Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysi...
Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...
Between-devices agreement in obtaining raw bioelectrical parameters after a lif...
Silva, T.; Nunes, CL; Jesus, F; Francisco, R; Teixeira, Vitor Hugo; Sardinha, LB; Martins, P; Minderico, C; Silva, AMIt is unclear if different bioelectrical impedance (BI) devices provide similar results regarding raw parameters [Resistance (R), Reactance (Xc), Phase Angle (PhA), and Impedance (Z)] for the same population/individual undergoing a weight loss intervention. The aim was to evaluate the cross-sectional and longitudinal agreement of raw data obtained by two BI devices in former athletes with overweight/obesity. Fi...
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents...
Horimoto, AR; Hormiga, CM; Horta, BL; Houti, L; Howitt, C; Htay, TT; Htet, AS; Htike, MMT; Hu, Y; Huerta, JM; Huhtaniemi, IT; Huidumac Petrescu, CBackground: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. Methods: For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors colla...
Impact of combined training with different exercise intensities on inflammatory...
Magalhães, JP; Santos, DA; Correia, IR; Hetherington-Rauth, M; Ribeiro, R; Raposo, JF; Matos, M; Bicho, MD; Sardinha, LBBackground: Exercise is a well-accepted strategy to improve lipid and inflammatory profile in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the exercise intensity having the most benefits on lipids and inflammatory markers in patients with T2DM remains unclear. We aimed to analyse the impact of a 1-year combined high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with resistance training (RT), and a moderate continuous...
Prevalence and Preferences of Self-Reported Physical Activity and Nonsedentary ...
Teixeira, PJ; Marques, A; Lopes, C; Sardinha, LB; Mota, JABackground: This study describes levels of self-reported physical activity, frequency of selected opportunistic nonsedentary behaviors, and preferences of leisure-time activities in a representative sample of Portuguese adults, using data from a national survey on diet and activity behaviors (National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey, IAN-AF, 2015-2016). Methods: Participants were 3873 Portuguese ad...
Waist-to-Height Ratio Is Independently Related to Whole and Central Body Fat, R...
Pimenta, NM; Cortez-Pinto, H; Melo, X; Silva-Nunes, J; Sardinha, LB; Santa-Clara, HBACKGROUND: Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has been reported as a preferable risk related body fat (BF) marker, although no standardised waist circumference measurement protocol (WCmp) has been proposed. The present study aimed to investigate whether the use of a different WCmp affects the strength of relationship between WHtR and both whole and central BF in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. ME...
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-ba...
Zhou, B; Lu, Y; Hajifathalian, K; Bentham, J; Di Cesare, M; Danaei, G; Bixby, H; Cowan, MJ; Ali, MK; Taddei, C.; Lo, WC; Ninomiya, T; Noale, M; Noto, DBackground One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are aff ecting the number of adults with diabetes. Method...
Effects of diabetes definition on global surveillance of diabetes prevalence an...
Danaei, G; Fahimi, S; Lu, Y; Zhou, B; Hajifathalian, K; Di Cesare, M; Lo, WC; Reis-Santos, B; Cowan, MJ; Shaw, JE; Bentham, J; Mohammad, K; Mohan, VBackground Diabetes has been defi ned on the basis of diff erent biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the eff ect of diff erent diagnostic defi nitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classifi cation of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a po...
