Postural balance and body mass index in older adults; a descriptive and associative study testing traditional risk factors

Rev. méd. Chile; 151 (7), 2023
BACKGROUND: There is a scarcity of information about how much the postural balance parameters, as the area and mean velocity of the center of pressure (CoP), can be modified by traditionally adiposity markers in older adults. OBJETIVES: To describe and associate postural balance parameters in Chilean old...

Masticatory function according to body mass index: part I: kinematic analysis using different food textures

J. oral res. (Impresa); 11 (1), 2022
Introduction: Chewing is a learned orofacial function, important in the nutrition process of most mammals. It has been described that it can vary according to the characteristics of the individuals and the characteristics of the food. The aim of this study was to compare the kinematic characteristics of ...

Nutritional intervention may improve migraine severity: a pilot study

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (10), 2019
ABSTRACT Although some studies have investigated the role of nutritional intervention on migraine, they had focused on triggers or on weight change and, to the best of our knowledge, none studied diet quality. Objective To investigate whether nutritional intervention focused on improving diet quality a...

Waist-to-height ratio is as reliable as biochemical markers to discriminate pediatric insulin resistance

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 95 (4), 2019
Abstract Objective: Given the importance of incorporating simple and low-cost tools into the pediatric clinical setting to provide screening for insulin resistance, the present study sought to investigate whether waist-to-height ratio is comparable to biochemical markers for the discrimination of insuli...
