Objective The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence of low bone mass density in cystic fibrosis patients as well as to evaluate the factors associated with bone mass in such patients. Methods Bone mass density was measured by dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry of lumbar spine (L1-L4), in patients ≤19 years old, or lumbar spine and femur (total and neck) in patients ≥20 years old. Evaluations of nutritional status, biochemical parameters, and lung function were performed. Medication data were obtained from medical records. Results Fifty-eight patients were included in the study (25 males/ 33 females), mean age 23.9 years (16-53years). The prevalence of bone mass below the expected range for age at any site was 20.7%. None of the subjects had history of fracture. Lumbar spine Z-score in cystic fibrosis patients correlated positively with body mass index (r= 0.3, p=0.001), and forced expiratory volume in the first second (% predicted) (r=0.415, p=0.022). Mean lumbar spine Z-score was higher in women (p=0.001), in patients with no pancreatic insufficiency (p=0.032), and in patients with no hospitalization in the last 3 months (p=0.02). After multivariate analysis, body mass index (p= 0.001) and sex (p=0.001) were independently associated with Z-score in lumbar spine. Conclusion Low bone mass is a frequent problem in patients with CF, being independently associated with body mass index, and male sex.

Background: Osteoporosis can cause public health problem because both man and woman have high risk factor for osteoporosis. This is related to high morbidity and mortality of man. The increase of elderly population intensifies the frequency of the prevalence of osteoporosis, which limits activities of the patients.Objective: To identify the relationship between calcium, vitamin D, and caffeine intake, smoking, and mass body index with osteoporosis among elderly men.Method: This study was analytical observational which used cross sectional design. Subject of the study were men of 55– 65 years old purposively chosen. The study was carried out at Sub district of Duren Sawit, Jakarta Timur.Result: There was no significant relationship between calcium intake and bone mass density (p > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between vitamin D intake and bone mass density (p > 0.05), smoking and bone mass density (p > 0.05), and caffeine consumption and bone mass density (p > 0.05). There was a significant relationship between body mass index and osteoporosis (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The relationship between calcium and vitamin D intake, smoking, caffeine consumption, and osteoporosis was insignificant. The relationship between body mass index and osteoporosis was significant.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Currently, the two most common bariatric procedures are laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Long-term data comparing the two interventions in terms of their effect on body composition and bone mass density (BMD) are scarce. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to assess body composition and BMD at least 5 years after LSG and LRYGB. <b><i>Setting:</i></b> Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, St. Claraspital Basel and St. Clara Research Ltd., Basel, Switzerland. <b><i>Methods:</i></b>Bariatric patients at least 5 years after surgery (LSG or LRYGB) were recruited, and body composition and BMD were measured by means of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Data from body composition before surgery were included in the analysis. Blood samples were taken for determination of plasma calcium, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, alkaline phosphatase, and C-terminal telopeptide, and the individual risk for osteoporotic fracture assessed by the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool score was calculated. After surgery, all patients received multivitamins, vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, and zinc. In addition, LRYGB patients were prescribed calcium. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 142 patients were included, 72 LSG and 70 LRYGB, before surgery: median body mass index 43.1, median age 45.5 years, 62.7% females. Follow-up after a median of 6.7 years. For LRYGB, the percentage total weight loss at follow-up was 26.3% and for LSG 24.1% (<i>p</i> = 0.243). LRYGB led to a slightly lower fat percentage in body composition. At follow-up, 45% of both groups had a T score at the femoral neck below –1, indicating osteopenia. No clinically relevant difference in BMD was found between the groups. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b>At 6.7 years after surgery, no difference in body composition and BMD between LRYGB and LSG was found. Deficiencies and bone loss remain an issue after both interventions and should be monitored.

Abstract Background: The intake of citrulline (CIT) and leucine (LEU) can stimulate protein synthesis. However, the efficacy of the combined intervention of CIT and LEU intake with exercise on body composition and physical activity (PA) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of CIT and LEU intake and weight-bearing exercises (WBE) and square stepping exercise (SSE) for 20 weeks on body composition, PA, and amino acid concentration in older women with low body mass index (BMI) (16 to 21 kg/m 2 ). Methods: A total of 23 participants practiced WBE and SSE once a week for 75 minutes and were administered supplement (Ex + CIT·LEU group: CIT 0.8 g and LEU 1.6 g; Ex + Placebo group: 3.5 g carbohydrate) twice a day for 20 weeks. Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. PA, including leisure-time, household, and occupational PA, was assessed using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly. Amino acid concentrations in the blood were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography.Results: Significant interactions were observed in the body weight, BMI, lean mass, body mass, household and total PA, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. The within-group analysis showed that tyrosine of post-intervention measurement (Post) significantly in both groups ( p < 0.05). Body weight, BMI, lean mass, body mass, household PA, total PA, and phenylalanine of Post increased significantly in the Ex + CIT·LEU group ( p < 0.05). Additionally, significant positive correlations were observed between the intake rate of supplements and bone mass ( r = 0.80) and between the practice rate of WBE at home and bone mineral density ( r = 0.66) in the Ex + CIT·LEU group. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the intake of CIT and LEU, with the practice of WBE and SSE, could improve body weight, muscle mass, bone mass, and PA in older women with low BMI, which may prevent sarcopenia and frailty.Trial registration: UMIN000022385.

Hypertension is mostly associated with adulthood and old age with little attention on children. This study provided evidence of hypertension in healthy children and its association with body composition and aerobic capacity (VO2max). 266 healthy children aged 8-11 years were recruited for the study. Blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index (BMI), basal metabolic rate (BMR), fat free mass, bone mass, visceral fat, total body water (TBW), and VO2max were measured. 18.79% were pre-hypertensive and 9.40% overweight at least, while 65.42% underweight. Correlation between blood pressure and maxVO2 was significant (P < 0.05). VO2max significantly correlate with body mass index (r = -.415, P < 0.05), fat mass (r = -.385, P < 0.05) negatively and visceral fat (r = -.267, P < 0.05) and positive with fat free mass (r =.385, P < 0.05) and bone mass (r =.077, P < 0.05). Gender differences were significant in BMR, TBW, VO2max and heart rate (P < 0.05). Evidence of hypertension in relatively healthy children is a clarion call to avert unprecedented decline in future life expectancy rate. Physical activity interventions are suggested antidotes to avert the risk factors of hypertension and excess body fat in children
