Body Fat Content

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese. This study sought to document the physical characteristics of top Malaysian netball players by their playing skill. The variables measured were age, height, body mass, body fat and somototype. Thirty-two national players (mean age 18.19 ± 3.86 years) were assessed, divided into three groups by their playing skill (senior/elite, junior and reserve). The body fat content was determined by the skinfold method and their somatotype using the Heath Carter Somatotyping method. There were no significant differences in the physical characteristics between the players by playing skill. The players were predominantly ecto-endomorphic with a mean somatotype of 6.12±1.42 - 2.38±1.05 - 2.71±1.38. Their height and body mass were 170.80±4.61 cm and 64.44±7.46 kg, respectively. Female national Australian and English netball players had a body fat of 28.90±3.50% (Wither & Roberts, 1981) and 24.50±3.90% (Bale & Hunt, 1986) respectively, while the Malaysian players in this study 24.50 ± 5.13%. 本文旨在探討馬來西亞女子投球選手的身體特徵與技術，並與同類研究進行比較及分析。

Background: Asians compared to Europeans are known to be at an increasedrisk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Obesity is a global cardio metabolic healthand cancer risk. There is paucity of data regarding obesity in our local population. Aims &Objectives: To evaluate Body Mass Index (BMI). Visceral fat content and body fat percentageusing Bio-impedance body composition monitor. Thus to identify overweight and obeseindividuals with high visceral and body fat content the risk factors for cardio metabolicsyndrome. Study Design: Cross sectional survey. Setting: Outpatient Department of Medicine,Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Period: 15th January to 20th March 2016. Materialand Method: 250 patients above 18 years of age who reported in outdoor department wereenrolled after informed consent in local language according to enrollment criteria. Approved byethical review committee reference number FMS-2-2016-IRB-M-111. Their height and weightwere measured and BMI, visceral fat content and body fat percentage was calculated using bioimpedancebody composition monitor. They were asked questions for pertinent co-morbidities.The statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22.0 version. Results: Out of 250 patients enrolled144 (58 %) were females and 106 (42 %) were males. Mean age was 45 ±13 years. Mean BMIwas 29kg/m2. Above normal BMI was seen in 170 (68%), 98(39%) were obese (BMI>30kg/m2) and 80 (32%) overweight (BMI 25-29.9). Above normal visceral fat content and body fatpercentage was seen in 110(44 %) and 191(76%) respectively. In the later group 100(67%) werefemales. Diabetes and hypertension were present in 63(64%) obese patients among 30(73%)with high visceral fat and in 90(60%) with high body fat percentage. Conclusion: A significantnumber of patients were overweight or obese with above normal visceral fat content and bodyfat percentage with female dominance in later group. They also had higher prevalence ofdiabetes and hypertension. Bio-impedance technique is useful simple inexpensive tool for initialassessment of visceral and body fat content in outdoor facility.

Background: Milk products fortified with vitamin D may constitute an alternative to pharmacological supplements for reaching the optimal levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. Our aim was to analyze the response of serum 25(OH)D and its predictive factors in postmenopausal healthy women after a dietary intervention with a milk fortified with vitamin D and calcium. Methods: We designed a prospective study including 305 healthy postmenopausal women who consumed a fortified milk with calcium (900 mg/500 mL) and vitamin D3 (600 IU/500 mL) daily for 24 months. Results: The 25(OH)D concentrations at 24 months were correlated to weight, to body mass index, to the percentage of fat, triglycerides and to baseline 25(OH)D levels. We found significant differences in the levels of 25(OH)D at 24 months according to baseline 25(OH)D levels (p < 0.001) and body mass index (p = 0.019) expressed at quartiles. Multivariate analysis showed an association between levels of 25(OH)D after the intervention and at baseline 25(OH)D (Beta = 0.47, p < 0.001) and percentage of body fat (Beta = −0.227, p = 0.049), regardless of the body mass index. Conclusions: In healthy postmenopausal women, the improvement in 25(OH)D after an intervention with a fortified milk for 24 months depends mainly on the baseline levels of serum 25(OH)D and on the percentage of body fat.

The Relationship

Body mass index (BMI) is to monitor nutritional status adults, especially those related to deficiency and overweight. Body fat percentage can describe the risk of degenerative diseases.This study was conducted to measure the relationship between BMI and body fat percentage. Methods An analytical study was conducted to 41 male and 51 female participant from Universitas Teuku Umar. The body weight was measured using scales, whereas the body height was measured using microtoise. The body fat percentage was measured using Karada Scan. The BMI was calculated by dividing the body weight in kilogram divided by body height in meter square. Data was collected from 16-18th February 2021 and analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test. The results showed BMI underweight, normal, and overweight were 10,9, 57,6, and 31,5. High body fat percentage in men were 75,6% and in women were 35,5%. There is a relationship between the nutritional status of the women group and the body fat percentage with p-value is obtained = 0.021. Furthermore, for men, there is no relationship between nutritional status in the men group and the body fat percentage. There is a relationship between nutritional status and body fat percentage in women. Among this population, BMI can still be used to determine body fat percentage
