Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Protein and Exercise Have Additive Effects on Body Composition during Weight Loss in Adult Women
Donald K. Layman,Ellen M. Evans,Jamie Baum,Jennifer Seyler,Donna J. Erickson,Richard A. Boileau +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a diet with higher protein and reduced carbohydrates combined with exercise additively improved body composition during weight loss, whereas the effects on blood lipids differed between diet treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo validation of whole body composition estimates from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Barry M. Prior,Kirk J. Cureton,Christopher M. Modlesky,Ellen M. Evans,Mark A. Sloniger,Michael J. Saunders,Richard D. Lewis +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that body composition estimates from DEXA are accurate compared with those from a four-component model in young adults who vary in gender, race, athletic status, body size, musculoskeletal development, and body fatness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of total and regional fat mass to risk for cardiovascular disease in older women.
TL;DR: T trunk fat is a strong independent predictor of insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in postmenopausal women, whereas leg fat appears to confer protective effects against metabolic dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of adiposity to cognitive control and scholastic achievement in preadolescent children
Keita Kamijo,Naiman A. Khan,Matthew B. Pontifex,Mark R. Scudder,Eric S. Drollette,Lauren B. Raine,Ellen M. Evans,Darla M. Castelli,Charles H. Hillman +8 more
TL;DR: The present study provides an empirical basis for the negative relationship between adiposity and scholastic performance and suggests that adiposity is negatively and selectively associated with cognitive control in preadolescent children.
Journal ArticleDOI
A technique to assess body composition and sarcopenia using DXA: application for an obese population.
TL;DR: Summing DXA scans is a valid method for determining the risk for sarcopenic obesity and may aid research regarding obesity and risk for disability.
