Equations based on anthropometric measurements for adipose tissue, body fat, or...
Cerqueira, Matheus S.; Amorim, Paulo R.S.; Encarnação, Irismar Gonçalves; Rezende, Leonardo M.T.; Almeida, Paulo H.R.F.; Silva, Analiza M.Assessing the body composition of children and adolescents is important to monitor their health status. Anthropometric measurements are feasible and less-expensive than other techniques for body composition assessment. This study aimed to systematically map anthropometric equations to predict adipose tissue, body fat, or density in children and adolescents, and to analyze methodological aspects of the developme...
Genotype by sex and genotype by age interactions with sedentary behavior: the P...
Santos, Daniel M. V.; Katzmarzyk, Peter T.; Diego, Vincent P.; Blangero, John; Souza, Michele C.; Freitas, Duarte L.; Chaves, Raquel N.Sedentary behavior (SB) expression and its underlying causal factors have been progressively studied, as it is a major determinant of decreased health quality. In the present study we applied Genotype x Age (GxAge) and Genotype x Sex (GxSex) interaction methods to determine if the phenotypic expression of different SB traits is influenced by an interaction between genetic architecture and both age and sex. A to...
