Sentence examples for body fatness measures from inspiring English sources

Although the aforementioned studies provide compelling evidence that the FTO gene is involved in altering fat mass, the reported associations are typically limited to "body fatness" measures such as body weight, body mass index (BMI) [11], [12], [14], [16], [18], hip and waist circumference [16], [19].

The anthropometric measures we studied were grouped into two major clusters: the first cluster included four closely correlated "body fatness" measures [29] and UAC which is usually used as an anthropometric measurement of muscle mass [30] or nutrition status [31]; the second cluster included five skin fold measures for "subcutaneous obesity".

Conditional association analysis on rs1421085 indicated no major effect of allelic heterogeneity on "body fatness" measures, since adjusting for rs1421085 completely eliminated the associations between "body fatness" measures and "body fatness" markers.

Through principle component analysis of the four "body fatness" measures together with UAC and UAW, we identified three major components.

In addition to the previously reported SNPs, we identified a set of high frequency tagging SNPs associated with body fatness measures with similar magnitudes of significance.

Therefore, we considered PC1 as a summary variable for "body fatness" and it well captured the significant association between individual "body fatness" measures and "body fatness" markers.

Additionally, while BMI, waist-hip ratio, and waist circumference have been used as indicators of body fatness, these measurements were found to be more closely correlated with each other than with body fatness measured by DEXA based on data from a nationally representative US population sample (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) [ 16].

Body fatness was measured by BIA, a more accurate measure than BMI (Roubenoff 1996), reducing the likelihood of misclassification of obesity status.

Secondary aims included: determining associations between fat taste sensitivity and body fatness as measured by BIA, examining how food and beverage intake prior to testing influenced fat taste sensitivity, and comparing fat taste sensitivity of adults versus children and men versus women.

Weight and body fatness was measured using the Tanita SC330 portable body composition analyser (UK Ltd, Middlesex, UK).

Body fatness is measured using a foot-to-foot bioelectric impedance device (Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
