Comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis, slaughter skinfold-thickness equations, and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for estimating body fat percentage in Colombian children and adolescents with excess of adiposity
González Ruiz, Katherine; Medrano Echeverría, María
; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; García Hermoso, Antonio; Prieto Benavides, Daniel Humberto (MDPI, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua 
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been considered a reference method for measuring body fat percentage (BF%) in children and adolescents with an excess of adiposity. However, given that the DXA technique is ... -
Effects of an exercise program on hepatic metabolism, hepatic fat, and cardiovascular health in overweight/obese adolescents from Bogotá, Colombia (the HEPAFIT study): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
González Ruiz, Katherine; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; García Hermoso, Antonio; Domínguez Sánchez, María Andrea (BioMed Central, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua
Background: A considerable proportion of contemporary youth have a high risk of obesity-related disorders such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although there is ... -
Estimation of pubertal growth-spurt parameters in children and adolescents in Colombia: comparison between low and moderate altitudes
(MDPI, 2022) Artículo / Artikulua
Context-specific information, including differences in geographical areas, such as distinct altitudes, can be important to explain variations in physical growth. We aimed to compare the estimation of maximum growth ... -
Grip strength moderates the association between anthropometric and body composition indicators and liver fat in youth with an excess of adiposity
Ramírez Vélez, Robinson ; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Tordecilla Sanders, Alejandra; Correa Rodríguez, María; Schmidt Río-Valle, Jacqueline; González Jiménez, Emilio; González Ruiz, Katherine (MDPI, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua
Paediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the most common early driver of chronic liver disease. The aim of this study was to examine whether grip strength moderates the association between ... -
Handgrip strength attenuates the adverse effects of overweight on cardiometabolic risk factors among collegiate students but not in individuals with higher fat levels
García Hermoso, Antonio; Tordecilla Sanders, Alejandra; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Peterson, Mark Dean; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; Prieto Benavides, Daniel Humberto; Sandoval Cuellar, Carolina; González Ruiz, Katherine; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson (Nature Research, 2019)
Artículo / Artikulua
The aims of this study are to (i) examine a clustered metabolic syndrome composite score (MetScore) and fatness among college students across body mass index (BMI) categories, and (ii) determine whether fit individuals ... -
High intensity interval- vs resistance or combined-training for improving cardiometabolic health in overweight adults (cardiometabolic HIIT-RT study): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Ramírez Vélez, Robinson ; Hernández, Alejandra; Castro, Karem; Tordecilla Sanders, Alejandra; González Ruiz, Katherine; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; García Hermoso, Antonio (BioMed Central, 2016)
Artículo / Artikulua
Background: Although evidence shows the positive health effects of physical activity, most of the adult population in Colombia are sedentary. It is, therefore, important to implement strategies that generate changes in ... -
Liver fat content and body fat distribution in youths with excess adiposity
Ramírez Vélez, Robinson ; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Correa Rodríguez, María; Schmidt Río-Valle, Jacqueline; González Jiménez, Emilio; González Ruiz, Katherine (MDPI, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua
This study had two main objectives: To examine the association between body fat distribution and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fat content, and to determine whether the relationship between NAFLD and ... -
Muscle strength cut-offs for the detection of metabolic syndrome in a nonrepresentative sample of collegiate students from Colombia
García Hermoso, Antonio; Tordecilla Sanders, Alejandra; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Peterson, Mark Dean; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; Quino Ávila, Aura Cristina; Sandoval Cuellar, Carolina; González Ruiz, Katherine; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson (Elsevier, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua
Background: Evidence shows an association between grip strength and health; however, grip strength cut-offs for the detection of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Latin American populations are scarce. The purpose of this study ... -
Normal-weight obesity is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in young adults
Correa Rodríguez, María; González Ruiz, Katherine; Rincón Pabón, David; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel ; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson (MDPI, 2020)
Artículo / Artikulua
Normal-weight obesity (NWO) has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic dysfunction. However, little is known regarding this potential relationship in early adulthood. The aim of this study was to investigate the ... -
