Abstract Background: This study compared the relationship between thyroid hormones and lipid metabolism/body fat content in euthyroid male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China. Methods: A total of 64 male patients who were diagnosed as T2DM and 64 non-diabetic males who underwent health examination were matched according to age at a 1:1 ratio. Results: The 32 subjects in each sub-group showed differences in age, body mass index (BMI), mean arterial pressure, waist circumference, visceral fat content, body fat percentage, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, FT3, TSH, HDL-c, adiponectin, leptin, visfatin and TNF-α (all P < 0.05). In the overall population, FT3 was positively correlated with body fat percentage (r=0.21, P=0.02), and negatively correlated with HOMA-IR (r=-0.18, P=0.04) and visfatin (r=-0.47, P <0.01); TSH was positively correlated with body fat percentage (r=0.23, P=0.01). In the T2DM-OB group FT3 was positively correlated with BMI (r=0.45, P <0.05), visceral fat content (r=0.50, P <0.05), and body fat percentage (r=0.44, P <0.05); FT4 was positively correlated with visceral fat content (r=0.38, P <0.05); and TSH was positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r=0.39, P <0.05). Conclusion: TSH increased in obese people and FT3 was lower in patients with T2DM.

Background: Asians compared to Europeans are known to be at an increasedrisk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Obesity is a global cardio metabolic healthand cancer risk. There is paucity of data regarding obesity in our local population. Aims &Objectives: To evaluate Body Mass Index (BMI). Visceral fat content and body fat percentageusing Bio-impedance body composition monitor. Thus to identify overweight and obeseindividuals with high visceral and body fat content the risk factors for cardio metabolicsyndrome. Study Design: Cross sectional survey. Setting: Outpatient Department of Medicine,Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Period: 15th January to 20th March 2016. Materialand Method: 250 patients above 18 years of age who reported in outdoor department wereenrolled after informed consent in local language according to enrollment criteria. Approved byethical review committee reference number FMS-2-2016-IRB-M-111. Their height and weightwere measured and BMI, visceral fat content and body fat percentage was calculated using bioimpedancebody composition monitor. They were asked questions for pertinent co-morbidities.The statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22.0 version. Results: Out of 250 patients enrolled144 (58 %) were females and 106 (42 %) were males. Mean age was 45 ±13 years. Mean BMIwas 29kg/m2. Above normal BMI was seen in 170 (68%), 98(39%) were obese (BMI>30kg/m2) and 80 (32%) overweight (BMI 25-29.9). Above normal visceral fat content and body fatpercentage was seen in 110(44 %) and 191(76%) respectively. In the later group 100(67%) werefemales. Diabetes and hypertension were present in 63(64%) obese patients among 30(73%)with high visceral fat and in 90(60%) with high body fat percentage. Conclusion: A significantnumber of patients were overweight or obese with above normal visceral fat content and bodyfat percentage with female dominance in later group. They also had higher prevalence ofdiabetes and hypertension. Bio-impedance technique is useful simple inexpensive tool for initialassessment of visceral and body fat content in outdoor facility.

The aim of the study was to identify the features of the impact of aquafitness training on the indicators of physical development of women 25-35 years of different somatotypes. The study involved 41 women 25-35 years old. The somatotype was determined by the Heath-Carter method. Physical development indicators were determined by the indicators of the device OMRON BF-511, which works on the principle of bioelectric impedance. Under the influence of aquafitness training in a group of women that brought together representatives of different somatotypes, not found statistically confirmed changes of indicators physical development. At all control stages of the study, body mass, BMI, fat percentage, visceral fat content tended to decrease. Among women distributed by somatotype, a statistically significant decrease in body mass and BMI was found only in representatives of the endomorphic somatotype. The decrease in body mass and BMI was due to a decrease in body fat and visceral fat. In the representatives ectomorphic somatotype, body mass, BMI, and muscle component percentage tended to increase, and fat percentage tended to decrease. Representatives of the balanced and endomorphic-mesomorphic somatotype demonstrated only a tendency to decrease body mass, BMI, fat content and visceral fat content. The percentage of muscle component tended to increase. Different adaptive reactions were revealed to aquafitness training in women 25-35 years of different somatotypes. Statistically significant decreased body mass and BMI occurred only in representatives of the endomorphic somatotype. Body mass and BMI decreased due to a decrease in body fat (including visceral fat).

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peak cadence indicators and body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%)-defined weight status in children. The sample comprised 485 Brazilian children. Minute-by-minute step data from accelerometry were rank ordered for each day to identify the peak 1-minute, 30-minute and 60-minute cadence values. Data were described by BMI–defined and bioelectrical impedance-determined BF% weight status. BMI-defined normal weight children had higher peak 1-minute (115.5 versus 110.6 and 106.6 steps/min), 30-minute (81.0 versus 77.5 and 74.0 steps/min) and 60-minute cadence (67.1 versus 63.4 and 60.7 steps/min) than overweight and obese children (p<.0001), respectively. Defined using %BF, normal weight children had higher peak 1-minute (114.5 versus 106.1 steps/min), 30-minute (80.4 versus 73.1 steps/min) and 60-minute cadence (66.5 versus 59.9 steps/min) than obese children (p<.0001). Similar relationships were observed in boys; however, only peak 1- minute cadence differed significantly across BMI and %BF-defined weight status categories in girls. Peak cadence indicators were negatively associated with BMI and BF% in these schoolchildren and significantly higher among normal weight compared to overweight or obese children.
