TL;DR
Age-specific MC ranges of ten visceral organs were developed for a period of 3–12 months of age, creating a methodological basis for standardizing gerontological studies and differentiating physiological involution from pathology.
Perimenopause is a transitional phase characterized by substantial hormonal fluctuations, particularly declining estradiol levels, accompanied by age-related metabolic changes. Increasing evidence suggests that this period constitutes a critical window of metabolic vulnerability, marked by adverse alterations in body c...
BACKGROUND: Standard diets are widely used for body weight correction in obesity, but their effect on body composition, particularly on skeletal muscle mass, remains a subject of study, especially in working-age patients. AIM: To conduct a hygienic assessment of the effect of various standard diet options (the basic a...
Background: Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation, a hallmark of obesity, may independently contribute to hepatic impairment via metabolic and inflammatory pathways. A thorough evaluation of hepatic function is crucial for the early detection and tracking of obesity-related liver problems because obese people are mor...
BACKGROUND The skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose metabolism, but absolute muscle mass is strongly influenced by both body size and adiposity. Herein, we investigated whether residual appendicular lean mass (ALM), a body-size-adjusted measure of the skeletal muscle reserve, was associated with insulin resi...
BACKGROUND The body mass index (BMI) is widely used to assess obesity but fails to reflect fat distribution. The body roundness index (BRI) has been proposed as a better surrogate for central obesity, yet direct comparisons of their predictive power remain limited. METHODS We analyzed 341 336 adults from the Taiwan M...
