Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify different people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantified, in different world regions, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes, and whether those who were previously undiagnosed and detected as having diabetes in survey screening, had elevated FPG,...
Background: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and non-invasive, and is currently used globally in diverse settings, including private clinicians' offices, sports and health clubs, and hospitals, and across a spectrum of age, body weight, and disease states. BIA parameters ca...

It was our objective to estimate the prevalence and associated factors with low aerobic fitness among adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 575 subjects aged 11–17 years from Criciúma, SC, Brazil. The 9-minute walk/run test was used to assess aerobic fitness. Sociodemographic data and daily habits were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Anthropometric evaluation was also perfor...
