Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed height growth patterns in Mexican boys and girls aged 2 to 18, focusing on those with differing body mass index (BMI) classifications, specifically normal vs. overweight/obese, to establish a growth reference using the LMS method.
- - Data from over 13,000 children were analyzed, revealing that overweight-obese children experienced peak height velocity earlier than their normal-weight peers but had slower overall growth during that peak.
- - The findings indicated that Mexican children are generally shorter than the World Health Organization (WHO) growth references for their age and sex, highlighting important differences in growth trajectories based on weight status.
Objective: The aim of this investigation was to analyze differences in body composition and body fat distribution between subjects following a structured cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) and subjects not involved in any CRP.
Methods: Body composition and body fat distribution were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 62 male subjects, white, who had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD). The sample came from two groups: a CRP group (n=31) who had been engaged in phase IV of a CRP for more than a year (age: 58 +/- 10 years), and a non-CRP group (n=31) who were not involved in any CRP (age: 59 +/- 12 years).
