Abstract:

Childhood obesity has been increasing rapidly. Previous work investigating body composition in obese children and adolescents has relied primarily on body mass index (BMI), or on measures that assume constant properties of fat-free mass (FFM). This limits our understanding of the effect of treatment. My PhD is divided into three aims. First, I explored differences in body composition between obese and non-obese children using multi-component models. Second, I investigated the effectiveness of two weight-loss programmes (a randomised controlled trial adopting the traffic-light program (TLP), an

Abstract:

The internet is a novel medium for delivering behavioural modification weight loss programs and owing to its widespread accessibility it has the potential to treat at the population level. This thesis aimed to evaluate the effects of a unique web-based behaviour change program (WBP) called 'Imperative Health' on weight loss in an overweight/ obese population at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVO) using a randomised controlled trial. In total, 65 participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups for 12 months: the control group (usual care) or the intervention group (WBP). Assessme

Abstract:

<p> <b>INTRODUCTION:</b> Accurate body composition assessment is crucial for determining health consequences due to excess body fat (BF). While several techniques exist there are few that are accurate, non-invasive, fast, and comfortable for subjects. The Three Dimensional (3D) body scanner is a new body composition assessment method that might serve as another option for investigators and practitioners. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the 3D body scanner at measuring body composition using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and Air displacement plethysmography (

Many of the current techniques of body composition assessment are either unsuitable for seriously ill patients or lacking precision. The disparity in electrical properties of fat and lean tissue suggests that the interaction between an alternating electromagnetic field and the human body could be a new potentially useful way to determine body composition. The purpose of the work described in this thesis was to develop an inexpensive, simple and safe non-invasive electrical technique of body composition assessment.

Diets 21/21, 27/33, and 29/16 were milk replacers containing 21, 27, or 29% CP, and 21, 33, and 16% fat, respectively. Diet 21/21 was fed at 15% of BW. Diets 27/33, 29/16, and MILK supplied 180g CP/d. Calves were fed 4 wk. Weight, hip height, wither height, heart girth, and body length were measured weekly. Weekly plasma samples were analyzed for PUN, NEFA, and glucose. Calves were processed to estimate body composition. Fee

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health issue. The uraemic milieu is associated with profound alterations in body composition and function. Therapeutic interventions to preserve renal function and to provide adequate homeostasis to improve outcomes in all stages of chronic kidney disease may promote other unwanted functional adversities which with careful attention to individualised treatment may be modifiable.

Hypertension is an important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. An important recent advancement in hypertension research is an understanding that hypertension often may have a developmental origin. Birthweight is associated with hypertension across the lifespan and adult cardiovascular disease, such that those at both ends of the spectrum are at increased risk. Nonetheless, birthweight is a crude surrogate of fetal growth and it may be that quantification of body composition, may more accurately identify the “at risk” individual.

Fifty subjects (25 men, 25 women) of varying ages (20-81 yrs.), races, and body composition (2.2-51.1% fat) were tested under ideal conditions set forth by the manufacturer at the same time of day (± 3 hours) on three separate days within two weeks. On each day, testing was repeated in succession until three trials were obtained which met the manufacturer's criteria for acceptable BV and Vtg.

The measurement of total body volume (V) (excluding lung volume) together with total body mass (m) is required in order to determine body density (d = m/V). From this, and using certain simplifying assumptions, it is possible to derive body composition in terms of fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM) for the two-compartment model. The standard method for determining body volume (and hence body composition) is the densitometric (underwater weighing) technique based on Archimedes' principle.

A low coefficient of variation (3.4 +/- 3%) and a relatively small standard deviation in mean Kcals/day (1383 +/- 214) suggests possibly one or only a few measures are necessary for predicting resting metabolic rate (RMR) within a range applicable for clinical use.
