Osteocalcin in Infancy and Early Childhood and Its Correlation With Later Growth and Body Composition: A Longitudinal Birth Cohort Study.
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Osteocalcin is a metabolic active hormone, which correlates positively with bone formation and inversely with body mass index and waist circumference in adults.
Objectives: To investigate whether osteocalcin in infancy and early childhood were related to childhood growth or body composition.
Methods: A Swedish longitudinal birth cohort with blood samples from 551 children from birth until 5 years of age.
US Army Accession and Retention Standards: Impact on Obesity and Medical Readiness.
Mil Med
December 2024
United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM), Natick, MA 01760, USA.
Introduction: Military body fat standards were implemented in the 1980s to prevent obesity and associated poor military readiness. In the past 2 decades, enforcement of existing Army body composition standards has been eroded by the steady increase in national obesity rates, the demand for new recruits especially during the 2007 surge in Iraq, and the COVID epidemic in 2020. The diminishing qualified recruit pool puts a new focus on accession standards.

Respir Investig
December 2024
Second Division, Department of Internal Medicine, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu, Japan. Electronic address:
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (iPPFE) is characterized by upper lobe-dominant fibrosis involving the pleura and subpleural lung parenchyma. Pathologically, it is characterized by parenchymal intra-alveolar fibrosis with marked deposition of elastic fibers and dense thickening of the visceral pleura. Since iPPFE was categorized as a rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) by the America Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society, several studies have been conducted, revealing an overall picture of iPPFE in terms of epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and mortality, in addition to its radiological and histological characteristics.

Amyotroph Lateral Scler Frontotemporal Degener
December 2024
Division of Neuroscience, School of Medicine and Population Health, Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK.
Objective: To observe longitudinal correlations between limb anthropometry against weight, BMI and functional decline in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Methods: A longitudinal, prospective, cohort study was undertaken. Four consecutive measurements of weight, height, triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), mid-upper arm (MUAC) and calf circumferences were collected at three-monthly intervals.
The finger-ring test as an indicator of muscle mass estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in an adult community-dwelling population.
Eur J Clin Nutr
December 2024
FCNAUP, Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences of the University of Porto, Porto, Portugal.
Introduction: The finger-ring test (FRT) offers a simple method to screen older adults at increased risk of sarcopenia.
Objective: To investigate the association between the FRT and lean soft tissue mass estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and to further elucidate the FRT as an indicator of muscle mass, while accounting for potential confounders, in a community-dwelling population.
Materials And Methods: Within this cross-sectional study 430 community-dwelling individuals aged 18 to 79 (286 women (66.
