A brief exposure to moderate passive smoke increases metabolism and thyroid hormone secretion
(2007)
Context: Active smoking influences normal metabolic status and thyroid function. Objective: The objective was to assess experimentally the effects of 1 h of moderate passive smoking in a controlled simulated bar/ restaurant ...
Underweight and obese states both associate with worse disease activity and physical function in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis
(2009)
Obesity is characterised by low-grade inflammation and could potentially affect disease activity and severity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Body mass index (BMI), body fat (BF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ...
Redefining overweight and obesity in rheumatoid arthritis patients
(2007)
Objectives: To assess whether body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF) differ between rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) patients, patients with non-inflammatory arthritis (osteoarthritis, OA) and healthy individuals, and whether ...
What predicts obesity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis? An investigation of the interactions between lifestyle and inflammation
(2010)
Objective: To assess whether physical activity, diet or inflammation is a more important determinant of body mass index (BMI) and body fat (BF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA). Methods: A total of 150 RA patients ...
Inverted BMI rather than BMI is a better proxy for percentage of body fat
(2011)
Background: Percentage of body fat (BF%) is a known risk factor for a range of healthcare problems but is difficult to measure. An easy to measure proxy is the weight/height(2) ratio known as the Body Mass Index (BMI ...
Prediction of (V) over dotO(2max) from a new field test based on portable indirect calorimetry
(2010)
We assessed the validity and reliability of the new 15 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting laboratory treadmill test (TT) maximal oxygen uptake ((V) over dotO(2max)) compared to the 20 in multistage shuttle run ...
Body Composition and Ballet Injuries A Preliminary Study
(2008)
To date, the effects of body composition on injury occurrence and healing times in dancers have received limited scientific attention. The aim of the current study was to determine possible associations between somatotype, ...
Sexual dimorphism in the acute effects of secondhand smoke on thyroid hormone secretion, inflammatory markers and vascular function
(2008)
Experimental evidence for the physiological effects of secondhand smoke (SHS) is limited, although it affects millions of people globally and its prevalence is increasing, despite currently adopted antismoking measures. ...
