Body mass index is associated with fat mass in normal, overweight/obese, and stunted preschool children in central Thailand.

Background And Objectives: Body mass index (BMI) is widely used as a surrogate measure of adiposity. The relationship between BMI and body fatness varies by race, sex, and age and more variations have been found among children. This study investigated the relationship between BMI and fat mass among 3-5 year old children having different nutritional status.

Chemical compositions, functional properties, and microstructure of defatted macadamia flours.

The objective of this research was to study the chemical compositions, functional properties, and microstructure of partially defatted flours (PDF, 12-15% fat, dry basis (db)) and totally defatted flours (TDF, 1% db fat) from three macadamia cultivars, PY 741, DS 344, and DS 800, grown in Northern Thailand. The defatted flours were high in protein (30.40-36.
