shown that central or upper-body adiposity is related to ethnicity, gender, age, and total body fatness. As an improvement over anthropometry, dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides more precise measurements of fat mass (FM) in the total body and trunk. DXA was performed on 510 apparently healthy White (81 females (f), 64 males (m)), Black (94 f, …

Bio‐impedance analysis for estimation of total body potassium, total body water, and fat‐free mass in white, black, and Asian adults
Bio‐impedance analysis (BIA) measurements have been used to predict components of body composition. Their validation is required for populations varying in race, sex, and age. In 371 Whites, 182 Blacks and 225 Asians, single‐frequency BIA at 50 kHz (RJL‐100) resistance and reactance measurements were correlated with same‐day measurements of total body water (TBW) by THO dilution, total body potassium (TBK) by whole body 40 K counting, and fat‐fre…
Skeletal differences between black and white men and their relevance to body composition estimates
Skeletal differences exist between closely matched Black and White women, although it is unknown if similar differences also exist between Black and White men after controlling for age, body weight, and stature. The aim of this study was twofold: to test the hypothesis that Black men have greater bone mass, higher bone mineral density, and longer limbs compared to White men of similar age, weight, and height; and second, to establish if ethnic va…
Body fat by dual photon absorptiometry
Measurement of body fat by dual photon absorptiometry (Fat DPA ) is based on the physical principles of differential attenuation of discrete photons by fat and other soft tissue components. The three traditional methods of measuring fat are indirect, in that they depend on measuring the fat free mass (FFM) based on the assumed constancy of water, potassium, and density in the FFM. Comparison of Fat DPA with fat measured by each of the indirect me…
The analysis and identification of homologizer/moderator variables when the moderator is continuous
Human biological data often contain homologizers, that is, variables which moderate the strength rather than the form of the relationship between two other variables. Current methods for the identification and analysis of continuous homologizer variables [Z] (variables which moderate the strength rather than the form of a relationship between other variables [X,Y]) recommend dividing the sample into subgroups on the basis of the homologizer varia…
