“…BIA is a noninvasive, low-cost, and reliable method of body composition assessment [ 25 ]. The body composition parameters, including the visceral fat rating, percentage of body fat, fat mass (kg), fat-free mass (kg), muscle mass (kg), total body water (kg), percentage of total body water, bone mass (kg) and basal metabolic rate (kcal), are measured by a body composition analyzer (TANITA SC-330) in a standing position while barefoot after patients had taken off metal items, such as belts, earrings, and necklaces, as well as their outerwear [ 26 , 27 ]. The Tanita body composition analyzer is a system to estimate the body composition based on the principle of bioelectrical impedance analysis.…”

Increased visceral fat is associated with an increased mortality rate. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive method to assess visceral fat that is easily accessible and avoids exposure to radiation. It is unknown how a visceral fat rating from a noninvasive machine correlates with the serum lipid profile and fasting blood sugar (FBS). The aim of this research is to study the correlation of the visceral fat rating obtained by a noninvasive method with the serum lipid profile and FBS. This cross-sectional study involved 90 obese adults, ranging in age from 18 to 60 years old. The visceral fat rating was measured by BIA. The results demonstrated that significant positive correlations were found between the serum triglycerides and visceral fat rating (r ¼ 0.287, P ¼ 0.006) and between the FBS and visceral fat rating (r ¼ 0.210, P ¼ 0.047). There was a negative correlation between the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and visceral fat rating (r ¼-0.322, P ¼ 0.002). In conclusion, statistically significant positive correlations were found between the serum triglycerides and visceral fat rating and between the FBS and visceral fat rating, and a negative correlation was found between the serum HDLcholesterol and visceral fat rating.

Background and aimsCereal-based foods such as fruit granola (FG) and corn flakes (CF) form part of a fiber-rich diet. Dietary fiber has a good effect on human health. However, changes in gut microbiota and intestinal immunity have not been investigated. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to investigate the effects of FG and CF intake on gut microbiota, metabolome, and the immune system.MethodsSubjects continuously consume CF or FG for 4 weeks. Stool samples, and questionnaires on defecation were collected before, 2 weeks after, and 4 weeks after intake. Gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Fecal metabolomes were analyzed using GC/MS and CE-TOF/MS. Fecal IgA was analyzed using ELISA.ResultsThe defecation frequency after cereal based food intake was improved. The different cereal-based foods had different effects on gut microbiome. The increase in intestinal IgA levels was positively correlated with the relative abundance of Dialister and the Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group in CF and FG group, respectively. SCFAs showed a positive correlation with Prevotella 9 in the FG group.ConclusionThis study showed that the supplement in dietary fiber contained in CF and FG improves bowel movements. CF and FG each had different effects on gut microbes, metabolites and different relationships between fecal IgA or SCFAs and gut microbiota.

Physical activity and sedentary behaviour research in Thailand: a systematic scoping review

BackgroundThe number of deaths per year attributed to non-communicable diseases is increasing in low- and middle-income countries, including Thailand. To facilitate the development of evidence-based public health programs and policies in Thailand, research on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) is needed. The aims of this scoping review were to: (i) map all available evidence on PA and SB in Thailand; (ii) identify research gaps; and (iii) suggest directions for future research.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted through 10 bibliographic databases. Additional articles were identified through secondary searches of reference lists, websites of relevant Thai health organisations, Google, and Google Scholar. Studies written in Thai or English were screened independently by two authors and included if they presented quantitative or qualitative data relevant to public health research on PA and/or SB.ResultsOut of 25,007 screened articles, a total of 564 studies were included in the review. Most studies included PA only (80%), 6.7% included SB only, and 13.3% included both PA and SB. The most common research focus was correlates (58.9%), followed by outcomes of PA/SB (22.2%), prevalence of PA/SB (12.4%), and instrument validation (3.2%). Most PA/SB research was cross-sectional (69.3%), while interventions (19.7%) and longitudinal studies (2.8%) were less represented. Most studies (94%) used self-reports of PA/SB, and few (2.5%) used device-based measures. Both sexes were examined in most studies (82.5%). Adults were the main target population group (51.1%), followed by older adults (26.9%), adolescents (15.7%), and children (6.3%). Clinical populations were investigated in the context of PA/SB in a relatively large number of studies (15.3%), most frequently those with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension (22%, 21%, and 21% respectively).ConclusionsThe number of Thai papers on PA published per year has been increasing, indicating a growing interest in this research area. More studies using population-representative samples are needed, particularly among children and adolescents, and investigating SB as a health risk factor. To provide stronger evidence on determinants and outcomes of PA/SB, longitudinal studies using standardised measures of PA and SB are required.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5643-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
