There were no significant differences between the groups in age, gender ratio, prevalence of postmenopausal women, ethnicity, current BMI, percentage body fat, prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or binge eating disorder (BED), for both the whole cohort (see online supplementary table S1) and the scanned subjects only (table 1).
To assess fat distribution, prevalence of obesity, and the metabolic syndrome among diverse 6-13-year-old Colorado youth to better understand racial/ethnic influences on adiposity and metabolic syndrome.
Men undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer have increased serum glucose, total fat, and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (Braga-Basaria et al. 2006; Sharifi et al. 2005).
Compared with the obese cohort with restricted body fat, the prevalence of injuries from physical training (rate ratio = 0.4; 95% CL 0.2, 0.8; p = 0.003), overuse injuries (rate ratio = 0.4; 95% CL 0.2, 0.9; p = 0.009) and injuries resulting in incapacity for <5 days (rate ratio = 0.4; 95% CL 0.1, 1.0; p = 0.03) was significantly lower in the obese cohort with no restriction on body fat (Table 3).
The validation and biomarker-discovery groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, BMI, liver-fat content, prevalence of NAFLD, waist circumference, type 2 diabetes, BP and fasting serum glucose, TG, HDL-cholesterol and insulin concentrations (Table 1).
The phrase "obesity epidemic" expresses the sense that obesity not only is a disease itself but gives rise to a wide range of other diseases; it also reflects the indisputable evidence of fat's growing prevalence.
Body mass index, percent body fat and the prevalence of obesity or excess weight were slightly higher in the children breast-fed longer, but the difference was statistically insignificant.
