Role of body bioelectrical impedance analysis in the assessment of the nutritional status of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and matabolic syndrome

Nutrition has an important role in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) andmetabolic syndrome (MS). The goal of this study was to assess the nutritive status of patientstreated with IBD and metabolic syndrome in the Gastroenterology Centre, Pauls Stradiòð ClinicalUniversity Hospital.

Combined vascular effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker in non-diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis

Therefore, we undertook this study to investigate whether adding a statin to an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) may confer greater vascular protection than ARB monotherapy in nondiabetic patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Cutoff Values of Body Mass Index and Body Fat Measures for Metabolic Syndrome in Korean Population

This study investigated cut-off values of body mass index (BMI) and body fat measures for metabolic syndrome (MS) in elderly Koreas. Questionnaire surveys, anthropometric measurements, medical examinations, and body composition analyses were conducted for 10,077 subjects aged 40-65 years in the health examinee cohort in Korea between 2004 and 2006.

Relationship of body composition and C-reactive protein with pulmonary function

It has been observed that restrictive pulmonary function is associated with obesity and C-reactive protein (CRP), an indicator for systemic inflammation. However, the interrelationship among body composition, CRP, and restrictive pulmonary function has been poorly understood. This study focused on the combined effects of body composition and CRP on restrictive pulmonary function.

Reliability and Data Integration of Duplicated Test Results Using Two Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis Machines in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study

The Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), a multicenter-based multi-cohort study, has collected information on body composition using two different bioelectrical impedence analysis (BIA) machines. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of whether the test values measured from different BIA machines can be integrated through statistical adjustment algorithm under excellent inter-rater reliability.

Compatibility of different methods for the measurement of visceral fat in different body mass index strata

Obesity, particularly visceral obesity, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, cardiovascular risk should be determined by evaluating visceral fat tissue not only in obese individuals but also in non-obese individuals. We aimed to evaluate the comparison of visceral fat tissue measurement methods with computed tomography (CT).
