Cigarette smoking associates with body weight and muscle mass of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional, observational study
(2008)
Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with altered metabolism leading to muscle wasting. In the general population, cigarette smoking is known to affect body composition by reducing fat and inhibiting muscle ...
Associations of obesity with modifiable risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2009)
Objectives: To assess the association of body mass index (BMI) with modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: BMI, disease activity, selected CVD risk factors ...
Criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability of the 20 m Square Shuttle Test
(2008)
We assessed validity and reliability of the new 20 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (over(V, ̇) O2 max) and compared it with its predecessor, the 20 m Multistage Shuttle Run Test (MST). ...
Passive smoking, asthma and allergy in children
(2009)
Despite the recent campaigns to eliminate smoking and hinder the detrimental effects of passive smoking (PS), actual smoking rates still increase worldwide. Several physiological systems, with the respiratory being the ...
Enhancing the efficacy of the 20 m multistage shuttle run test
(2005)
Objective: Maximal oxygen uptake ( Vo(2max)) of 44 ml kg(-1) min(-1) is an accepted criterion (Vo(2CR)) below which health and fitness for young male adults may be compromised. New algorithms validated for Vo2CR screening ...
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 ...
