A dataset on skeletal muscle mass index, body composition and strength to deter...
Santos, Cláudia Amaro; Cinza, Ana Margarida; Laranjeira, Ânia; Amaro, Margarida; Carvalho, Manuel; Bravo, Jorge; Martins, Sandra S.; Raimundo, ArmandoBariatric surgery is the treatment for severe obesity, with proven efficacy in reducing weight. Weight loss associated with bariatric surgery is greatly associated with a significant reduction of skeletal muscle and bone mineral mass, which leads us to induce that after bariatric surgery, patients incur an increased risk of sarcopenia. Prophylactic programs that prevent sarcopenia in bariatric surgery patients ...
Enhanced sweet taste perception in obesity: joint analysis of gustatory data fr...
Ribeiro, Gabriela; Torres, Sandra; Fernandes, Ana B.; Camacho, Marta; Branco, Teresa L.; Martins, Sandra S.; Raimundo, Armando; Oliveira-Maia, Albino J.Introduction: While sweet taste perception is a potential determinant of feeding behavior in obesity, the supporting evidence is inconsistent and is typically associated with methodological limitations. Notably, possible associations between sweet taste perception and measures of food reward remain undetermined. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis comparing 246 individuals with severe...
Neck circumference is associated with adipose tissue content in thigh skeletal ...
Tellez, Maria Jose Arias; Silva, Analiza M; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Martins, Sandra S.; Palmeira, António Labisa; Branco, Teresa; Minderico, CláudiaNeck circumference (NC) has been proposed as a simple and practical tool, independently associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. However, the association of NC with inter-muscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is still to be determined. We aimed to examine the association of NC with thigh IMAT, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) measured with computed tomography (CT) in overweight/obese women. 142 premenopausal ove...
