Measures of central fat distribution, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were significantly higher in rural residents. Visceral fat area was significantly higher among rural women. After adjustment for age, differences in waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and visceral fat area were no longer statistically significant. Conclusion: While we did not find statistically significant differences in body composition among urban and rural women, these results highlight the dramatic effect of age on measures of central adiposity. Population surveillance needs to incorporate measures of excess central adiposity, particularly visceral fat area, to better investigate changes in body composition among women in their 20s and 30s.]]> Tue 24 Jan 2023 16:01:36 AEDT ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33756 Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:57:42 AEST ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24494 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:32:04 AEDT ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28021 Thu 22 Jun 2017 09:34:21 AEST ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40031 Thu 14 Jul 2022 13:53:12 AEST ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18879 2; WC: 105 ± 16 and 110 ± 13 cm; BF: 48 ± 5 and 35% ± 6% in women and men respectively. Erythrocyte levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were similar in men and women while docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) was higher and EPA + DHA (Omega-3 Index) slightly lower in men than in women. Both DHA and EPA + DHA correlated inversely with BMI, WC and BF in women while DPA correlated inversely with BF in men. Quartile distributions and curvilinear regression of the Omega-3 Index versus BMI revealed a steep rise of BMI in the lower range of the Omega-3 Index in women, but no association in men. Thus the results highlight important gender differences in relationships of specific LC n-3 PUFA in erythrocytes to markers of adiposity. If these reflect causal relationships between LC n-3 PUFA consumption and risk of obesity, gender specific targeted interventions should be considered.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:29:38 AEDT ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21320 P=0.006), pain in more locations (P≤0.005), and a higher prevalence of lower limb pain (60% vs. 52% respectively, P=0.012) than healthy-weight children. Significant relationships were observed between body mass index and total pain locations (P≤0.004, unadjusted and adjusted) and worst pain intensity (P≤0.009, adjusted for socioeconomic status/accelerometry). There were no significant relationships between percent body fat and pain variables (unadjusted/adjusted analyses, P = 0.262 to 1.0). Discussion: Obesity in children was associated with increased overall and lower limb musculoskeletal pain, for which body mass index was a stronger predictor than adiposity. Clinicians treating obese children should screen for pain and prescribe exercise programs that take their symptoms into account.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:51 AEDT ]]> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46289 Mon 14 Nov 2022 16:24:03 AEDT ]]>
