Determinants of participation in physical activity.

Rod K. Dishman, +6 more
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants of FTO influence adiposity, insulin sensitivity, leptin levels, and resting metabolic rate in the Quebec Family Study.

Ron Do, +8 more
- 03 Mar 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is confirmed that genetic variation at the FTO locus contributes to the etiology of obesity, insulin resistance, and increased plasma leptin levels, as well as several obesity-related phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of anthropometric and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures to estimate total abdominal and abdominal visceral fat in men and women.

Jody L. Clasey, +6 more
- 01 May 1999 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that waist circumference and/or abdominal sagittal diameter are better predictors of TAF and AVF than the more commonly used WHR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise and obesity.

Claude Bouchard, +2 more
- 01 Mar 1993 - 
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that regular exercise can be an important factor in the development of sustained negative energy balance conditions provided the volume of activity is high and the level of exercise performed on an almost daily basis is high.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS: Mutations in the Preproghrelin/Ghrelin Gene Associated with Obesity in Humans

Olavi Ukkola, +6 more
- 01 Aug 2001 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a low frequency sequence variation in the ghrelin gene could play a role in the etiology of obesity.
