Uncovering the genetic pleiotropy between obesity and hypertension in Roma population
Background: Obesity and hypertension disproportionally affect Roma people. Although shared genetic determinants are assumed to influence both blood pressure (BP) and adiposity related phenotypes, their contribution to these two sets of phenotypes in Roma population remains poorly understood. Objective: This study aims to estimate the shared genetic influence between adiposity and BP traits in a high-risk population like the Roma and to assess the…
Pilot study on level 3 fingerprint features for their use in forensic identification
Background: Dermatoglyphs are formed early during prenatal development and, due to their individuality and permanence, are commonly used for identification. When fingertips touch a surface, sweat distributed along the ridges is transferred, producing a latent fingerprint. To use this latent fingerprint for identification purposes, each country establishes a well-defined minimum number of level 2 features (or minutiae). Latent fingerprints obtaine…
Ideal body image for the opposite sex and its association with body mass index
This research studied the preferences reported by women and men about their Ideal Body Image for the Opposite Sex (IBIOS), and its association with body mass index (BMI). It also analysed the preferences of each sex for a woman’s ideal body image (W-IBI) and a man’s ideal body image (M-IBI). A total of 450 participants aged 18–70 years with different weights were studied. Their IBIOS was assessed using standard figural stimuli. The sample was div…
Association between lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes in adults from the Basque Country (Spain)
Lifestyle is related to the risk of obesity, but the relationship between different lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes remains unclear. This study analysed the association between different lifestyle features (eating habits, activity, sleep patterns, and tobacco and alcohol consumption), and four obesity phenotypes (overall and abdominal obesity, distribution and percentage of fat). The sample included 521 adults aged between 18 and 70 yea…
Los llamados puentes alimentarios
La convivencia entre altas tasas de despilfarro alimentario y una creciente bolsa de personas en situación de pobreza alimentaria es una de las paradojas del sistema alimentario contemporáneo. Los puentes alimentarios son estrategias que, impulsadas por distintos actores, persiguen que alimentos aptos para el consumo que han quedado fuera del circuito comercial puedan ser reconducidos hacia personas que están en situación o riesgo de exclusión so…
Body image in relation to nutritional status in adults from the Basque Country, Spain
The aim of this research was to analyse variation in body image perception and satisfaction by age, sex and nutritional status in an adult sample from the Basque Country, Spain. A case-control study was performed for 227 women and 178 men aged 18–70 years. Stunkard’s silhouettes were used to evaluate Current Body Image (CBI) and Ideal Body Image (IBI), as well as dissatisfaction and inconsistency scores. Nutritional status was assessed following …
Contribution of obesity associated genetic variants to anthropometric somatotype components
< 0.05). In conclusion, four genetic variants (in or near BDNF, NRXN3, MAP2K5 and FTO) contribute to body shape and composition in the analysed sample.
New specific bioelectrical impedance vector reference values for assessing body composition in the Italian‐Spanish young adult population
OBJECTIVE: Specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (spBIVA) is a recently proposed technique for the analysis of body composition. The aim of this study was to apply spBIVA to a sample of Italian and Spanish young adults and to define the new bioelectrical references for this Western Mediterranean population. METHODS: A sample of 440 individuals (220 from Italy, 220 from Spain; 213 men, 227 women) aged 18-30 years was considered. Anthrop…
Common variants in BDNF, Faim2, FTO, MC4R, Negr1, and SH2B1 show association with obesity‐related variables in S panish R oma population
The results of this study suggest that SNPs in or near six genes (BDNF, FAIM2, FTO, MC4R, NEGR1, and SH2B1) are significantly associated with body fat accumulation and distribution in Roma people. However, the association observed among variants in the first intron of FTO and obesity in European derived populations is not evident in the analyzed Roma sample
Obesity and body size perceptions in a Spanish Roma population
This Roma population presents one of the highest rates of obesity worldwide. Although a certain awareness of the correct weight status was appreciated, the inability of Roma individuals to see themselves as overweight or obese may be a significant factor on the high prevalence of obesity in this population
Heritability variations of body linearity and obesity indicators during growth
