“…Men and women in the current study had baseline percentage fat mass comparable with those found in an Indian population, although that study covered a wider age range. 49 The high baseline percentage body fat for the women in the current study, making well over one-third of their body mass, and with a concurrent lower body density, is consistent with the baseline blood chemistry findings from another of our study on the same sample where the women had higher total cholesterol (TC) values. 50 Based on Jackson and Pollock equations, men in this study had average baseline body fat, but their female counterparts were obese at the start point.…”

BackgroundSedentary lifestyles and related morbidities are rising among adults despite existing exercise recommendations. Appealing exercise regimes yielding similar/better body composition should be sought.ObjectiveWe investigated the effect of moderate-intensity exercise bouts of <10 min on body composition in previously sedentary adults.MethodsThis unblinded study enrolled 53 healthy sedentary volunteers aged ≥50 years, randomised into one of two gender-balanced exercise interventions: (1) male and (2) female short-duration bouts (MS, n=14; FS, n = 13), and (3) male and (4) female long-duration bouts (ML, n=13; FL, n=13). Short-duration bouts entailed 5–10 min of jogging thrice daily; long-duration bouts, 30–60 min 3–5 days weekly. Body composition was determined at recruitment and 8-weekly thereafter, for 24 weeks.ResultsAt baseline, 14.3% of MS, 38.5% of ML, 92.3% of FS and 69.2% of FL were obese, dropping to 7.1%, 15.4%, 61.5% and 30.8%, respectively. For waist:height ratio, 64.3 % of MS, 76.9% of ML, 100% of FS and 84.6.3% of FL had ratios >0.5, dropping to 42.9%, 30.8%, 92.9% and 26.2%, respectively. While baseline MS and ML waist:hip ratio (WHR) ≥0.9 were 64.3% and 69.2%, respectively, they correspondingly dropped to 23.1% and 21.4%. The FS and FL with WHR ≥0.85 dropped from 46.2% to 15.4% and from 30.8% to 7.7%, respectively. Body composition variables improved for both sexes (all p <0.05) and mean change between exercise regimes was comparable for both sexes.ConclusionIn equal cumulative times, moderate-intensity exercise bouts lasting <10 min are comparable with current 30–60 min bouts in body composition modification for adults of ≥50 years.

“…While data abounds elsewhere, it is based on non-African populations, and cause comparison difficulties where racial differences may be present. For instance, while males in the current study had fat mass of 22% and their female counterparts a fat mass of 38%, an Indian population had percentages of 25 and 30, respectively, though this covered a wider age-range [37]. A 15-year bi-annual crosssectional study to determine cut-offs for a US population found higher percentages for women, but the categorization was based on the various BMI subsets used for analysis, and therefore not entirely comparable with the current study [38].…”

Chronic disease, more prevalent among the elderly, is influenced by body composition and cardio-metabolic physiognomies. Aim: In this study, body composition, cardiovascular, and metabolic function in sedentary but healthy Kenyan individuals of ≥ 50 years was determined. Methods: For 53 volunteers from Eldoret, Kenya, their biological, demographic characteristics, metabolic functions, cardiovascular performance, and body composition measurements were done before they were subjected to a Shuttle Run Test (SRT). Following SRT, their cardiovascular parameters were measured, and maximal oxygen consumption estimated. Fasting blood sugars and lipid profiles were measured after a 12-hour fast. Results: For males and females, respectively, the following parameters were recorded: average ages 55.5 ± 3.0 and 53.9 ± 3.0 years, BMI > 24.9 Kg/M 2 in 67% and 88.5%, waist-to-height ratio ≥ 0.5 in 70% and 88.5%, waist-hip ratio 78% (≥ 0.90) and 38.5% (≥ 0.85), and blood pressure >140/90 mmHg in 22.2% and 23.1%. Pre-diabetic to diabetic values were found in 70.4% males and 88.5% females. The percent body fat was 22.3 ± 8.0 and 38.3 ± 4.69 in males and females, respectively. Lipid profile for males and females, respectively, showed high Total Cholesterol (TC) in 48.1% and 42.3%, anomalous Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) in 29.6% and 26.9%, lower than normal HDL levels in 29.6% and 23.1%, elevated triglycerides in 22.2% and 7.7%, abnormal TC/HDL ratio in 44.4% and 38.5% females, higher LDL/HDL in 33.3% and 34.6%, and critical Triglycerides/HDL levels in 7.4% and 3.8%. Overall, 51.9% of males and 53.8% of females showed features consistent with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Majority of elderly sedentary Kenyans have body compositions and cardio-metabolic profiles below that for good cardiopulmonary fitness.

“…[6] Obesity, weight, and BMI are positively correlated with BMD[34] and TG is also positively correlated with obesity. [28] Hence, it is not surprising to find a positive correlation of TG with BMD, which gets neutralized when adjusted for BMI or fat mass.…”

Introduction:Cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis share common risk factors including dyslipidemia. There are conflicting reports of differential relation of various lipid parameters on bone mineral density (BMD). Hence, we studied the correlation between lipid parameters and BMD in healthy adult.Materials and Methods:A total of 2347 participants (male 39.4%; female 60.6%) included in this cross-sectional study were divided according to sex and age. Fasting blood samples were drawn for biochemical parameters. BMD at lumbar spine, femur, and forearm were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Results:In males, BMD at femur and lumbar spine decreased significantly with increasing quartiles of total cholesterol (TC) (P < 0.0001, and 0.004) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (P = 0.001, and 0.01). In premenopausal women, BMD at femoral neck (P = 0.001) and lumbar spine (P = 0.029) showed declining trend with LDL-c (P = 0.007). In postmenopausal women, only BMD at total femur decreased significantly with TC (P = 0.024) and LDL-c (P = 0.036). All above findings were confirmed in correlation studies. In multiple regression analysis after adjusting for age, body mass index, ionized calcium, alkaline phosphatase, 25 hydroxy vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels correlation of BMD with TC and LDL-c persisted. TC, LDL-c was higher in subjects with low bone density compared those with normal bone density in both sexes.Conclusions:TC and LDL-c had weak but significant negative correlation with BMD at femur and lumbar spine.
