Abstract:

The capability to perform your best is an important aspect in the sport of soccer. The relationship between anthropometric measures to vertical jump height among NCAA Division I Women’s soccer players is a subject lacking sufficient scientific research. Purpose: To analyze this relationship, body mass and %body fat was correlated with un-weighted countermovement jump height to determine the strength of this relationship in NCAA DI female soccer players. Methods: Data from an ongoing athlete monitoring program from fourteen NCAA D1 female soccer players in the year 2007 was analyzed. Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) via a BOD POD (Life Measurement, Inc., Concord, CA) measured body composition. Height and weight were measured using BOD POD Scale (Life Measurement Inc., Concord, CA) and a stadiometer (Detecto Scale Program, Webb City, MO). To measure the strength characteristics, a Countermovement Jump was utilized. Those jumps were measured using force plates (Rice Lake Weighing Systems, Rice Lake, WI). Results: There was an inverse and moderate correlation (r = -0.371) between 0kg CMJ and %BF, and an inverse and trivial correlation (r = -0.034) between the 0kg CMJ and BM. Conclusion: The relationship between %BF and jump height has a larger impact on this particular group compared to the BM relationship with jump height, but they both however play a significant role in DI women’s soccer.

Abstract:

Hand and finger force data are used in many settings, including industrial design and indicating progress during rehabilitation. The application of appropriate work design principles, during the design of tools and workstations that involve the use of the hand and fingers, may minimize upper extremity injuries within the workplace. Determination and integration of force capabilities and requirements is an essential component of this process. Available data in the literature has focused primarily on whole-hand or multi-digit pinch exertions. The present study compiled and examined maximal forces exerted by the fingers in a variety of couplings to both enhance and supplement available data. This data was used to determine whether finger strength could be predicted from other strength measures and anthropometry. In addition, this study examined whether exerted finger forces could be estimated using surface electromyography obtained from standardized forearm locations. Such processes are of utility when designing and evaluating hand tools and human-machine interfaces involving finger intensive tasks, since the integration of finger force capabilities and task requirements are necessary to reduce the risk of injury to the upper limbs.

Forces were measured using strain gauge transducers, and a modification of standard protocols was followed to obtain consistent and applicable data. Correlations within and among maximum finger forces, whole-hand grip force, and anthropometric measures were examined. Multiple regression models were developed to determine the feasibility of predicting of finger strength in various finger couplings from more accessible measures. After examining a wide variety of such mathematical models, the results suggest that finger strength can be predicted from easily obtained measures with only moderate accuracy (R2-adj: 0.45 - 0.64; standard error: 11.95N - 18.88N). Such models, however, begin to overcome the limitations of direct finger strength measurements of individuals.

Surface electrodes were used to record electromyographic signals collected from three standardized electrode sites on the forearm. Multiple linear regression models were generated to predict finger force levels with the three normalized electromographic measures as predictor variables. The results suggest that standardized procedures for obtaining EMG data and simple linear models can be used to accurately predict finger forces (R2-adj: 0.77 - 0.88; standard error: 9.21N - 12.42N) during controlled maximal exertions. However, further work is needed to determine if the models can be generalized to more complex tasks.

Abstract:

The purpose of the investigation was to determine the interrelationships of strength, speed, power and anthropometric measures in women. Sixty females ranging in ages from 18 to 25 volunteered as subjects. Subjects were measured for strength on the bench press, leg extension and leg curl, power vertical jump, speed--a 40 yard dash, body weight (BW) and fat weight (FW) using a scale and skinfold tests. The correlations for strength and power (.35 to .53), strength and speed (-.37 to -.56) and speed and power (-.45) were significant (p < .01). Partial correlations with (BW) and (FW) held constant were also significant, but were not significantly greater than their zero-order correlations.

Abstract:

Fifty-five wrestlers from Tucson, Arizona were studied to develop equations using anthropometric measurements to predict a wrestler's minimum wrestling weight (MWW). This sample was also used to cross-validate seven equations that predict MWW by using anthropometric measures. All estimates of percent fat and MWW were validated by densitometry. The mean age, weight, percent fat and MWW for this sample, with standard deviations, were 16.8 ± 1.1 yrs, 63.7 ± 12.7 kg, 8.8 ± 5.49 percent, and 60.6 ± 9.49 kg. Using multiple regression analysis, the best combination of variables predicted MWW with an adjusted R2 of.93 and standard error of estimate (SEE) of 2.45 kg. The next best equation from this sample predicted MWW with an adjusted R2 of.91 and SEE of 2.8 kg. All seven of the equations from other samples were successfully cross validated on this sample. These equations predicted the criterion MWW with respective adjusted R2's and SEE's ranging from.91 and 2.84 kg to.79 and 4.28 kg.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Dental caries is the most common childhood disease worldwide. Previous research on the associations between dental caries and height, weight and body-mass-index (BMI) among children has produced inconsistent results. Dental caries also has a negative impact on oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children. However, the precise nature and underlying mechanism of this relationship is yet to be fully investigated. Thus the PhD thesis aimed to assess the associations between dental caries and anthropometric measures (height, weight and BMI) among 5-9-year-old Bangladeshi children. A secondary aim was to examine whether any associations between dental caries and anthropometric measurements were explained by OHRQoL, in particular dental pain, eating difficulty, poor appetite and sleep disturbance. METHODS: A cross sectional observational study was conducted among 5-9-year-old children in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data were collected from children and their parents from Dhaka Dental College Hospital and from three nearby primary schools. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the associations of interest, adjusted for potential covariates. RESULTS: The final sample comprised 788 children. Dental caries and sepsis showed negative associations with height-for-age z-scores (HAZ), weight-for-age z-scores (WAZ) and BMI-for-age z-scores (BAZ) after adjusting for all confounders. Children who had higher level of caries and sepsis had lower HAZ, WAZ and BAZ compared to caries and sepsis free children. Adjusting for OHRQoL led to significant attenuation on associations between dental caries, sepsis and anthropometric outcomes. Moreover, OHRQoL showed significant inverse association with weight-for-age and BMI-for-age but not with height-for-age. Finally, amongst all potential mediators, adjusting for dental pain and eating difficulty led to significant attenuation on these associations. Therefore, dental pain and eating difficulty might be considered to partly explain the inverse associations. However, only eating difficulty showed significant inverse association with weight-for-age and BMI-for-age but not with height-for-age. Thus OHRQoL particularly eating difficulty might be considered on the hypothesized pathway of negative associations between dental caries, sepsis and weight-for-age and BMI-for-age. CONCLUSION: The results of this study provide evidence that dental caries was associated with lower height, weight and BMI among the study population. Secondly, OHRQoL particularly dental pain and eating difficulty partly explained the negative association.

Abstract:

The overall objective of this thesis is to compare and contrast alternative measures of wellbeing in New Zealand during the 19th -early 20th centuries from a spatial perspective by collecting, collating and analyzing new economic, social and anthropometric data. Provincial data was collected from the Statistics New Zealand Annual Reports and New Zealand Census. Anthropometric data was derived from the personnel records of New Zealanders serving in WWI, which only became available to the public in 2005. Time-series tests for convergence and causality have been applied to analyze New Zealand’s economic history, where appropriate. The last quarter of the 19th century in New Zealand was a period of rapid change both in terms of economic and demographic indicators. Prior to the universal convergence of the existing monetary-based measures of wellbeing across Provinces, there were some apparent disparities in the commodity price and real wage series, as well as urban-rural differences in occupation-specific real wages and infant mortality trends. There was also no single pattern of stature decline across provinces during 1871-1898, or between urban and rural areas, where disparities were particularly apparent. The traditional view of the healthy and wealthy New Zealand could only be established at an aggregate level, during a certain time period and for a certain ethnic group (New Zealand European only). Using Provincial data for the period 1874-1919 I have been able to show that improvements in real wages and a decrease in education inequality (between females and males) corresponded to lower infant deaths and thus better health outcomes, while increased dwelling density created unfavorable conditions for infants’ chances of survival. Anthropometric data was used in conjunction with socio-economic provincial data to establish the relationship between stature, urbanization, real wages and infant mortality. The results showed that dwelling density (overcrowding) and general economic conditions were both important in determining stature outcomes during 1870-1900, while the effect of infant mortality on stature was negligible. Most importantly, it has been demonstrated that in New Zealand stature represents a much more robust measure of living standards than real wages or health indicators on their own, at least during the 1870-1900 period.

Abstract:

This research compared physical characteristics of bodybuilders to judges' rankings, and compared the judges' rankings across three levels of judges: Elite, Trained, and Untrained. Twenty-nine male and nine female bodybuilding athletes consented to anthropometric and circumference measurements. The independent variables in this study were bodyfat, fat-free weight, and proportionality of muscle. Three groups of judges ranked male and female athletes in the Open, Novice, Collegiate, and Masters divisions. The measurements of proportionality of muscle, bodyfat, girths, and fat-free weight were analyzed using simple and multiple regression. The judges' rankings in each class were compared using reliability coefficients, correlation, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the generalized theory for inter-rater reliability. There were significant correlations between the Elite judges' rankings and bodyfat in the Men's Open lightweight class. The Trained and Elite judges' rankings were significantly correlated with bodyfat in the Women's Novice class. Fat-free weight was significantly correlated with the Untrained and Elite judges' rankings in the Women's Novice division. Proportionality of muscle was significantly correlated with the Elite and Trained judges' rankings in the Men's Open lightweight class. Elite and Trained judges' rankings were significantly correlated with bodyfat and proportionality of muscle. All three groups of judges' were significantly correlated with the Overall rankings. The Trained judges' rankings were more correlated and more reliable with the Elite judges. The inter-rater reliability scores were higher for the Elite and Trained judges than for the Untrained judges. When fat-free weight was substituted for body weight in the calculation of proportionality of muscle, prediction of ranking was enhanced. The education session led to a significant disparity in judges' rankings between Trained and Untrained judges. Bodyfat appears to be a better selection variable when comparing physical measurements to judges' rankings in women. Proportionality of muscle is a better selection variable in predicting judges' rankings in men. Prediction models developed from this investigation need further testing.

TITLE: Calories vs. Composition: The effect on dietary alterations on anthropometric measures and biochemical parameters in overweight women.LEARNING OUTCOME: To determine if a high-protein, low-carbohydrate, ad-libitum diet is more effective than an energy-restricted diet in promoting weight loss and improving blood lipid and insulin levels.ABSTRACT TEXT: Thirty overweight/obese (BMI: 25-35kg/m2), premenopausal women were matched for Body Mass Index (BMI) and randomly assigned to one of the two diets: (1) High Protein (HP) (30-40% protein, 40-55% fat, 10-20% CHO); (2) Energy Restricted (ER) (1200kcal/d, 20-25% fat, 15-20% protein, 55-60% CHO). Subjects were given weekly menus matching their assigned macronutrient and/or energy requirements to aid in meal planning and dietary compliance. Baseline and post-diet measures included height, weight, body composition, blood lipids (total cholesterol (TC), HDL, LDL< and triglycerides (TG)], and plasma insulin levels. There were no significant differences found among the two groups in any of the above-listed variables prior to the study. Twenty-three women completed the 6-week study (HP=11, ER= 12). Compliance to the diets was adequate as indicated by weekly 24-hour recalls and daily urinary ketone levels. Both groups lost a significant amount of weight and body fat (P<0.05), andweight and body fat losses were not significantly different between the groups. In addition, both groups experienced similar decreases in TG, TC, LDL, HDL, and insulin levels. These results indicate that a HP diet is no more effective than an ER diet in promoting favorable changes in body weight, body composition, blood lipids, and insulin levels.

Abstract:

Height, skinfold, and circumference measurements were obtained from 29 normal weight and 17 overweight (>110% of desirable weight for height) healthy pregnant women every four weeks during their second trimester of pregnancy. The mean weight gain and food intake values were not significantly different for both groups. Measurements increased at a greater rate for the normal weight gravidas than for the overweight gravidas in almost every case. For both groups, increases in fat stores were greater in the central sites than in the peripheral sites. No clear relationship between age, prepregnant weight, and weight gain during the second trimester with the birthweight of the baby was found. The infant birthweights of both groups were at an optimal level ( >2500 grams) except for one (born to the mother 151% of her desirable weight for height). The similarity in results for the two groups is greatly due to there not being a large enough difference in prepregnant weights between the two groups. Nevertheless, the results do lend support to a 20 to 30 pound weight gain for an optimal outcome of pregnancy for healthy pregnant women with a wide range of prepregnancy weights. Those women 150% or more of their desirable weight for height may need to gain on the lower end of the spectrum due to their excess endogenous reserves and to possible harm to the fetus with large gains.

Abstract:

Weight, height, skinfold thicknesses, circumference measurements, and 72-hour food records were collected from pregnant women (N=51) at four-week intervals between the 12th and 40th weeks of gestation. Subjects were divided Into two groups according to percent standard prepregnant weight for height: overweight > 110% (N=17) and normal weight < 110% (N=28). Changes In weight, skinfold thicknesses and circumference measurements were similar between the two groups during the third trimester (weeks 28 to 40 of gestation). Significant increases in weight (1.58 kg per four weeks) and waist circumference and significant decreases in calf and abdominal skinfold thicknesses are reported. When the second and third trimesters (weeks 12 to 40 of gestation) were considered mean weight gain was 1 .87 kg per four-week interval. Overweight gravidas demonstrated a significantly greater decrease in abdominal skinfold thickness than normal-weight gravidas. The patterns of change over the second and third trimesters were different between the two groups for abdominal, knee, and calf skinfold thickness, hips and thigh circumference, body fat, and percent body fat. Caloric and macronutrient consumption was similar between groups and did not change throughout the second the two and third trimesters. Maternal weight gain was significantly associated with infant birth weight in both groups.

Pasauliniu mastu suaugusių bei vaikų nutukimas jau įvardintas kaip epidemija. Todėl reikia ieškoti priežastinių ryšių tarp atskirų rodiklių ir veiksnių įtakojančių šiuos rodiklius. Darbo tikslas. Palyginti Vilniaus ir Kauno apskričių pirmokų antropometrinius rodiklius bei nustatyti jų sąsajas su tėvų antropometriniais rodikliais. Tyrimo metodika. Tyrimo objektas – Kauno ir Vilniaus apskrities pirmų klasių mokiniai. Tyrimo metodika – pirmokų antropometrinių rodiklių (ūgio, svorio, juosmens ir klubų apimčių) tyrimas, naudojant PSO patvirtintus, standartizuotus metodus. Anketinė tėvų apklausa. Statistinė duomenų analizė naudojant SPSS 14.0 bei MS Excel. Rezultatai. Nustatytas vidutinis 7 ir 8 metų berniukų ir mergaičių ūgis, svoris. Vertinant abiejų lyčių ūgio vidurkius, bei juos lyginant su 20 metų amžiaus tarpsnio vidurkiais matoma pirmokų ūgio didėjimo tendencija. Vertinant pagal IOTF standartus 17,8 proc., pirmokų turėjo antsvorį arba nutukimą. Skirtumai tarp Vilniaus ir Kauno apskričių pirmokų antropometrinių rodiklių buvo nereikšmingi. Nustatyti koreliaciniai ryšiai tarp tėvų ir vaikų antropometrinių rodiklių svyravo nuo 0,35 iki 0,15. Buvo nustatyta, kad didelis naujagimio svoris 1,8 karto didina nutukimo riziką lyginant su normalaus ir mažo gimimo svorio vaikais. Sąsajos tarp natūralaus maitinimo ir padidėjusios KMI buvo nereikšmingos. Išvados. Pirmokų antropometriniai rodikliai skiriasi priklausomai nuo amžiaus grupės ir lyties.

Obesity of children and adults takes epidemic status. There are need to find causative factors between anthropometric measures and negative outcomes of health (gained BMI). Aim of the study. To compare anthropometric measures of the first grade students in Vilnius and Kaunas counties and to asses links with anthropometric measures of parents. Methods. The object of the study – first grade students of Kaunas and Vilnius counties. Children were weighed and measured and circumferences of waist and hip were measured, too by trained stuff using standardised equipment. Parents completed questionnaire. The main statistical criteria used in the data analysis were: Chi Square (2), Mann-Whitney U, One way ANOVA, post hoc (Bonferoni criteria) tests, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results. There were estimated averages of height and weight of 7 and 8 years old boys and girls. The height averages between boys and girls were significantly different. Obesity and overweight (defined using IOTF cut-off's) prevalence was 17.8 %. The differences of anthropometric measures between Vilnius and Kaunas were not found. Parent–child correlations for height were stronger between fathers than mothers. Odds ratio of obesity/overweight risk was two fold higher in “big” (>4132 g) birth weight in comparison with normal and small birth weight. Conclusions. Anthropometric measures of first grade students varied subject to group of age and sex. There were no statistically significant differences... [to full text]

Pacientes e Métodos: O estudo é apresentado em dois artigos: o primeiro consiste de um estudo retrospectivo de 93 pacientes portadores de SAOS, referente ao período de julho de 2010 a julho de 2012, com a idade variando de 19 a 80 anos; o segundo consiste também de um estudo retrospectivo de 102 pacientes portadores de SAOS, referente ao período de julho de 2010 a julho de 2013, com a idade variando de 20 a 70 anos, divididos em três faixas etárias (?20?40, ?40?60 e ?60 anos). Foram analisadas as seguintes medidas nos dois estudos: índice de massa corpórea (IMC), circunferência cervical (CC), circunferência abdominal (CA), circunferência pélvica (CP), ângulos formados pela base do crânio com a maxila (SNA) e com a mandíbula (SNB), diferença entre SNA e SNB (ANB), distância do plano mandibular ao osso hioide (MP-H), espaço entre a base da língua e a parede posterior da faringe (PAS) e distância entre a espinha nasal posterior e a ponta da úvula (PNS-P). Foram analisados a média, o desvio padrão e a correlação de Pearson. Resultados: No primeiro estudo, observou-se que o IAH mostrou uma correlação significante com: IMC (r=0,207, p=0,047), CC (r=0,365, p<0,001), CA (r=0,337, p=0,001), PNS-P (r=0,282, p=0,006) e MP-H (r=0,235, p=0,023). No segundo, não ocorreu correlação com o IMC e nos pacientes com idade de 20 a 40 anos e a partir de 60 anos não apresentaram correlações significantes das medidas cefalométricas e antropométricas com o IAH, mas as mesmas alterações encontradas na amostra completa foram observadas na faixa etária de 40 a 60 anos. Conclusões: As medidas antropométricas IMC, CC e CA e as cefalométricas MP-H e PNS-P podem ser utilizadas como fatores preditivos da gravidade da SAOS. A faixa etária de maior importância para analisar estas medidas, exceto IMC, foi de 40 a 60 anos
Abstract: Objective: To correlate the cephalometric and anthropometric measures with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Patients and Methods: The study is presented in two articles: the first is a retrospective study of 93 patients with OSAS, carried out between July 2010 and July 2012, patient age ranging from 19 to 80 years; the second was also a retrospective study of 102 patients with OSAS, carried out between from July 2010 and July 2013, patient age ranging from 20 to 70 years, divided into three age groups (?20?40, ?40?60 and ?60 years). The following measures were analyzed in both studies: body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), abdominal circumference (AC), pelvic circumference (PC), angles formed between the base of the cranium and the maxilla (SNA) and the mandible (SNB), difference between SNA and SNB (ANB), distance between the mandibular plane and the hyoid bone (MP-H), space between the base of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall (PAS) and distance between the posterior nasal spine and the tip of the uvula (PNS-P). The means, standard deviation and Pearson¿s correlation were analyzed. Results: In the first study, it was observed that the AHI showed a significant correlation with: BMI (r=0.207, p=0.047), NC (r=0.365, p<0.001), AC (r=0.337, p=0.001), PNS-P (r=0.282, p=0.006) and MP-H (r=0.235, p=0.023). In the second study, there was no correlation with BMI in patients aged 20 to 40 years old. In patients over 60 years of age, there was no significant correlation of cephalometric and anthropometric measures with AHI. However, the same alterations found in the entire sample were also observed in the 40 to 60 year age group. Conclusions: The anthropometric measures BMI, NC and AC and cephalometric measures MP-H and PNS-P may be used as indicators that are predictive of the severity of OSAS. Apart from BMI, the most important age group for the analysis of these measures was the 40 to 60 year age group

Abstract:

U cilju utvrđivanja efekata procene specifičnog programa vežbanjana motoričke sposobnosti i antropometrijske karakteristike dece predškolskog uzrasta, primenjene subaterija od 7 motoričkih testova i osam antropometrijskih mera. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 191predškolca (90 u eksperimentalnim i 101 u kontrolnim grupama), uzrasta od 4 do 5 godina. Oni su bili ispitanici u tri projekta koje je realizovao Fakultet sporta i fizičkog vaspitanja Novi Sad, u periodu od deset godina. Dobijeni podaci su analizirani multivarijacionom analizom kovarijanse (MANCOVA). Moglo se zaključiti da je primena eksperimentalnog programa vežbanja dovela do značajnog poboljšanja pojedinih motoričkih sposobnosti eksperimentalnih grupa u odnosu na kontrolne grupe. U prostoru antropometrije nije pokazana statistički značajna razlika između grupa u posmatrane tri vremenske tačke u periodu od deset godina. Ova doktorska disertacija je pokazala na pozitivne efekte na transformaciju pojedinih dimenzija antropološkog statusa u različitim vremenskim tačkama i sa različitim generacijama dece, bez obzira na socio-ekonomskog statusa nivo fizičke aktivnosti dece. U osnovi, praktična vrednost ovog rada je analizirani model kinezioloških aktivnosti, koji se može primeniti u svim klubovima i školama koje rade sa decom predškolskog i ranog školskog uzrasta.
In order to determine the evaluation effects of specific exercise program on motor abilities and anthropometric characteristicsof preschool children, a battery of 7 motor tests and eightanthropometric measures were applied.The current study was conducted on a sample of 191preschoolers (90 in the experimental and 101 in the control groups), aged 4 to 5 five. They were the respondents in three projects implemented by the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education Novi Sad, in the tenyear period. The obtained data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). It can be concluded that the application of experimental and control models of exercise resulted in substantial improvement of certain motor skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. In the space of anthropometry it was not statistically significant difference between groups in the observed three time points in the ten-year period.This doctoral thesis revealed that positive effects of the transformation of certain dimensions anthropological statusat different time points and with different generations of children, regardless of socioeconomic status, level of physical activity of children. In fact, the practical value of this work is to analyze the model of kinetic activities, which as such can be applied to all clubs and schools that work with children of preschool and early school age.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of exercise (EXE) alone or exercise combined with dietary supplements (EXE-SUPPL) on body composition and physical performance in subjects 60 years and older with sarcopenic obesity. Methods: A systematic review was carried out of studies identified through five search engines up to April 15, 2018. We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating EXE or EXE-SUPPL in elderly individuals with sarcopenic obesity for at least six weeks. Primary outcomes were percentage of body fat mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and hand grip strength. Random effects meta-analyses with the inverse variance method were used to evaluate the effects of interventions on outcomes. Effects were expressed as mean differences (MD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane tool. Results: Nine papers reporting seven RCTs (with a total of 558 participants) were included in the review. EXE alone and EXE-SUPPL increased grip strength (MD 1.30 kg; 95% CI 0.58–2.01), gait speed (MD 0.05 m/s; 95% CI 0.03–0.07) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (MD 0.40 kg; 95% CI 0.18–0.63). EXE alone and EXE-SUPPL reduced waist circumference (MD −1,40 cm; 95% CI −1.99 to −0.81), total fat mass (MD −1,77 kg; 95% CI −2.49 to −1.04), and trunk fat mass (MD −0.82 kg; 95% CI −1.22 to −0.42). Conclusion: EXE alone and EXE-SUPPL improved muscle-related outcomes and reduced fat-related outcomes in subjects with sarcopenic obesity. There is a need for better-designed RCTs with systematic assessment of both different exercise regimes and dietary supplements in sarcopenic obese subjects.

There is limited data on pregnant women. The relationship between nutrition in pregnancy and obstetric outcome was investigated. In particular the adherence to the Mediterranean diet of caucasian pregnant was analyzed, because it’s already considered a positive prognostic index in the normal population, to see if the dietary pattern is correlated with a lower incidence of complications in pregnancy related to poor nutrition and excessive weight, and then to an improvement of neonatal outcomes. 127 caucasian woman were enrolled voluntarily, pertaining to outpatient of the I.C.P. Buzzi Children’s Hospital, in Milan, and these were followed in the three trimesters of pregnancy. The trend of the nutritional profile during pregnancy was analyzed with a standardized questionnaire, to be able to detect the degree of adherence to the mediterranean diet, and the maternal weight gain has been detected combined with anthropometric measurements (skinfold and circumferences). All data collected were analyzed and were related with medical history, pregnant examinations routine, obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Of the 127 women who partecipated in the first meeting 97 have completed the course. The sample of urban Caucasian women is rather uniform, mainly composed of primigravida, nonsmokers, with a high cultural level and 79.5% of the sample is normal weight, with an average BMI 21.8. The nutritional profile shows that there are not significant differences in the Mediterranean score in the three trimesters of pregnancy, but only about 16% reaches the minimum cut off of adhesion and is correlated directly and significantly with the age of the mother (r = 0:23 , p = 0.01). In particular it a low fish consumption was noted (only 4% reported consuming at least 3 times a week), legumes (only 10.6% reported consuming at least three times a week), dried fruit and nuts (only 22.4% reported consuming at least once a week). Of these women, those underweight and normal weight had an average weight gain of 13 kg and then in the range, overweight women instead took an average of 14 kg compared to 11 kg indicated by the IOM. The Mediterranean score detected at the end of pregnancy was inversely correlated (of borderline significance: 00:07) with the increase in weight, and can be correlated with the variation of the subscapular fold, which is skinfold more indicative of the change in fat mass. The weight of the newborn was correlated significantly to maternal weight, the folds of subcutaneous fat measured at the end of pregnancy and maternal waist circumference. The weight change between the first and third trimester was associated to the change of the folds and thus significantly associated to the increase in fat mass, which is in turn associated with weight.

Abstract:

Ensaio clínico aleatorizado conduzido para avaliar o impacto de intervenção intensiva para mudança de estilo de vida em indivíduos com sobrepeso em um Centro de Saúde-Escola em São José do Rio Preto, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Dos 259 voluntários (203 mulheres e 56 homens; idade entre 25 e 72 anos) que concordaram em participar do estudo, 104 foram elegíveis (83 mulheres e 21 homens), sendo distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: grupo intervenção (10 homens e 41 mulheres), com acompanhamento nutricional individualizado, e grupo controle (11 homens e 42 mulheres), que receberam somente orientações gerais e folheto explicativo sobre estilo de vida saudável. A avaliação da composição corporal, indicadores bioquímicos, consumo alimentar e estilo de vida - incluindo-se a prática de atividades físicas, foi realizada no princípio, após 6 meses e 1 ano de estudo. A intervenção nutricional consistiu de incentivo ao consumo de frutas, vegetais, óleo de oliva e produtos lácteos pobres em gordura, associados com a redução do consumo de gorduras saturadas e doces, bem como o estímulo à prática de atividades físicas por pelo menos 30 minutos ao dia. O programa de intervenção mostrou-se efetivo na redução do consumo de calorias, gorduras totais, gorduras saturadas, colesterol, freqüência de carnes, óleos/gorduras e doces. Além disso, observamos um incremento no consumo de fibra total da dieta, fibras de frutas e vegetais, ß-caroteno, vitamina A, cálcio, freqüência de consumo de frutas em geral, vegetais em geral, vegetais verde escuros e leite/derivados. O programa mostrou-se viável em unidades básicas de saúde e efetivo na redução de peso, índice de massa corporal, pressão arterial, colesterol total, LDL colesterol, ácido úrico, homocisteína, aumento da prática de atividades físicas, contribuindo para a melhoria da qualidade de vida no grupo intervenção.
Randomized Nutritional Intervention trial was carried out to evaluate the impact of intensive intervention in changing life style of overweight adults attending at a primary health care in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo State, Brazil. Of the 259 volunteers (203 women and 56 men; 25 to 72 years old) that agreed in participating in the study, 104 were eligible (83 women and 21 men), and were randomly allocated in two groups: Nutrition Counseling group (42 women, 11 men) with individualized dietary counseling, and Control Group (41 women, 10 men) who recieved only general information and leaflets about healthy life style. The assessment of body composition, biochemical indicators, food consumption and life style including practice of physical activity were carried out at baseline, 6 months and 1 year. The dietary interventions included increased intake of fruits, vegetables, olive oil and skimmed dairy products, together with reduced intake of saturated fat and sweets, as well as instructions for regular practice of physical activity for at least 30 minutes per day. The intervention program demonstrated to be effective in reducing consumption of calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and frequency of meets, fats/oils and sweet groups. Moreover, we observed an increment in the consumption of dietary fiber, fiber of fruits and vegetables, ß-carotene, vitamin A, calcium, and in the frequency of fruits, vegetables, dark green vegetables and dairy products. The program demonstrated to be feasible at a primary health care unit and was effective in reducing weight, body mass index, blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, uric acid, homocysteine, and improved the physical activity level and quality of life in the intervention group.

Abstract:

Body fat, regional body fat and bone mineral mass, are linked to health conditions such as obesity and osteoporosis. The ethnic comparison of body composition may help to explain and understand the difference of health outcomes and health status in different ethnic groups. NZ Chinese is the largest Asian group in New Zealand, however, knowledge about health risks and body composition for NZ Chinese is very limited. Therefore, the aims of this thesis were: 1) To compare the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and percentage body fat (%BF) of European (M29, F37), Maori (M23, F23), Pacific people (M15, F23), and Asian Indian (M29, F25) (existing data) with NZ Chinese aged 30-39 years; 2) To compare fat distribution, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ApSM), bone mineral density (BMD) and limb bone lengths across these five ethnic groups. A convenience sample of healthy NZ Chinese (M20, F23) was selected by BMI to cover a wide range of body fatness. Total and regional body fat, fat free mass (FFM) and bone mineral content were measured by whole-body Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The main study findings were: • For a fixed BMI, NZ Chinese had a higher %BF than European and less %BF than Asian Indian. At a %BF equivalent to a BMI of 30 kg.m-2 in Europeans (WHO threshold for obesity), BMI values for Asian Indian and NZ Chinese women were 5.8 and 2.2 BMI units lower than European, respectively, and for Asian Indian and NZ Chinese men, 8.2 and 3.0 BMI units lower. • Abdominal-to-thigh fat ratio of NZ Chinese was significantly higher than that of European (P<0.001) and similar to that of Asian Indian. NZ Chinese had a significantly higher central-to-appendicular fat ratio than both Asian Indian and European (P<0.001). NZ Chinese was centrally fatter than European and Asian Indian. • For the same height and weight, NZ Chinese had significantly less FFM (-2.1 kg, P=0.039) and ApSM (-1.4kg, P=0.007) than European. NZ Chinese had significantly more FFM (+3.2 kg, P=0.001) than Asian Indian and similar ApSM to Asian Indian. • For the same weight, NZ Chinese had a similar BMD as European for female and male. NZ Chinese male had a higher BMD (+0.07 g.cm-2, P= 0.001) than Asian Indian male. • Among the five ethnic groups, NZ Chinese had the shortest leg (-1.5cm, P=0.016) and arm bone lengths (-2.3cm, P=0.001) (measured by DEXA) for the same DEXA height. Therefore, the relationship between percent body fat and BMI for Asian Indian and NZ Chinese differs from Europeans and from each other, which indicates that different BMI thresholds for obesity may be required for these Asian ethnic groups. Given the relatively high percentage body fat, low appendicular skeletal muscle mass and high central fat to appendicular fat ratio of NZ Chinese aged 30-39 years demonstrated in this study, promotion of healthy eating and physical activity is needed to be tailored for NZ Chinese. The NZ Chinese community should be advised to keep fit, prevent limited movements in older age, and to prevent obesity and obesity-related diseases.

Given the increased participation rates, burgeoning talent identification and recruitment programs and the reportedly high injury risk associated with competitive youth rugby in Zimbabwe and globally, the minimal qualities or skills defining good male adolescent rugby players need further clarification. This study assembled a testing battery and compared the anthropometric variables, physiological characteristics and rugby-specific game skills of Zimbabwean schoolboys to identify qualities and/or skills discriminating elite from sub-elite male adolescent rugby players and non-rugby players within and between Under 16 (U16) and U19 age categories. Methods: This study was structured in three phases. Phase I developed the School Clinical Rugby Measure (SCRuM) test battery based on amalgamated information derived from narrative literature review, qualitative study and two systematic reviews. Using mixed methods sequential explanatory study designs, Phase II refined the test battery through the evaluation of face and logical validity using key informants (n=5) and rugby experts (n=20), respectively. Subsequently, rugby coaches (n=30) assessed the practical feasibility of implementing each SCRuM test item in the local context considering test equipment, procedural and acceptability issues. Phase III evaluated the test-retest reliability of each SCRuM test item among a sample of elite U16s (n=41) and U19s (n=41). The final study in Phase III compared cross-sectional test performances of 208 athletes from different playing standards and age category to identify SCRuM test items discriminating (i) older (U19) players from younger (U16) players regardless of playing standards, and (ii) elite from both sub-elite and nonrugby players regardless of age. Results: Phase I produced the first version of the SCRuM test battery with 23 variables. Phase II reduced the constituent components to 15 variables. The test-retest reliability study showed high intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC>0.70) for all SCRuM test items except for the 5-m, 10-m speed tests and passing-for-accuracy test. Age category had a significant main effect on all SCRuM test items except for sum of seven skinfolds (p=0.45, η2 p=0.003). Playing standard had a significant main effect ii on all variables except for height (p=0.40, η2 p=0.01) and sum of seven skinfolds (p=0.11, η2 p =0.02). Upper-and-lower body muscular strength and power, prolonged high-intensity intermittent running ability, repeated high-intensity exercise performance ability, tackling, passing and catching significantly improved with increasing playing standards. However, the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 test, vertical jump test, tackling proficiency test and running-and-catching ability skills test demonstrated greater discriminative ability across playing standards among U16s. The 40-m speed test, 2-kg medicine ball chest throw test, repeated high-intensity exercise test, one-repetition maximum bench press and back squat tests, and passing ability skills test showed better discriminative validity for differentiating U19s by playing standards. Conclusion: Irrespective of playing standard and consistent with previous studies, all SCRuM test items significantly increased with age except for skinfolds measures. These results highlight the sensitivity of component SCRuM test items in discriminating younger (U16s) from older (U19s) athletes. U16 coaches should consider these differences when designing training interventions to assist with the development of prospective U19 players. However, prolonged high-intensity intermittent running ability, lower-body muscular power, tackling proficiency and running-andcatching ability demonstrated greater discriminative ability among U16s only, indicating a possible link to higher playing standards for that age category. Upper-body muscular power, upper-and-lowerbody muscular strength, 40-m sprinting ability, repeated high-intensity exercise performance ability, and passing ability significantly improved with playing standards among U19s, highlighting the physiological characteristics and game skills capable of differentiating elite male adolescent rugby players from both sub-elite or non-rugby players at that age category. Collectively, these findings provide insight to the high school rugby coaches into the qualities and skills contextually relevant for training for the attainment of higher playing standards in schoolboy rugby at distinct age categories.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: The key objective of the present investigation was to compare associations between sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), waist circumference, and BMI to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), along with fasting glucose, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR, in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. The study also analyzed the effect of multiple covariates on the anthropometric and glucose metabolism associations. METHODS: A cross-sectional design, including 3,582 subjects, was used. SAD was assessed using an abdominal caliper. All other data were collected following strict NHANES protocol. The OGTT was the primary variable used to index glucose metabolism. Fasting glucose, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR were also evaluated. RESULTS: Mean ± SE values were as follows: SAD: 22.3 ± 0.1 cm; waist circumference: 98.0 ± 0.4 cm; BMI: 28.6 ± 0.2 kg/m2; OGTT: 113.9 ± 1.0 mg/dL; fasting glucose: 99.6 ± 0.3 mg/dL; HbA1c: 5.4 ± 0.01%; HOMA-IR: 3.2 ± 0.1. SAD consistently emerged as the best predictor of all the indices of glucose metabolism, before and after adjusting for the covariates, and with the sample stratified by gender, race, or age. SAD was not a better predictor of OGTT among normal weight adults and non-Hispanic black adults. CONCLUSION: Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is strongly related to glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes. In the present study, SAD was the best anthropometric predictor of glucose metabolism, notwithstanding the high correlations among SAD, waist circumference, and BMI. Due to the ease of taking a SAD measurement, we recommend that healthcare providers consider the use of this simple and inexpensive method to more precisely predict diabetes risk, especially among overweight and obese adults.

Abstract:

Le diabète gestationnel (DG), dont la prévalence était de 10,8% en 2016 en France, est associée à une morbidité maternelle et néonatale. Actuellement, le traitement de référence est l’insulinothérapie. Le glyburide est efficace notamment sur le contrôle de l’équilibre glycémique par rapport à l'insuline. Cependant, il serait associé à une augmentation du risque d’hypoglycémie maternelle et néonatale en comparaison à l’insulinothérapie.L’objectif général de cette thèse était de mieux comprendre les déterminants de l’hypoglycémie maternelle et de l’hypoglycémie néonatale à partir d’analyses ancillaires et secondaires issues de l’essai randomisé national INDAO, publié en 2018.Les objectifs spécifiques étaient d’étudier 1-le passage transplacentaire de glyburide à l'accouchement, 2-l'association entre les mesures anthropométriques néonatales (rapport poids-taille (RPT) et poids de naissance) et l'hypoglycémie néonatale chez les femmes bénéficiant d’un traitement médicamenteux du DG, 3-l'association entre l’hypoglycémie maternelle et les variants à fonction diminuée CYP2C9*2 et les variants perte de fonction CYP2C9*3 et OATP1B3*4, puis l'association entre la dose quotidienne de glyburide et les porteurs de variants perte et diminution de fonction.Nous avons montré qu’il existait un passage placentaire du glyburide avec un rapport de la concentration de glyburide fœtus/mère de 0,62 (IC 95% : 0,50-0,74). Le risque d'hypoglycémie néonatale augmentait de manière significative avec l’augmentation de la concentration de glyburide dans le cordon ombilical, indépendamment de la macrosomie néonatale. Ensuite, nous avons montré que le risque accru d'hypoglycémie néonatale est associé de manière indépendante à des valeurs extrêmes du RPT, pour un faible Z-score du RPT (inférieur à -1,28), et un Z-score du RPT élevé (supérieur à 1,28), indépendamment du traitement maternel. Enfin, nous avons constaté un taux augmenté d'hypoglycémie maternelle au début du traitement par glyburide dans le groupe variant comprenant les porteuses de l’allèle CYP2C9*3 et/ou d'OATP1B*4 à l’état homozygote, associé à une augmentation moindre de la dose de glyburide et à une dose plus faible de glyburide atteinte en fin de traitement.Ces travaux apportent de nouvelles connaissances concernant le mécanisme d’action du glyburide chez les femmes enceintes, permettant une meilleure utilisation dans le traitement du DG. Demeurent cependant pour l’enfant les conséquences potentielles à long terme de l’exposition prolongée in utero au glyburide
Gestational diabetes (GD), whose prevalence in France was 10.8% in 2016, is associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity. Currently, the reference treatment is insulin therapy. Glyburide is effective, particularly in achieving glycemic control, compared with insulin. However, according to some studies, it is associated with an increased risk of maternal and neonatal hypoglycemia compared to insulin therapy.The main objective of this thesis was to better understand the determinants of maternal hypoglycemia and neonatal hypoglycemia based on ancillary and secondary analyses from the national randomized INDAO trial, published in 2018. The specific objectives were to investigate 1-the transplacental transfer of glyburide at delivery, 2-the association between neonatal anthropometric measures (weight-for-length ratio [WLR] and birth weight) and neonatal hypoglycemia in women receiving drug therapy for GD, 3-the association between maternal hypoglycemia and CYP2C9*2 reduced-function variants and CYP2C9*3 and OATP1B3*4 loss-of-function variants, and then in a second step to investigate the association between daily glyburide dose and carriers of loss-of-function and reduced-function variants.First, we showed that there was a placental transfer of glyburide with a fetal/maternal glyburide concentration ratio of 0.62 (95% CI 0.50-0.74). The risk of neonatal hypoglycemia increased significantly with increasing umbilical cord blood glyburide concentration, regardless of neonatal macrosomia. Second, we showed that the increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia was independently associated with extreme values of WLR, for a low WLR Z-score (less than -1.28) and a high WLR Z-score (greater than 1.28), regardless of maternal treatment. Finally, we found an increased rate of maternal hypoglycemia at the beginning of glyburide treatment in the variant group including carriers of the CYP2C9*3 and/or OATP1B*4 allele in a homozygous state, associated with a smaller glyburide dose increment and a lower glyburide dose reached at the end of treatment.This thesis work provides new insights into the mechanism of action of glyburide in pregnant women, allowing for better use in the treatment of GD. However, the potential long-term consequences for the child of prolonged in utero exposure to glyburide remain

The methods of analysis of the selection system sports talent sometimes do not consider the biological age of the athletes, since that the assessment of maturational moment have several limitations The aim of this work is to develop a predictive equation of pubertal assessment in male subjects, based on anthropometric measurements. We evaluated 206 young boys, aged between eight and 18 years, and studing in public and private schools in Natal, Brazil. The sample selection was done randomly, being used the anthropometric measurements and pubertal maturation evaluation according to the Tanner stages. Statistical analysis followed the presentation of central tendency measures and their derivatives. The inferential analysis was performed according to the ANOVA test, multivariate discriminant analysis and weighted Kappa. The advancement of pubertal stages was accompanied by significant changes in anthropometric variables, demonstrating the relationship presented in both. For this purpose, discriminant analysis selected eight variables with the highest prediction of pubertal maturation, and created an equation with a significance level of 75%. and concordance level of 0.840, considered as excellent. This shows that the prediction of pubertal maturation from anthropometric variables presented as a valid method, being used as a practical tool in sports talents selection

Abstract:

Introdução: há vários relatos na literatura que referem o aumento progressivo da obesidade em mulheres de nível sócio-econômico baixo das áreas urbanas. Os fatores que podem estar relacionados à transição nutricional nesse estrato da sociedade ainda são muito controversos. Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a freqüência de obesidade, e fatores associados em mulheres numa área de exclusão social da cidade de São Paulo. Métodos: foi realizado um estudo transversal, entre o período de junho de 2002 a abril de 2004, em 116 mulheres moradoras de favelas na periferia e região metropolitana de São Paulo. O desfecho antropométrico primário foi o índice de massa corpórea (IMC). As mulheres foram categorizadas em três estratos de índice de massa corpórea [IMC] (= 25.0 kg/m2; 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2; and = 30.0 kg/m2). Os grupos foram comparados entre si, quanto às características referentes às variáveis de provável exclusão social, hábitos de vida e clínico laboratoriais (medidas antropométricas e fatores de risco cardiovasculares). O modelo logístico usado analisou as variáveis independentes associadas ao sobrepeso e obesidade. Resultados: a freqüência de obesidade nessa amostra (28.4%), foi maior que a observada em outros estudos brasileiros. Após o ajuste multivariado, comparadas às mulheres magras (IMC < 25 kg/m2), as que possuíam história de três ou mais partos foram mais sobrepeso (Razão de chance [RC], 3.4; 95% Intervalo de confiança [95% IC], 1.2-9.6) e obesas (razão de chance [RC], 5,3; 95% Intervalo de confiança [95% IC], 1,6-17,5). Mulheres brancas comparadas com o grupo de referência (magras e negras) foram mais obesas. (RC, 9.9; 95% IC, 1.5-64.6). Comparadas às magras, mulheres obesas apresentaram maiores níveis de dislipidemia por HDL-colesterol baixo (RC, 10; IC 95%, 2.5-50) e hipertrigliceridemia (RC, 8.4; IC95%, 1.5-48). Nessas mulheres de baixo nível sócio-econômico, paridade e raça foram os mais importantes fatores associados à obesidade. Mulheres com cor da pele branca foram claramente mais obesas que as de cor negra e parda.
To evaluate the prevalence and associated risk factors for obesity in low-income women living in a metropolitan area of the city of São Paulo. Methods: Cross-sectional study (116 women) living in slums. Women were categorized in three body-mass index strata [BMI] (=25.0 kg/m 2 ; 25 to 29.9 kg/m2; and = 30.0 kg/m2). Groups were compared regarding variables of social inequalities and clinical assessment: anthropometric measurements and cardiovascular risk factors. A logistic model was used to analyze the independent variables associated with overweight and obesity. Results: Frequency of obesity of 28.4% was higher than in other Brazilian samples. After multivariate adjustment, compared to lean, women with three or more childbearing were more overweight (Odds Ratio [OR], 3.4; 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI], 1.2-9.6) and obese (Odds Ratio [OR], 5,3; 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI], 1,6-17,5). White women compared to reference group (lean and African American women) were also more obese. (OR, 9.9; 95% CI, 1.5-64.6). Compared to lean, obese women had lower HDL-cholesterol levels (OR, 10; 95% CI, 2.5-50) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR, 8.4; 95% CI, 1.5-48). In these low-income women, parity and race were the most important factors associated to obesity. White women were clearly more obese than mullato and African American women.

Abstract:

A avaliação da morfologia orofacial sob o enfoque antroposcópico, bem como a mensuração das estruturas orofaciais, é importante aspecto do exame fonoaudiológico, contribuindo para a determinação do diagnóstico, do planejamento terapêutico e do prognóstico dos indivíduos com respiração oral. Os objetivos desta tese foram: 1. descrever as características posturais e morfológicas dos órgãos fonoarticulatórios de crianças respiradoras orais, segundo a idade; 2. descrever as medidas e proporções orofaciais de crianças respiradoras orais, segundo a idade e; 3. comparar as medidas e proporções orofaciais de crianças respiradoras orais com as medidas e proporções orofaciais de crianças sem queixas fonoaudiológicas, segundo a idade. A tese encontra-se dividida em três estudos: Estudo I -Características posturais e morfológicas dos órgãos fonoarticulatórios de crianças respiradoras orais: enfoque antroposcópico; Estudo II - Medidas e proporções orofaciais de crianças respiradoras orais; e Estudo III -Comparação entre medidas e proporções orofaciais de crianças respiradoras orais e de crianças sem queixas fonoaudiológicas. Participaram dos estudos 100 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre sete anos e 11 anos e 11 meses, leucodermas, em dentição mista, com diagnóstico de respiração oral. No Estudo III, o grupo controle foi composto de 254 crianças, de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária entre sete anos e 11 anos e 11 meses, leucodermas, em dentição mista e sem queixas fonoaudiológicas. As características posturais e morfológicas dos órgãos fonoarticulatórios das crianças respiradoras orais pesquisadas no Estudo I foram posição habitual de lábios e de língua, possibilidade de vedamento labial, hiperfunção do músculo mentual durante a oclusão labial, mordida e morfologia do lábio inferior, das bochechas e do palato duro, por meio da antroposcopia. Os resultados indicaram que os aspectos mais comuns na amostra foram posição habitual de lábios entreaberta, posição habitual de língua no assoalho oral, possibilidade de vedamento labial, hiperfunção do músculo mentual durante a oclusão dos lábios, mordida alterada, lábio inferior com eversão, simetria de bochechas e palato duro alterado. Nos Estudos II e III, as crianças foram submetidas à avaliação antropométrica, sendo que as medidas orofaciais obtidas foram lábio superior, lábio inferior, filtro, terço superior da face, terço médio da face, terço inferior da face, lados da face e distância interincisiva máxima. O instrumento utilizado foi o paquímetro eletrônico digital marca Starrett Série 727. Os resultados do Estudo II evidenciaram que não houve diferença estatisticamente entre a maioria das médias das medidas e proporções orofaciais de crianças respiradoras orais, segundo a idade. Os resultados do Estudo III mostraram que para algumas medidas e proporções orofaciais houve diferença estatística entre as duas populações estudadas. Conclui-se, ao analisar os três estudos, que as alterações antroposcópicas parecem ser mais evidentes nos respiradores orais do que as alterações antropométricas. Por fim, tem-se que a antropometria mostra-se útil na avaliação fonoaudiológica, complementando o julgamento visual com medidas quantitativas.
The evaluation of the orofacial morphology made by anthroposcopic approach, as well as the measurement of orofacial structures, is an important aspect from the speech-language pathology assessment that contributes to determination of diagnosis, management and prognosis of mouth breathing individuals. The purposes of this thesis were: 1. to describe the postural and morphologic characteristics of the stomatognathic system of mouth breathing children, according to age; 2. to describe the orofacial measurements and proportions of mouth breathing children, according to age and; 3. to compare the orofacial measurements and proportions of mouth breathing children to those of children with no history of speech-language pathology disorders, according to age. The thesis is divided in three studies: Study I - Postural and morphologic characteristics of the stomatognathic system of mouth breathing children: anthroposcopic approach; Study II - Orofacial measurements and proportions of mouth breathing children; and Study III - Comparation between measurements and proportions of mouth breathing children and children with no history of speech-language pathology disorders. 100 children participated in the studies, of both sexes, with ages ranging from seven to 11 years and 11 months, leukoderms, in mixed dentition period, with mouth breathing diagnosis. In Study III, the control group was comprised of 254 children, of both sexes, with ages ranging from seven to 11 years and 11 months, leukoderms, in mixed dentition period, with no history of speech-language pathology disorders. The postural and morphologic characteristics of the stomatognathic system of mouth breathing children researched in Study I were labial and lingual resting position, possibility of labial occlusion, mentalis muscle hyperfunction during labial occlusion, bite and morphology of lower lip, cheeks and hard palate, observed by anthroposcopy approach. The results indicated that the most common aspects in the sample were half-open lips in resting position, tongue lowered on the mouth\'s floor in resting position, possibility of labial occlusion, mentalis muscle hyperfunction during labial occlusion, alteration of the bite, labioverted, symmetry of the cheeks and alteration of the hard palate. In Studies II and III, the children were submitted to anthropometric assessment and the orofacial measurements obtained were upper lip, lower lip, philtrum, upper face, middle face, lower face, sides of the face and maximum interincisal distance. The instrument used was the electronic digital sliding caliper Starrett Series 727. The results of Study II showed that there was no statistically difference between the most of averages of the orofacial measurements and proportions of mouth breathing children, according to ages. The results of Study III showed that in some orofacial measurements and proportions there was statistically difference between the two studied populations. In analysis of the three studies, it can be concluded that the anthroposcopic alterations seems to be more evident in mouth breathers than anthropometric alterations. Finally, the anthropometry shows useful in speech-language pathology assessment and supplements visual judgment with quantitative measurements.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram obter medidas antropométricas faciais, a medida interincisiva máxima e proporções faciais em crianças, verificar se há diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as médias das medidas e proporções faciais, segundo idade e sexo, comparar a distância do canto externo do olho ao cheilion do lado direito com o lado esquerdo da face e comparar as médias das medidas antropométricas faciais desta amostra com os padrões de normalidade para crianças norte-americanas. Participaram 254 crianças, 117 do sexo masculino e 137 do sexo feminino, com idades entre 7,0 e 11,11 anos, leucodermas, em dentição mista, sem queixas fonoaudiológicas e/ou histórico de tratamento fonoaudiológico prévio e/ou atual. As medidas antropométricas faciais obtidas foram lábio superior, lábio inferior, filtro, terço superior da face, terço médio da face, terço inferior da face e distância entre o canto externo do olho e o cheilion no lado direito e esquerdo da face. As proporções faciais obtidas foram as estabelecidas entre o lábio superior e o lábio inferior, entre o terço superior da face e o terço médio da face e entre o terço médio da face e o terço inferior da face. O instrumento utilizado foi o paquímetro digital marca Starrett Série 727. Os resultados mostraram que, para o lábio superior e para o filtro, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as médias segundo idade, em ambos os sexos. Nas demais medidas faciais, observou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as médias, segundo idade. Na maioria das medidas faciais, as meninas apresentaram médias inferiores às obtidas para os meninos. As proporções faciais não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as médias segundo idade, em ambos os sexos. As médias da distância entre o canto externo do olho e o cheilion no lado direito da face foram estatisticamente maiores do que as médias dessa distância no lado esquerdo da face. Os resultados obtidos nesta amostra para o lábio superior, o lábio inferior e o terço inferior da face encontram-se abaixo das médias descritas para as crianças norte-americanas. Os resultados desta amostra, referentes ao filtro, coincidem com as médias descritas para as crianças norte-americanas.
The purposes of this study were to obtain anthropometric facial measurements, the maximum distance between incisors and facial proportions in children, to verify if there is statistically significant difference among the averages of the facial measurements and proportions, according age and sex, to compare the distance from the exocanthion to the cheilion of the right side that of the left side of the face and to compare the averages of the anthropometric facial measurements of this sample with the North American norms. 254 children participated, 117 male and 137 female, with ages ranging from 7,0 to 11,11 years, leukoderm, in mixed dentition period, with no history of speech and swallowing disorders or treatment. The collected anthropometric facial measurements were upper lip, lower lip, philtrum, upper face, middle face, lower face and the distance from the exocanthion to the cheilion of each side of the face. The collected facial proportions were between the upper lip and lower lip, between the upper face and middle face and between middle face and lower face. The used instrument was the electronic digital sliding caliper Starrett Series 727. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference among averages according age, in both sexes, to the upper lip and to the philtrum. In others facial measurements, statistically significant difference among averages according age was observed. In the majority of facial measurements, girls showed lower averages than boys. The facial proportions did not show statistically significant difference among averages according to age, in both sexes. The averages of the distance from the exocanthion to the cheilion in right side of the face were statistically higher than the averages of the distance from the exocanthion to the cheilion in left side of the face. The results of this sample referring to upper lip, lower lip and lower face were lower than the North American norms for children. The results of this sample referring the philtrum were the same as the North American norms for children.

Anthropometric measures provide fundamental data to designs related to human beings. Anthropometric measures for children are important as these data are vital for products and facilities designed for children. This research was conducted to measure body dimensions for junior elementary students which may be used for designs for children. Thirty two males and 33 females, aged 6 to 7 years old, participated in the study. Fifty eight static dimensions were collected. The results showed that the subjects’ shoulder width, elbow-middle finger length, hand length, palm length, hand width (thumb included), hand width (thumb excluded) were significantly different from those reported by Wang et al.(2002). In addition, obvious difference between our results and those in the literature were observed for the ratios of linear dimension versus stature for shoulder width, arm length, elbow-middle finger length, and hand length. These results are applicable in product and facility design for children.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are among the leading causes of death in the United States. The Metabolic Syndrome, which comprises a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, puts individuals at increased risk for these diseases. It is therefore important that people with Metabolic Syndrome, at high risk for CVD and type 2 diabetes, are identified and treated. Since it may not often be practical to obtain the laboratory measures necessary for diagnosing the Metabolic Syndrome, simple anthropometric measures are a useful way of quickly identifying individuals at increased risk for the Metabolic Syndrome. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the utility of three of the most commonly used anthropometric measures – Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WC) – for classifying individuals with and without the Metabolic Syndrome and its component risk factors in the United States. Using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and Area Under the Curve (AUC) statistics, this thesis will assess the utility of each body measurement and compare it to BMI. METHODS: A large, multi-ethnic, nationally representative sample from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010 was used for this analysis. The study sample was restricted to adults aged 20-65 with complete information on height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, fasting glucose, and triglycerides (n=3,769). In order to compare the utility of different anthropometric measures for classification, weighted ROC curves were constructed for each anthropometric measure-outcome combination and AUC statistics were compared. AUC statistics were calculated by approximating the definite integral of the ROC curves with the trapezoidal rule. Variances for AUC statistics and differences in AUC statistics were estimated with jackknife repeated replication. Analyses were completed for the entire sample and separately for non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans. RESULTS: For the entire sample, WC (AUC=0.752) did a better job than BMI (AUC=0.728) at classifying individuals with and without the Metabolic Syndrome (p CONCLUSION: Waist circumference should be considered, especially over BMI, for risk stratification in clinical settings and research. Further research should attempt to identify optimum waist circumference cut points for use in the US population.

Background A recent Genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAS) of refractive error reported shared genetics with anthropometric traits such as height, BMI and obesity. To explore a potential relationship with refractive error and ocular structure we performed a life-course analysis including both maternal and child characteristics using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children cohort. Methods Measures collected across the life-course were analysed to explore the association of height, weight, and BMI with refractive error and ocular biometric measures at age 15 years from 1613children. The outcome measures were the mean spherical equivalent (MSE) of refractive error (dioptres), axial length (AXL; mm), and radius of corneal curvature (RCC; mm). Potential confounding variables; maternal age at conception, maternal education level, parental socio-economic status, gestational age, breast-feeding, and gender were adjusted for within each multi-variable model. Results Maternal height was positively associated with teenage AXL (0.010 mm; 95% CI: 0.003, 0.017) and RCC (0.005 mm; 95% CI: 0.003, 0.007), increased maternal weight was positively associated with AXL (0.004 mm; 95% CI: 0.0001, 0.008). Birth length was associated with an increase in teenage AXL (0.067 mm; 95% CI: 0.032, 0.10) and flatter RCC (0.023 mm; 95% CI: 0.013, 0.034) and increasing birth weight was associated with flatter RCC (0.005 mm; 95% CI: 0.0003, 0.009). An increase in teenage height was associated with a lower MSE (− 0.007 D; 95% CI: − 0.013, − 0.001), an increase in AXL (0.021 mm; 95% CI: 0.015, 0.028) and flatter RCC (0.008 mm; 95% CI: 0.006, 0.010). Weight at 15 years was associated with an increase in AXL (0.005 mm; 95% CI: 0.001, 0.009). Conclusions At each life stage (pre-natal, birth, and teenage) height and weight, but not BMI, demonstrate an association with AXL and RCC measured at age 15 years. However, the negative association between refractive error and an increase in height was only present at the teenage life stage. Further research into the growth pattern of ocular structures and the development of refractive error over the life-course is required, particularly at the time of puberty.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to compare different anthropometric measures in terms of their ability to predict T2DM and to determine whether predictive ability was modified by ethnicity. Anthropometrics were measured at baseline on 1073 non-Hispanic Whites (nHW), African Americans (AA) and Hispanics (HA), of which 146 developed T2DM after 5.2 years. Logistic regression models were used with areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AROC) comparing the prediction of models. Overall, there was no clear distinction between measures of overall and central obesity in terms of T2DM prediction. Waist-height ratio (AROC=0.678) was the most predictive measure, followed by BMI (AROC=0.674). Results were similar in nHW and HA, although, in AA, central adiposity measures best predicted T2DM. Measures of central and overall adiposity predicted T2DM to a similar degree, except in AA where central measures were most predictive.

Abstract:

O excesso de peso e obesidade na infância são problemáticas de crescente preocupação mundialmente. Deste modo, o presente estudo integra-se no projeto "Intervenção no excesso de peso e na obesidade infantil: Eficácia de um programa para pais enquanto agentes de mudança (LifeStyle)", promovido pela Faculdade de Psicologia e Ciências da Educação da Universidade do Porto, que visa avaliar a eficácia do programa Triplo P Lifestyle de grupo (TPLG) em Portugal, para crianças entre cinco e dez anos no combate ao excesso de peso e obesidade, tendo os pais como agentes da mudança. O presente estudo procurou analisar o efeito da intervenção nas medidas antropométricas das crianças, na perceção dos pais relativamente ao consumo de alimentos dos seus filhos e nas práticas parentais de alimentação. Foram recrutados 57 participantes, que foram aleatoriamente distribuídos por um grupo de controlo com uma condição treatment-as-usual (TAU), consistindo em consultas de nutrição com pediatras do Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte (CMIN) e um grupo de intervenção, que adicionalmente recebeu a intervenção Lifestyle. Devido à pandemia COVID-19, o TPLG foi também implementado em formato online, mantendo-se, no entanto, os princípios gerais e estratégias da intervenção. Os resultados apontam para diferenças significativas na perceção do consumo de frutas e legumes no do grupo de intervenção, tendo este aumentado em relação ao grupo TAU. A nível das práticas parentais de alimentação, da perceção dos pais relativamente à alimentação e nas medidas antropométricas, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas embora se detetasse, em todas as variáveis, uma tendência positiva por parte do grupo de intervenção, podendo ser indicador de diferenças significativas no futuro e indiciando assim o impacto positivo do programa nos participantes e nas suas crianças. Os resultados são discutidos em função da pandemia de COVID-19, e da forma como afetou o estilo de vida dos pais e das crianças, concluindo-se pela necessidade de continuidade na implementação do programa TPLG, a fim de confirmar a sua eficácia na população portuguesa.

Abstract:

Background and objectives Evidence suggests that circulating IGF-I levels increase mammographic density (a breast cancer risk factor) and breast cancer risk in premenopausal women. The objective of this thesis was to examine the association of genetic variation at the IGF1 gene with IGF-I concentration, mammographic density, breast cancer risk, and related anthropometric measures in premenopausal women. Methods Three IGF1 CA repeat polymorphisms (at the 5′ and 3′ ends, and in intron 2) were genotyped. A cross-sectional design was used to investigate their associations with IGF-I levels, mammographic density, BMI, weight, and height. Families from registries in Ontario and Australia were used to investigate associations with breast cancer risk and also BMI, weight and height. Results In the cross-sectional study, greater number of copies of the 5′ 19 allele were associated with lower circulating IGF-I levels. Greater number of 3′ 185 alleles were associated with greater percentage breast density, smaller amount of non-dense tissue, and lower BMI. Including BMI in regression models removed the association of the 3′ 185 allele with percentage breast density. In the family based study, nominally significant associations (5′ 21 allele, intron 2 212 allele, intron 2 216 allele) with breast cancer risk were observed, but significance was lost after multiple comparison adjustment. There was a stronger association between the intron 2 216 allele and risk under a recessive model, and 5′ allele groupings of length 18 to 20 and 20 or more repeats produced significant positive and negative associations respectively. These associations were not strongly supported in analyses stratified by registry. Results from the family based study did not support an association between genetic variation at IGF1 with BMI, weight or height. Conclusions No specific IGF1 variant influenced each of circulating IGF-I levels, mammographic density, and breast cancer risk. The failure to replicate the association of the 3′ 185 allele with BMI in the family based study suggests that the association of the 3′ 185 allele with percentage breast density is spurious, since this association was mediated through the relationship with BMI (suggesting IGF-I action on body fat). Evidence for an association between IGF1 and breast cancer risk was limited.

Ramadan, but only 49 subjects filled out the anthropometric and lifestyle factors questionnaires before and after Ramadan, and 39 subjects provided the dietary records during regular days and during Ramadan. Results For the socio demographic parameters (n=165), most of the subjects were female (63%), were unmarried (86.7%), domicile in Indonesia (67.3%), having Bachelor degree (50.9%), and college students (60%). The age of subjects was 24.3±2.6 years old. Moreover, most of the subjects had normal range of BMI (63%), obese (15.2%), underweight (12.7%), and v overweight (9.1%). For the socio demographic characteristics of sub-sample (n=49), most of the subjects were female (n=34), unmarried (n=43), domicile in Indonesia (n=28), having Bachelor degree (n=25), and college students (n=33). Moreover, most of the subjects had normal of BMI (n=30), obese (n=10), underweight (n=6), and overweight (n=3). For the body weight by gender, the results showed there were 98.7% the recommendation for body weight in female (n=104), as well as 106.3 % of the recommendation for body weight in male (n=61). While the mean of height, there were 98.9% of the recommendation for height in female, and 100.4% of the recommendation for height in male. Before Ramadan, the body weight and BMI was 55.8±10.8 kg and 22.0±3.4 kg/m2, respectively. After Ramadan, the body weight and BMI was 54.8±10.7 kg and 21.6±3.4 kg/m2, respectively. The differences between the subjects‟ body weight as well as their BMI reported before and after Ramadan were significant (n=49; p=0.008; and p=0.012, respectively). Energy, protein, fat, n-6 PUFA, and phosphorus reduced significantly from regular to Ramadan days (n=39; 1687.7±433.7 to 1521.3±363.7 kcal, p=0.004; 65.1±20.9 to 54.7±15.8 g, p=0.001; 62.3±21.0 to 49.4±16.9 g, p<0.0001; 13.8±7.4 to 8.9±4.3 g, p<0.0001; 839.1±233.5 to 735.7±215.7 mg, p=0.005, respectively). However, carbohydrate intake did not change significantly (233.3±113.6 to 215.6±59.9 g, p=0.856). Based on RDA in Indonesia, the percentage of intakes of protein, n-6 PUFA, and vi phosphorus showed approaching RDA in both female and male, but not in energy, carbohydrate and fat. The percentage of intakes of energy, carbohydrate and fat were less than 90% RDA in both female and male. In other hand, the intake of vitamin A was more than 110% RDA, referred over intake in both female and male. A nonparametric test (Mann-Whitney U test) was used for analyzing the difference of median of energy and nutrients in female and male, because the data were not normal distribution. The results showed only calcium which was significant difference between female and male (p=0.024). Of the lifestyle factors, exercise durations, and food expenses decreased significantly (n=49; 27.3±26.9 minutes to 16.1±18.9 minutes, p=0.002; 43595.9±27645.2 IDR to 36548.9±29937.2 IDR, p=0.02, respectively). Moreover, sleep durations and disease occurrences did not change significantly during Ramadan fasting compared to during last 3 months before Ramadan. Using McNemar‟s test, only frequency of exercise significantly changed during Ramadan (n=49, p=0.002). However, no significant tendency was found for subjects Regarding their sleep quality, health status, and food access (n=49; p= 0.454; p=0.227; p=0.070, respectively). For other informations, the subjects had weighing scale were 37.6% (n=62), while there were 62.4% who did not had it (n=103). The number of subjects who felt difficult for weighing body weight were 72.8% (n=75), only 22.3% who felt easy, and 4.9% missing. vii There were 32.7% of subject who did full month fasting (n=16), and 67.3% of subjects did not fast completely (n=33). The most reason why they did not fasting in full month was period of menstruation (84.8%) in female. Found of the results, the frequencies of total fasting days were 25.4±3.8 days in subjects (n=49). The minimum days of fasting in subjects were 17 days during Ramadan. Furthermore, we found that there was no correlation between the difference of BMI and total fasting days (n=49, p=0.772), as well as the difference of body weight and total fasting days (n=49, p=0.749) Conclusions The majority of subjects are college students. The body weight, BMI; intake of energy, protein, fat, n-6 PUFA, phosphorus; lifestyles of food expenses, exercise durations, and frequency of exercise of young adult Indonesian Muslims decreased significantly during Ramadan fasting when compared those in regular days. Both male and female, the body weight and the height approach ideal measures in Indonesia.

Abstract:

The impact of S. haematobium infection on nutritional and health status with regards to hemoglobin levels, anthropometric measures, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, and the effect of praziquantel treatment on these parameters six months after intervention were studied in primary school children in Bertoua, Cameroon. The prevalence of schistosomiasis in the study sample was 23.9%, 10% of whom had heavy infection (egg count $>$ 499 per 10 ml of urine). Malaria and hookworm infection affected 42.6% and 23.2% respectively. The mean hemoglobin level of the study population with and without S. haematobium infection was 12.1 g/dl. There was no difference in mean hemoglobin levels per intensity of infection. Mean hemoglobin levels were significantly lower in children with malaria, splenomegaly or hepatomegaly. The percent median weight for age, height for age and weight for height of the study sample were 83.7%, 94.3% and 97.5% respectively. Mean height for age and weight for age indices were significantly greater in the uninfected than the infected (p $<$ 0.001). Subjects with light-moderate S. haematobium infection (1-499 eggs/10 ml urine) were randomly allocated to either praziquantel treatment (PZQ, n = 238) or placebo (PLB, n = 198) groups. The uninfected controls (NON, n = 174) were randomly selected from the study population. Children were examined before and six months after praziquantel treatment. Hemoglobin levels and height for age indices decreased significantly (p $<$ 0.05) in all three groups but anthropometric measures increased significantly between the two exams. Increase in mid arm circumference was significantly different between the PZQ and NON (p = 0.036) and marginally significant between the PZQ and PLB (p = 0.056). Praziquantel had no significant effect on hepatomegaly or splenomegaly. There was an interaction between changes in hemoglobin levels and malaria (p = 0.0015). Neither iron nor folic acid was responsible for the increase in hemoglobin levels observed one month after deworming and iron/folic acid intervention. Praziquantel treatment did not have a significant effect on the nutritional status of these children after six months despite the impact of S. haematobium infection on growth

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if anthropometric, performance and psychological measures could predict selection and acceptance of participants in a Talent Identification (TID) program for cycling. Participants (n = 72; male = 46; female = 26; age = 15.4 ± 2.0 yrs) underwent measurements of height, body mass, maximal aerobic power, sprint running speed, leg power, sport commitment, explanatory style and physical self-concept. Discriminant function analysis was used to determine which of these variables related to both selection and acceptance into the cycling TID squad. Maximal aerobic power, running speed, and leg power made significant (p <.05) contributions to selection into the TID program. Sport commitment was predictive of accepting the invitation into the TID program. The results suggest that although physical performance capacities were predictive of selection into the TID squad, sport commitment was the greatest predictor of acceptance. The findings suggest the importance of considering psychological measures in the initial phase of a TID program.

As a result of economic development and high standard of living, compatriot diseases have developed from acute diseases to chronic diseases. However, the mechanism and development for the chronic diseases were imperfectly understood nowadays. Many risk factors were documented to be associated with chronic diseases; some of the risk factors were also recognized as symptoms for metabolic disorder such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. In addition, the metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by a constellation of obesity-related and CV disorders. There are many measures to reflect human body shapes such as BMI, waist circum and waist-hip ratio. Nevertheless, many researchers have noticed that BMI is not perfect to measure the distribution of body fat; a more direct indicator for visceral obesity is warranted. Owing to fast development of information technology, research methodology is diversified and available to solve the problems faced before. Three-Dimension anthropometric body surface scanning provides us good chance to explore profound information on body shapes. Therefore, this research is utilizing 3-D anthropometrical databases to construct predictive models for metabolic disorder syndrome. This study has collected 5,326 valid samples from department of health examination, three dimensional anthropometrics body surface scanning data was taken as major independent variables, which included body circum, width, profile area, volume and surface area. The health outcomes were collected from subject’s medical history of disease and the biochemistry tests from the current examination. The analyses included various statistical models such as canonical correlation analysis, regression analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis and logistic regression. The analyses have demonstrated that the body combination of waist profile area, breast width, trunk volume and hip width is significantly correlated with metabolic scores composed of blood pressure, glucose, and lipidemia. …. However, the findings were based on first order assumptions while the higher-order models were not considered in this study but worthwhile to approach in the future. In conclusion, a detailed measurement of certain body parts is much more important than crude measures of the whole body shapes while constructing predictive models for chronic diseases. The findings give a clue for further research on body shapes and chronic diseases. It is suggested that researcher may construct a long-term follow-up database and aims at the variation of body shapes as well as using non-linear regression method to establish more sensitive indicators to predict metabolic disorders.
