CONCLUSIONS: Adiposity measures all decreased after RYGB but poorly predicted change in cardiometabolic risk. Despite significant reductions at 1 year, a steady regain was observed out to 5 years, with values still well below baseline. Further research should consider control group comparison and extended follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS: The DXA can be used to create four-compartment model for estimating total and regional fat mass, fat-free mass, and percent fat. Therefore, these results allow for a convenient regional four-compartment model with DXA derived regional volume.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the muscle-to-bone ratio (MBR) in National Football League (NFL) players. Three hundred and forty-six NFL players had their total body lean, fat and bone masses determined using dual X-ray absorptiometry and were compared to 228 age-matched, healthy male controls. Compared to the control group, NFL players had a significantly lower percent total body fat (17.90±6.92 vs. 22.93±8.96%, p=0.053), but significantly greater total fat mass (19.76±11.29...

This study explored body composition in female NCAA Division I rowers compared to controls; and the effect of season, boat category, and oar side on body composition. This retrospective analysis of 91 rowers, and 173 age, sex, and BMI-matched controls examined total and regional fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM), bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), percent body fat (%BF), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry. Two-sample t-testing was used to...

CONCLUSIONS: Children with obesity had a higher MBR and SBR compared to their normal weight peers. In addition, there were significant associations between SBR, higher levels of insulin, atherogenic lipoproteins, and increased systolic blood pressure. Thus, SBR may be useful as a marker for increased cardiometabolic disease risk, though more research in this area is warranted.

CONCLUSIONS: The DXA may be used as valid method for estimating total and regional body volume. Thus, these results expand the DXA's capabilities and potentially allow for a convenient regional four-compartment model with DXA-derived regional volume.

Background Microparticles and endothelial microparticles (EMPs) are implicated in accelerating cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, data in pediatrics are limited. We examined the relationship of microparticles and EMPs with adiposity and subclinical CVD risk measures in a pediatric population to determine their potential as biomarkers of CVD risk. Methods and Results A cross-sectional study of youth (n=280; ages 8-20 years) with a range of body mass index categories was used. Microparticles,...
