Overflowing tables: Changes in the energy intake and the social context of Thanksgiving in the United States
In the United States, recent studies have demonstrated weight gain over Thanksgiving contributing to a significant portion of annual national weight gain. Understanding the social context of how Thanksgiving celebrations were perceived is critical for preventing and reducing excess weight during this time. Energy intake from present-day data was back-calculated from body weight data collected in participants before and after Thanksgiving. Similar…
Allometric models of adult regional body lengths and circumferences to height: Insights from a three‐dimensional body image scanner
Objectives Recent reports on body regional mass scalings to height have advanced understanding differences in adult heights. These studies resulted in conjectures on how regional lengths and circumferences may scale to height. We provide evidence for these conjectures by analyzing a large sample of regional limb, trunk, chest, and head lengths and circumferences in a large sample of US Army basic training recruits. Methods Participants consisted …
Scaling of adult human bone and skeletal muscle mass to height in the US population
Objectives The scaling of structural components to body size is well studied in mammals, although comparable human observations in a large and diverse sample are lacking. The current study aimed to fill this gap by examining the scaling relationships between total body (TB) and regional bone and skeletal muscle (SM) mass with body size, as defined by stature, in a nationally representative sample of the US population. Methods Subjects were 17,126…
Scaling of adult regional body mass and body composition as a whole to height: Relevance to body shape and body mass index
Adult human body shape and relative composition are a function of body size as represented by stature, a finding that reveals a previously unrecognized phenotypic heterogeneity as defined by BMI. These observations provide new pathways for exploring mechanisms governing the interrelations between adult stature, body morphology, biomechanics, and metabolism
Relationships between body roundness with body fat and visceral adipose tissue emerging from a new geometrical model: Body Roundness with Body Fat & Visceral Adipose Tissue
OBJECTIVE: To develop a new geometrical index that combines height, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) and relate this index to total and visceral body fat. DESIGN AND METHODS: Subject data were pooled from three databases that contained demographic, anthropometric, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured fat mass, and magnetic resonance imaging measured visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume. Two elliptical models of the …
Human brain mass: Similar body composition associations as observed across mammals
OBJECTIVES: A classic association is the link between brain mass and body mass across mammals that has now been shown to derive from fat-free mass (FFM) and not fat mass (FM). This study aimed to establish for the first time the associations between human brain mass and body composition and to compare these relations with those established for liver as a reference organ. METHODS: Subjects were 112 men and 148 women who had brain and liver mass me…
Trends over 5 Decades in U.S. Occupation-Related Physical Activity and Their Associations with Obesity
BACKGROUND: The true causes of the obesity epidemic are not well understood and there are few longitudinal population-based data published examining this issue. The objective of this analysis was to examine trends in occupational physical activity during the past 5 decades and explore how these trends relate to concurrent changes in body weight in the U.S. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Analysis of energy expenditure for occupations in U.S. priv…
