Body Mass as a Biomarker and Femoral Fracture
Body mass represents a wide range of components, from atoms to tissues or organs. In clinical practice, body composition is generally assessed at the...

Assessment of body mass-related covariates for rifampicin pharmacokinetics in healthy Caucasian volunteers
PurposeCurrently, body weight-based dosing of rifampicin is recommended. But lately, fat-free mass (FFM) was reported to be superior to body weight...

Host body mass, not sex, affects ectoparasite loads in yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis
We investigated the presence and potential causes of sex bias in ectoparasite infestations in the yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis . We...

The impact of body mass index and physical disability on home-based anal self-sampling
PurposeSelf-sampling is increasingly being used in screening programs, yet no studies to date have examined the impact of bodily characteristics on...

Lower levels of plasma syndecan-4 are associated with loss of body weight and fat-free mass after bariatric surgery
ObjectiveBariatric surgery induces a significant loss of both fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). The proteoglycan receptor syndecan-4 (SDC4)...

Variability of polygenic prediction for body mass index in Africa
BackgroundPolygenic prediction studies in continental Africans are scarce. Africa’s genetic and environmental diversity pose a challenge that limits...

Defining left ventricular remodeling using lean body mass allometry: a UK Biobank study
PurposeThe geometric patterns of ventricular remodeling are determined using indexed left ventricular mass (LVM), end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and...

Body mass index, triglyceride-glucose index, and prostate cancer death: a mediation analysis in eight European cohorts
BackgroundInsulin resistance is a hypothesised biological mechanism linking obesity with prostate cancer (PCa) death. Data in support of this...

Mendelian randomization analysis reveals higher whole body water mass may increase risk of bacterial infections
Background and purposeThe association of water loading with several infections remains unclear. Observational studies are hard to investigate...

The interaction between muscle pathophysiology, body mass, walking speed and ankle foot orthosis stiffness on walking energy cost: a predictive simulation study
BackgroundThe stiffness of a dorsal leaf AFO that minimizes walking energy cost in people with plantarflexor weakness varies between individuals....

Relating QRS voltages to left ventricular mass and body composition in elite endurance athletes
PurposeElectrocardiogram (ECG) QRS voltages correlate poorly with left ventricular mass (LVM). Body composition explains some of the QRS voltage...

Combined associations of a healthy lifestyle and body mass index with colorectal cancer recurrence and survival: a cohort study
PurposeColorectal cancer (CRC) risk is associated with modifiable lifestyle factors including smoking, physical inactivity, Western diet, and excess...
