“…Recently, using more direct measures, such as body fat percentage (BFP), has been proposed as a tool better able to predict the risk of development of metabolic disorders; 7 nevertheless, the evidence is scarce and its usefulness remains controversial. A previous study has reported positive correlations between BFP and hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, as well as other obesity-associated risk factors for chronic disease among older adults in rural China.…”

Normal-weight obesity (NWO) is characterized by high body fat percentage (BFP) in individuals with normal body mass index (BMI). This condition may increase the risk of serious health problems, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. However, the prevalence of NWO in older adults in Beijing remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among older adults in Beijing, using three obesity assessment indicators: BMI, waist circumference, and BFP. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting and Participants: Data were obtained from the 2012 Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging, which used a stratified, sectional, random, and cluster sampling method. Methods: Questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests were completed. Obesity was divided into four categories based on combinations of BMI and BFP: nonobese, muscle-type obesity, NWO and fatty obesity. Results: A total of 2393 community-dwelling older adults with an average age of 72.98 ±8.09 years old were recruited. Of them, 1051 were male (43.92%) and 1245 were living in rural areas (52.03%). The prevalence of overweight and obesity among older people in Beijing was 35.5% and 16.1%, respectively. When the sample was divided according to obesity classification, the proportion of muscular obesity, NWO and adipose obesity was 14.7%, 10.7%, and 41.8%, respectively. The prevalence of central obesity was 62.3%. The prevalence of obesity decreased with age, but it was higher in females than in males as well as among individuals living in urban areas than in individuals living in rural areas. Conclusion: The prevalence of NWO was 10.7% among older adults in Beijing and increased with age. Older adults who are female or living in urban areas should be instructed to take measures aimed at reducing body fat and increasing muscle strength.

“…Women participating in our study were mostly characterised by normal BMI values, with above-normal BMI only found in five people. Zegarra-Lizana et al (2019) found an association between elevated body fat content (%) and the presence of insulin resistance in a Peruvian population, despite BMI within the normal range. For the whole group of subjects, we did not observe any relationship between body weight, BMI, and fat mass (kg, %) measured prior to the training programme and the magnitude of the changes in metabolic indices due to the training programme.…”

Background Regular and individualised physical activities have been shown to prevent adverse changes associated with the aging process. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and white blood cell (WBC) subpopulations in postmenopausal women participating in Nordic walking (NW) training and to compare the use of poles with an integrated resistance shock absorber (RSA) with the use of classic poles. Materials & Methods A total of 23 postmenopausal women participated in a 8-week programme of systematic physical activity between February and April. Before and after the training programme, somatic features and serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, glucose, and insulin, were assessed, as well as lipid profile and WBC count and its specific subpopulations. Results Analysis of differences in somatic features and biochemical indices before and after training in the group of women who used RSA poles showed significant decreases in fat mass content (p < 0.05), insulin (p < 0.05), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (p < 0.05), triglycerides (p < 0.05), total cholesterol (p < 0.05) and monocytes (p ≤ 0.01). In the group of women who used classic poles (NW), there was a significant decrease in WBC (p ≤ 0.01), lymphocytes (p < 0.05), monocytes (p ≤ 0.01) and granulocytes (p < 0.05). Conclusion Increasing the training load through the use of RSA poles resulted in greater changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolic indices compared to the use of classic NW poles. In turn, the more significant effect on WBC and its specific subpopulations count in the NW, compared to the RSA training programme, may indicate that specificity of training load is an important factor in modifying the immune system response.

“…3 The latter exhibit greater metabolic dysregulation than those with normal weight and lower BF%. 4,5 Lifestyle and diet can influence BMI and BF% because low physical activity combined with inappropriate eating behaviours can increase the risk of excess BF. 6 In many studies, food consumption is analysed using food or nutrient intake as exposure but its diversity and interactions tend to compromise the analysis and interpretation of the association with health outcomes.…”

“…Clearly, obesity includes excess body fat (BF), although the current definition is based on body weight only, regardless of its composition. As a result, people with normal BMI values (19.0–24.9 kg m – ²), 2 but who have a high body fat percentage (BF%), are classified as normal weight and are in fact ‘obese normal weight.’ 3 The latter exhibit greater metabolic dysregulation than those with normal weight and lower BF% 4,5 . Lifestyle and diet can influence BMI and BF% because low physical activity combined with inappropriate eating behaviours can increase the risk of excess BF 6 …”

Background: Few studies have assessed dietary patterns (DPs) and the changes in these patterns over time in adults. The present study aimed to investigate whether possible changes in DPs in two assessments are associated with obesity and excess body fat. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in which data were collected from 1082 adults of a Brazilian birth cohort during two periods 15 years apart (T1: 2002-2004; T2: 2016-2017). Food consumption was assessed in both periods using validated food frequency questionnaires. Three similar DPs were found in the two assessments, and adherence to these patterns was classified as prudent, risk or mixed. Nine DPs changes were defined. At T2, subjects with a body mass index ≥ 30.0 kg m -² were classified as obese, and men and women with a body fat (BF) percentage ≥ 25.0 and ≥ 35.0, respectively, were classified as having excess BF. A directed acyclic graph was built to adjust the association for confounding variables. Results: At T2, 34.4% of the subjects were obese and 61.4% had excess BF. In the adjusted analysis, the changes associated with obesity and excess BF were prudent-mixed
