“…between 20 and 30), there is a great variability in BCMI (i.e. between 5 and 19 kg/m 2 ), which means that these subjects may appear overweight on the basis of BMI, but in fact those who have lower BCMI values are malnourished (Talluri et al 2003). This observation agrees with our study as the women with CVD had significantly higher BMI values and significantly lower BCMI values in comparison with women without CVD.…”

The aim of this study was to analyse differences in body composition of women with and without cardiovascular complications. Bioelectrical parameters were measured with bioimpedance monofrequency analyser (BIA 101) and tissue electric properties were analysed by bioelectric impedance vector analysis (BIVA). The clinical sample (with CVD) consisted of 254 women ranging in age between 39 and 65 years. The sample of women without CVD consisted of 318 women in the same age range and was created from database of our previous studies. Statistical analysis adjusted for age showed significant differences in body composition characteristics of the studied samples. The results of vector analysis showed significantly different tissue electric properties of women in studied groups, what was confirmed by the Hotelling T 2 -test (p=0.0000). More women with CVD attained risky mean values of obesity indices of BMI and WHR than their "healthy" counterparts. Among women with CVD 80.2% had higher value of the BMI index than optimal one (>24.9 kg/m 2 ) and 74.4% of women had higher value of the WHR index than optimal (>0.80). From the BIA parameters strong correlation coefficient was found between BMI and FM in both groups (r=0.962 for women with CVD; r=0.968 for relatively healthy women). Our data confirmed that cardiovascular disease complications are strongly linked in body composition changes. The cross-sectional nature of our study makes it difficult to draw conclusions regarding causal pathways, though variables of obesity are in line with unhealthy conditions.

“…All measurements were performed on the dominant side, while participants lied supine on an examination table with their limbs abducted away from the trunk. Four gel electrodes were attached on defined anatomical positions on the hand, wrist, ankle and foot (Talluri et al, 2003;Kyle et al, 2004a, b). The BIA measurements were performed using an Akern BIA (Florence, Italy) and Littmann 2325VP adhesive electrodes (3M, St Paul, MN, USA).…”

Objective: To assess the effects of a moderately hypoenergetic Mediterranean diet (MHMD) and exercise program on body cell mass (BCM) and cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese women. Subjects/Methods: Forty-seven obese women, 39.7713.2 years of age, with a body mass index (BMI) ¼ 30.776.0 kg/m 2 , completed the study. The following were measured at baseline, 2 and 4 months: BCM, BCM index (BCMI), body weight, BMI, fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW) using bioelectrical impedance analysis; fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations; systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. Results: Body weight, BMI, FM, TC and TG significantly decreased (Po0.001; Po0.002 (TG)) at 2 and 4 months. FFM, TBW, ECW, FBG and DBP significantly decreased at 2 months (Po0.05 (FFM); Po0.001). LDL-C significantly decreased (Po0.001), while HDL-C significantly increased (Po0.002) at 4 months. BCM, BCMI, ICW and SBP remained stable over time. Conclusion: BCM was preserved and cardiovascular disease risk factors improved in obese women placed on a MHMD and exercise program for 4 months.

Background: Accelerated pace of life and consumerism leads to an increase in obesity. The key element in programs to reduce overweight and obesity is regular physical activity (PA) by means of a healthy lifestyle. Walking, which can be simply assessed by pedometers is appropriate PA that is accessible to everyone, regardless of age and gender. Aim: The aim of our study was to analyse the effect of courses in weight reduction to the selected body composition (BC) parameters in the obese and overweight women of various age and PA level. Methods: 124 women with existing sendenary lifestyles participated in the study, they were differentiated by age (< 40 years: aged 31.3 ± 5.4 years, body weight of 88.2 ± 18.5 kg, body height of 166.5 ± 9.5 cm and ≥ 40 years: aged 51.6 ± 7.5 years, body weight of 88.9 ± 13.3 kg, body height of 163.8 ± 8.2 cm). We divided the monitored sample into sub-groups according to the level of their PA. To determine the average daily number of footsteps during the PA the Yamax pedometer was used. InBody 720 device using the Direct Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Method (DSM-BIA Method) was used to measure and analyse the BC. Results: Based on monitoring of PA and BC health risk indicators the effect of the exercise program, which included cognitive behavioural therapy, showed a decline in body mass index (BMI) and body fat expressed in percentages (PBF) and in the decrease of the visceral fat area (VFA). The amount of fat-free mass (FFM) remained the same. Preceding the therapy the BMI average was within the obesity group (BMI > 30 kg/m 2 ). Following the three month therapy we observed in women with a higher level of PA a shift to the overweight group. Therapy contributed to a reduction in PBF from 2.4% to 3.9% even though the women's groups were still classified as obese (> 35%). During the repeated measurements significant changes (p < .05) occurred only in the VFA in relation to different ages. Conclusions: Research studies have shown positive relationships between the increase in PA and changes in health risk indicators. Observance of the recommended number of 10,000 footsteps per day primarily prevents the increase in body fat mass (BFM) and maintains FFM. Taking up a weight reduction program is essential when commencing the weight loss process in the course of lifestyle change.
