Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for assessment of percentage body fat in a large, healthy population
Guang Sun,Curtis R. French,Glynn Martin,Ban Younghusband,Roger C. Green,Ya-Gang Xie,Maria Mathews,Jane Barron,Donald Fitzpatrick,Wayne Gulliver,Hongwei Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: BIA is a good alternative for estimating %BF when subjects are within a normal body fat range, but tends to overestimate %BF in lean subjects and underestimate % BF in obese subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body fat percentage is associated with cardiometabolic dysregulation in BMI-defined normal weight subjects.
TL;DR: Those with elevated %BF are at increased risk of developing cardiometabolic disease despite having a normal BMI, and future development of adequate screening tools to identify these individuals is crucial to the prevention of obesity-associated disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food addiction: its prevalence and significant association with obesity in the general population.
Pardis Pedram,Danny Wadden,Peyvand Amini,Wayne Gulliver,Edward Randell,Farrell Cahill,Sudesh Vasdev,Alan Goodridge,Jacqueline C. Carter,Guangju Zhai,Yunqi Ji,Guang Sun +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ‘food addiction’ contributes to severity of obesity and body composition measurements from normal weight to obese individuals in the general population with higher rate in women as compared to men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered Calcium Homeostasis Is Correlated With Abnormalities of Fasting Serum Glucose, Insulin Resistance, and β-Cell Function in the Newfoundland Population
TL;DR: The results suggest that alteration of serum calcium homeostasis is significantly correlated with the abnormality of glucose level, insulin resistance, and beta-cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum visfatin concentrations are positively correlated with serum triacylglycerols and down-regulated by overfeeding in healthy young men
Guang Sun,Jessica Bishop,Sammy Khalili,Sudesh Vasdev,Vicki Gill,David Pace,Donald Fitzpatrick,Edward Randell,Ya-Gang Xie,Hongwei Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: Under physiologic conditions, visfatin does not appear to control glucose metabolism but may play a regulatory role in lipid metabolism and be down-regulated by overfeeding.
