Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been traditionally associated with malnutrition and increased prevalence of underweight status. Nevertheless, according to recent reports, there appears to be an increase in the percentage of overweight individuals among patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the body composition of a cohort of Greek patients with IBD. Methods We analysed data from 88 patients with IBD (CD:58, UC:30, female: 45). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated and waist circumference (WC) was measured in all participants. Body composition was evaluated with a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance segmental body composition analyser (BIA) (Tanita MC-780) and with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results 9.1% (n = 8) of patients had low BMI (<18.5), 53.4% (n = 47) normal, 22.7% (n = 20) were overweight and 14.8% (n = 13) obese. No differences were seen between CD vs. UC. Furthermore, 27.3% (n = 24) of women had WC < 80 cm and 27.3% (n = 24) of men had < 94 cm. Referring to % total body fat, as reported by BIA, 46.5% (n = 20) of men and 11.1% (n = 5) of women had total body fat <20%, 46.5% (n = 20) of men and 44.4% (n = 20) of women had 21–30%, 7% (n = 3) of men and 28.9% (n = 13)of women 31–40% and 15.6% (n = 7)of women >41%. According to DXA measurements, 25.6% (n = 11) of men had total body fat <20%, 46.5% (n = 20) of men and 15.6% (n = 7) of women had 21–30%, 25.6% (n = 11) of men and 46.7% (n = 21) of women 31–40% and 2.3% (n = 1) of men and 37.8% (n = 17) of women >41%. There was no significant difference in % total body fat between CD and UC patients in either measurement. We observed a significant difference between the two methods regarding the estimation of % body fat, as BIA measurements were lower than those obtained with DXA (p < 0.001, median = 5.53%, 95% confidence interval = 4.82–6.24%). Nevertheless there was a significant correlation between BIA and DXA measurements in the same individual (r2 = 0.9025, p < 0.001). Conclusion We found a large proportion of overweight/obese patients in our IBD cohort. The association with increased WC may imply that the total abdominal fat is increased in such patients. As excessive fat content has been shown to negatively affect IBD patients in multiple ways, our results emphasise the need for better assessment of body composition and dietetic interventions in this population.

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a cross-sectional scan as an alternative to the total body DXA scan for predicting the body composition of pigs in vivo. A total of 212 pigs (56 to 138 kg live body weight) were scanned by DXA. The DXA scans were analyzed for percentage fat and lean in the total body and in 14 cross-sections (57.6 mm wide): 5 in the front leg/thoracic region, 4 in the abdominal region, and 5 in the back leg region. Regression analysis was used to compare total body and cross-sectional DXA results and chemical analysis of total body fat, protein and water. The relation (R2) between the percentage fat in individual slices and the percentage of total body fat measured by DXA ranged from 0.78 to 0.97 and by chemical analysis from 0.71 to 0.85, respectively. The relation between the percentage of lean in the individual slices and chemical analysis for percentage of total body protein and water ranged from 0.48 to 0.60 and 0.56 to 0.76, respectively. These results indicate that total body composition of the pig can be predicted (accurately) by performing a time-saving single-pass cross-sectional scan.

Abstract. Non-invasive computerized tomography was performed on commercial broiler chickens, in both sexes, between 4 to 18 weeks of age, with the aim of body composition measurement. On the basis of 16–32 scans gathered from each bird during the scanning procedure, volumetric measurement of the breast muscle was performed. These values were at the 259; 493; 786 cm3 and 195; 460; 668 cm3 in male and female birds at the age of 6, 12 and 18 weeks, respectively. The total body fat content was characterized by the so called „fat index”, a value independent of the live weight. This indices were 7,3; 7,14; 9,48 and 8,8; 13,3; 21,6 following the above order. Total body fat and crude protein was determined both by CT and chemical analysis. The variables of the prediction equations were taken from the density values of the Hounsfield scale between −140 and +150, by summarizing the frequencies within each interval of 10 values. Several models were developed with Principal Component Analysis. The R² values of the estimations were high (R2 = 0,89; 0,88) for total body fat but moderate (R2 = 0,39; 0,44) in the prediction of crude protein content. The investigation of the tissue development in the body was carried out by means of 3D histograms.

Composition Changes

Considering the negative effects of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), the objective of the present study was to evaluate body composition changes using conventional and vector bioimpedance analysis in patients before and after parathyroidectomy (PTX). Twelve adult patients, mean age 43·4 (sd 12·7) years, were evaluated prior to and 6 months after PTX. Diets were assessed with 3d dietary records, and mean energy, protein, calcium and phosphorus intake were estimated from these inventories. Weight, height, BMI and bioelectrical impedance were measured; and biochemical markers of nutritional status (albumin and total protein) and bone metabolism (calcium, phosphorus and intact parathyroid hormone) were determined. No significant differences were observed in mean energy, protein and phosphorus after surgery. There was a significant increase in calcium intake after PTX (382·3 (sd 209·6) mg to 656·6 (sd 313·8) mg; P<0·05). Mean weight, BMI, conventional bioelectrical impedance measurements, total body fat, lean body mass and total body water were unaffected by surgery. However, the phase angle and reactance significantly increased after PTX (5·0° (sd 1·4) to 5·6° (sd 1·3); 44·1 (sd 15·6) Ω to 57·1 (sd 14·4) Ω, respectively). The high levels of intact parathyroid hormone before surgery had a negative effect on total body fat (r −0·69, P<0·05). After PTX, the mean albumin significantly increased (3·9 (sd 0·4) g/dl to 4·2 (sd 0·6) g/dl; P<0·05). PTX for SHPT is associated with certain changes in laboratory values, dietary intake and body composition. The latter is best seen with bioimpedance vector analysis.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Pilates, Step and Zumba exercises on muscle and fat weight in arms, legs, core abdominal area, and total body.A total of 60 women aged 19 to 62 participated in the study. The mean age was 45±10 years, height was 160±5 cm and weight was 72.31±11.12 kg. Pilates, Step and Zumba exercise program was applied three days a week for a total of 12 weeks. Regional and total muscle and fat weights in the body were analyzed by TANITA MC780. Statistical significance level was determined as p<0.05. In the Pilates exercises group, there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-posttest muscle weights of the arms, core abdominal area and total body (p<0.05) except legs (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between pre-posttest muscle weights in arms, legs, core abdominal area and total body in Step and Zumba exercises group (p>0.05). In Pilates and Step exercise groups, there is a statistically significant difference between pre-posttest fat weights in arms, legs, core abdominal area and total body (p<0.05) except Zumba groups (p>0.05). Pilates, Step and Zumba exercises groups were evaluated among themselves, there was no difference in terms of the arm, leg, core abdominal area, and total body muscle weights both in the pre-post tests (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between all groups in terms of the arm, leg, core abdominal area and total body fat weights in both pre-posttests (p<0.05).Pilates and Step exercises can be recommended to women who want to reduce their weight on arms, legs, core abdominal area and total body fat lose weight.

<p>This study was aimed to evaluate the physiological status, blood profiles and body composition of sheep fed with Ca-saponified lemuru oil coated by herbs. Twenty fat-tailed sheep (av. BW 23±1.2 kg) were used in this experiment by using Completely Randomized Design with five treatments ration and four replications of each. Sheep fed with concentrate containing 3% Ca-saponified lemuru oil and king grass (1:1) ad libitum. Treatments were control diet without herbs (R1); Ca-saponified lemuru oil coated by curcumae domestica (R2); coated by Zingiber officinale Rosc (R3); coated by Eugenia polyantha (R4) and coated by Pluchea indica Less (R5). Data of physiological parameters were measured three times a day, in the morning, at noon and afternoon. Blood samples were collected at the end of the experiment through jugular vein, together with zero sample for Urea Space measurement. The variables observed were physiological data (heart rate, respiration rate, and rectal temperature), blood profiles (erythrocyte, hemoglobin, packed cell volume (PCV), leucocytes) and body composition (water, protein and fat) measured using Urea Space technique. Results of the study showed that sheep fed with Ca-saponified lemuru oil coated by herbs was not significantly different on heart rate, respiration rate and rectal temperature among treatments. Meanwhile, total leucocytes, neutrophil cell, and lymphocytes significantly increased (P&lt;0.05) by the treatment. Body composition percentage (water, protein and fat) were same in all treatments, except the total body fat and energy retained. In conclusion, supplementation of 3% Ca-saponified lemuru oil coated by Curcumae domestica, Zingiber officinale Rosc, Eugenia polyantha and Pluchea indica Less in fat-tailed sheep had no effect on physiological parameters, but improved the leucocyte and neutrophil cells. Total body fat and energy retained lower compared to control treatment.</p><p>(Key words: Body composition, Ca-saponified, Herbs, Lemuru oil, Urea space)</p>

Growth, body composition and distribution of carcass tissues were compared in Omani sheep and goats. Animals had ad libitum access to Rhodes-grass hay (8 % CP) and a concentrate diet (16% CP) from weaning until slaughter. The two species had similar birth weights but sheep had higher preweaning (181 g/day), postweaning (175 g/day) and overall (179 g/day) growth rates than goats (120, 102 and 111 g/day, respectively) and thus they reached slaughter weights earlier. Sheep had higher slaughter weight (22·26 kg), empty body weight (20·39 kg), hot carcass weight (12·48 kg) and dressing out percentage (55·94%) than goats (21·17, 18·82, 11·48 kg and 53·97%, respectively). Sheep also had higher proportions of skin, liver and lungs and trachea (P<0·01) than goats, which had higher proportions of head, feet and gut contents. As proportions of carcass weight, sheep had higher fat (25·08%) but lower muscle content (57·24%) than goats (15·72 and 65·88%, respectively). There were no significant differences between the two species in proportion of carcass bone (13·76 and 14·17%). These effects resulted in sheep having a lower muscle: bone ratio (4·19 and 4·68) and higher fat: muscle ratio (0·44 and 0·24). Sheep had higher proportions of non-carcass, carcass and total body fat in the empty body weight (EBW) than goats. However, sheep had less non-carcass but more carcass fat than goats when fats were expressed as proportions of total body fat. Sheep had higher proportions of muscles in the proximal hind limb, distal hind limb (P<0·01), around the spinal column, connecting forelimb to thorax and high-priced muscle group (P<0·05), but lower proportions of muscles in the abdominal wall, proximal forelimb (P<0·05), distal forelimb (P<0·01), connecting neck to forelimb, intrinsic muscles of neck and thorax (P<0·05) and total forequarter muscles (P<0·01) than goats. As proportions in carcass bone, sheep had higher axial skeleton (P<0·05) but lower forelimb than goats. Among species/sex/slaughter weight groups, castrated male and female goats had the lowest growth rates. Castrates and female sheep, particularly at heavier liveweights, had higher carcass and non-carcass fat contents than intact males and goats of all sexes. Although Omani goats produced leaner carcasses and had higher proportions of some non-carcass offals than Omani sheep, they had slower growth rates and a less attractive muscle distribution. This may negatively affect their potential for large scale meat production under Omani conditions.
