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
(BioMed Central, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
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 ...
Liver fat content and body fat distribution in youths with excess adiposity
(MDPI, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
Grip strength moderates the association between anthropometric and body composition indicators and liver fat in youth with an excess of adiposity
(MDPI, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
Normal-weight obesity is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in young adults
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
Handgrip strength attenuates the adverse effects of overweight on cardiometabolic risk factors among collegiate students but not in individuals with higher fat levels
(Nature Research, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
Obesity-and lipid-related parameters in the identification of older adults with a high risk of prediabetes according to the American diabetes association: an analysis of the 2015 health, well-being, and aging study
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study evaluated the predictive ability of 11 obesity-and lipid-related parameters, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WtHR), body roundness index (BRI), 'A' body-shape ...
Muscle strength cut-offs for the detection of metabolic syndrome in a nonrepresentative sample of collegiate students from Colombia
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
Validation of surrogate anthropometric indices in older adults: what is the best indicator of high cardiometabolic risk factor clustering?
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The present study evaluated the ability of five obesity-related parameters, including a body shape index (ABSI), conicity index (CI), body roundness index (BRI), body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) for ...
