ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the influence of self-reported sleep duration on ghrelin secretion and nutritional indicators in obese women. Methods This is an observational study, including 36 adult women with obesity. Sleep duration was reported while completing the general questionnaire. Dietary, la...
Introdução: O processo de envelhecimento está associado a uma redução progressiva do gasto energético de repouso (GER). Embora a calorimetria indireta (CI) seja considerada padrão ouro para avaliar o GER, equações matemáticas preditivas são mais comuns na prática clínica. Objetivo: Avaliar a...
ABSTRACT Background: Diet and exercise are the mainstay of weight reduction programs. Aim: To evaluate the effect of diet and exercise on body weight and composition and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in obese adults. Material and Methods: Twenty-eight obese adults aged 22 to 61 years (18 women) completed ...
Introducción. El índice metabólico pediátrico (IMP) constituye un índice
específico para cada sexo y edad, propuesto para predecir alteraciones cardiometabólicas
en esa población. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el IMP en
adolescentes según la agrupación de factores de riesgo cardi...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently considered a global public health problem, with changes in lifestyle being the effective way to treat the disease. To date, there is no recommended standard of assessment to determine the resting energy expenditure (REE) of pat...
Introducción: se ha reportado una alta prevalencia de malnutrición por exceso en pacientes con Síndrome de Down (SD), tanto en niños, como en adolescentes y adultos. Evaluar correctamente el gasto energético basal (GEB) en estos pacientes, es un aspecto crítico del control de peso, que ha sido esca...
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the effect of the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on basal metabolism rate (BMR) in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Methods: Demographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) and smoking his...
ABSTRACT Introduction Blood biomarkers are measurable metabolic products that allow objective monitoring of the training process, and their analysis provides an opportunity to improve athletic performance. Objective To evaluate blood lactate concentrations in a group of the Valle League weightlifting...
ABSTRACT Objectives Indirect calorimetry is established as a gold standard to determine the resting metabolic rate (RMR), however, its clinical use is limited, especially in low-income settings. Thus, the use of predictive equations appear as an alternative to estimate the RMR, but its precision is deb...
The measurement of body composition has become an important component in the diagnosis of health, physical conditioning and nutritional status. The aim of this study was to compare two methods of detecting body composition, bioelectrical impedance and air displacement plethysmography for athletes and non...
