Body weight and BMI percentiles for children in the South-East Asian Nutrition Surveys (Seanuts)
Objective The present study aimed to (i) calculate body-weight- and BMI-for-age percentile values for children aged 0·5–12 years participating in the South-East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS); (ii) investigate whether the pooled (i.e. including all countries) SEANUTS weight- and BMI-for-age percentile values can be used for all SEANUTS countries instead of country-specific ones; and (iii) examine whether the pooled SEANUTS percentile values dif…
Length and height percentiles for children in the South-East Asian Nutrition Surveys (Seanuts)
Objective Health and nutritional information for many countries in the South-East Asian region is either lacking or no longer up to date. The present study aimed to calculate length/height percentile values for the South-East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS) populations aged 0·5–12 years, examine the appropriateness of pooling SEANUTS data for calculating common length/height percentile values for all SEANUTS countries and whether these values di…
Daily Physical Activity and Screen Time, but Not Other Sedentary Activities, Are Associated with Measures of Obesity during Childhood
Childhood obesity is related to low physical activity level and a sedentary lifestyle. The aim of this study was to assess the physical activity level and sedentary behaviour of Malaysian children aged 7 to 12 years and to examine their association with body mass index (BMI), BMI-for-age Z-score (BAZ), body fatness (%BF) and waist circumference (WC). A total of 1736 children, representing all ethnic groups were recruited from six regions of Malay…
Nationwide shifts in the double burden of overweight and underweight in Vietnamese adults in 2000 and 2005
The double nutrition burden was clearly present in Vietnam. The distribution of BMI across the population groups generally indicated a shift towards higher BMI levels in 2005 as compared to 2000. The prevalence of overweight was increased while the declined level of undernutrition was still high in 2005. The shifts of underweight to overweight were most obvious among population groups with higher food expenditure levels

Asians are different from Caucasians and from each other in their body mass index/body fat per cent relationship
The objective was to study the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body fat per cent (BF%) in different population groups of Asians. The study design was a literature overview with special attention to recent Asian data. Specific information is provided on Indonesians (Malays and Chinese ancestry), Singaporean Chinese, Malays and Indians, and Hong Kong Chinese. The BMI was calculated from weight and height and the BF% was determined by…

Proportion of adipose tissue-free body mass as skeletal muscle
Although it is often assumed that skeletal muscle (SM) is a fixed proportion of adipose tissue-free body mass (ATFM), there is little data in living humans that supports this hypothesis. Limited data from elderly cadavers suggests a relatively constant proportion of ATFM as SM in men (mean ± SD, 0.540 ± 0.046) and women (0.489 ± 0.049). The present study tested the hypothesis that SM is a relatively constant proportion of ATFM in healthy men. Who…
Energy expenditure at rest and during activities
Energy expenditure at rest (resting metabolic rate, RMR) and during several activities was measured in 20 young (age 19-27 years) and 19 elderly (age 65-78 years) females. Fat-free mass (FFM) was estimated by means of a four compartment model which accounted for variability in water and bone mineral in the FFM. RMR was lower (P < 0.05) in the elderly (mean ± SE 3.55 ± 0.05 kJ/min) compared to the younger females (3.92 ± 0.09 kJ/min). However, aft…
Multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance
Total body water and extracellular water were measured by deuterium oxide and bromide dilution respectively in 23 healthy males and 25 healthy females. In addition, total body impedance was measured at 17 frequencies, ranging from 1 kHz to 1350 kHz. Modelling programs were used to extrapolate impedance values to frequency zero (extracellular resistance) and frequency infinity (total body water resistance). Impedance indexes (height2/Zf) were comp…
Distal versus proximal electrode placement in the prediction of total body water and extracellular water from multifrequency bioelectrical impedance
In 48 normal weight subjects, 25 females and 23 males, body impedance was measured at multiple frequencies. Two different electrode placements were used, one the commonly used distal electrode placement, in which the source electrodes are on the dorsal sides of the hand and foot and the sensor electrodes are on ankle and wrist, and a second placement, in which the sensor electrodes are placed more proximally, at the knee and elbow. Theoretically …
Does variation in palatability affect the postprandial response in energy expenditure
The relation between overweight and subjective health according to age, social class, slimming behavior and smoking habits in Dutch adults
Subjective health status was assessed in relation to overweight by administering a list of 51 health complaints to adult men and women who were either chronically overweight as defined by Body Mass Index (BMI) or not overweight, in a continuous morbidity registration in four general practices during the period 1967-83. Responses were received from 455 men (182 overweight) and 790 women (386 overweight), ages 26-66 years. Response rate (71 per cen…
Associations of moderate and severe overweight with self-reported illness and medical care in Dutch adults
Data on height, weight, illness, medical care consumption, and demographic variables for 19,126 Dutch adults aged 20 years or older were obtained from three annual Health Interview Surveys. Data on severely overweight (Body Mass Index 30.0-40.0 kg/m2) and moderately overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2) subjects were compared with those on non-overweight persons (BMI 20.0-24.9 kg/m2), taking into account effects of sex, age, and educational level. In …
