The analysis of body composition parameters showed that lumbar spine BMD Z score was positively and significantly related both to total lean mass (p: 0.0047 - figure 4) and to total fat mass (p: 0.007 - figure 5) expressed in grams.
Analyzing the indicators of nutrition and the body composition parameters, we found that BMD Z score was significantly reduced in the group of subjects (n = 12) with BMI SDS <-1 in comparison with the group of subjects with BMI SDS >-1 (-2.00 ± 1.59 vs -1.04 ± 1.02, p = 0.0076).
The same G allele in the STK11 rSNP11699 SNP was associated with pronounced changes in endocrine-metabolic and body composition parameters upon metformin treatment, effects that were nearly absent in C homozygous subjects.
Therefore, it would be useful to identify a composite variable that considers both body composition parameters measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and indicators of metabolic status.
The present study demonstrated that some body composition parameters regarding body water and body muscle were associated or correlated with the presence or intensity of neck and shoulder pain.
We herein investigated the association between neck and shoulder pain, back pain, low back pain and body composition in the Japanese general population and demonstrated the possibility that some body composition parameters regarding body water and body muscle were associated with the pathology of neck and shoulder pain.
The findings about the WC and VFA could indicate that higher values of these anthropometric and body composition parameters are associated with less activity of HRV, specially the components that reflect parasympathetic activity.
Our secondary hypothesis was that differences in body composition parameters between an OAH-affected limb and the healthy limb could relate to the degree of preoperative weight bearing, pain, or muscle strength in the hip.
All continuous outcomes, that is, change in metabolic parameters, weight, body composition parameters, alcohol use, etc, will be analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) from baseline to last observation endpoint.
We found that BMI correlated positively and significantly with all measured body composition parameters, in particular total adipose tissue (Spearman correlation = 0.798, p < 0.001) (Table 4).
