Relationship between Body Composition and Cardiac Autonomic Regulation in a Large Population of Italian Olympic Athletes by Daniela Lucini, Antonio Spataro, Luca Giovanelli, Mara Malacarne, Raffaella Spada, Gianfranco Parati, Nadia Solaro, Massimo Pagani

“…We observed a clear relationship between ANS and body mass composition parameters, as indicated by both bivariate correlations and the quantile regression result of ANSIs versus the latent domain aggregating mainly body composition data expressed in % (<i>p</i> = 0.002). In conclusion, these results suggest that specific training may elicit parallel adaptation of ANS control and body composition. …”

The Effect of Childhood Obesity or Sarcopenic Obesity on Metabolic Syndrome Risk in Adolescence: The Ewha Birth and Growth Study by Hyunjin Park, Seunghee Jun, Hye-Ah Lee, Hae Soon Kim, Young Sun Hong, Hyesook Park

“…Overweight and obesity were defined as a body mass index of the 85th percentile or higher based on national growth charts, and sarcopenic obesity was defined using body composition data. Metabolic diseases in adolescence were identified by calculating the pediatric simple metabolic syndrome score (PsiMS), continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS), and single-point insulin sensitivity estimator (SPISE) as MetS indices. …”

Chemical Composition and Nutritive Value of Cream-Based Cakes from Different Brands with Special Focus on Saturated and Trans Fatty Acids Hazard by Esraa A. Owais, Ayah B. Abd-El Salam, Ashraf, A. Moawad

“…Different studies were subjected to the side effect of pastries on human health all over the world but these studies were slightly deficient in Egypt, our study aimed to determine the nutritional quality of cake samples by finding out the type of fatty acids used in processing through analyzing the fatty acid profile (SFA, MUFA, PUFA & Trans FA), in addition, Lipid Nutritional Quality Indices (LNQI) were evaluated from the composition data of fatty acids.  Data presented in this study showed bad effect of Cream based cakes consumption in Egypt especially from the local brand shops due to its high saturated fatty acid content with the highest incidence of TFA (4.5%) and high caloric value from carbohydrates content (52.8%) especially on high risk people with chronic disorders and eldery. …”
