Body-composition phenotypes and their associations with cardiometabolic risks and health behaviours in a representative general US sample

Author(s): Kakinami L; Plummer S; Cohen TR; Santosa S; Murphy J;

Body mass index is poor at distinguishing between adiposity and muscle. Based on dual energy X-ray absorptiometry data, a diagnostic framework to analyze body composition by categorizing fat- and muscle-mass body composition into four phenotypes has been proposed. The objective of this study was to assess the association between body-composition phenotype ...

Associations of the BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism With Body Composition, Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, and Energy Intake in Youth With Obesity: Findings From the HEARTY Study

Author(s): Goldfield GS; Walsh J; Sigal RJ; Kenny GP; Hadjiyannakis S; De Lisio M; Ngu M; Prud' homme D; Alberga AS; Doucette S; Goldfield DB; Cameron JD;

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism is functionally related to BDNF, and is associated with obesity and metabolic complications in adults, but limited research exists among adolescents. This study comparatively examined carriers and non-carriers of the BDNF Val66Met ...

Body Mass Index Z Score vs Weight-for-Length Z Score in Infancy and Cardiometabolic Outcomes at Age 8-10 Years

Author(s): Roberge JB; Harnois-Leblanc S; McNealis V; van Hulst A; Barnett TA; Kakinami L; Paradis G; Henderson M;

Objectives: To confirm that World Health Organization weight-for-length z scores (zWFL) and World Health Organization body mass index z scores (zBMI) in infancy are associated with adiposity and cardiometabolic measures at 8-10 years old and to compare the predictive ability of the 2 methods. St ...

Weight cycling is associated with adverse cardiometabolic markers in a cross-sectional representative US sample

Author(s): Kakinami L; Knäuper B; Brunet J;

Background: Whether weight cycling (repeated weight loss and regain) is associated with cardiometabolic health is unclear. Study objective was to examine whether weight cycling since young adulthood (ie, 25 years of age) was associated with cardiometabolic markers. Methods: Data from a nationally representative cross-sectional US sample (National Health ...
