How to interpret hair EtG concentrations in individuals with high Body Mass Index? Brief commentary on: Influence of Body Mass Index on Hair Ethyl Glucuronide Concentrations University of Antwerp Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Body mass index (BMI) is a variable that complicates the interpretation of the alcohol metabolite ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in hair. However, direction on how EtG should currently be interpreted within individuals consuming moderate and excessive daily amounts of alcohol related to their BMI is lacking. In light of interpretation of EtG in individuals with high BMI, we present post hoc analysis of earlier data regarding the effect of BMI on hair ...
Individual Body Tissue Distribution Varies Considerably within and between Adjacent Body Mass Index Classifications in the Elderly Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The body mass index (BMI) is an indicator of body composition (BC) and adiposity in particular. This status is the result of good correlations with indirect two- and three-component models predicting adiposity. The BMI has become the most widely used measure to diagnose obesity and yet no accepted ranges of fat percentage exist. Although being overweight or obese is strongly associated to excess mortality in large cohorts, the accuracy of BMI ...

Body Mass Index as a measure of bone mass Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Abstract
Introduction: BMI is an indicator of body composition (BC) and adiposity in particular. This status is the result of good correlations with indirect (e.g. predictive) two- and three-component models predicting body fat.
Purpose: To measure the direct relation of BMI with total and segmental BC, e.g. of skin, muscle, bone, viscera and adipose tissue.
Methods: BC constituents of 29 white elderly persons (17 females and ...

Evaluation of body fat estimated from body mass index and impedance in Belgian male military candidates: comparing two methods for estimating body composition KU Leuven
OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to evaluate whether a classification based on body mass index (BMI) agrees with a classification based on body fat mass, estimated by bioelectrical impedance. METHODS: A random sample of 448 male candidates between 18 and 20 years was selected during their medical visit in a military recruitment center. BMI was determined as weight/height2 and was considered normal between 20.0 and 25.0 kg/m2 (cfr. WHO ...
Direct relationship of body mass index and waist circumference with body tissue distribution in elderly persons. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To explore the relationship of BMI and WC with muscle/adipose tissue mass ratios and with trunk adipose tissue distribution, based on an anatomical 5-compartment model, by dissection of cadavers of elderly persons.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional explorative study.
SETTING: Brussels Cadaver Analysis Study.
PARTICIPANTS: Cadavers of twenty-nine white Caucasian elderly persons (17 females and 12 males, ...

Is neighbourhood obesogenicity associated with body mass index in women? Application of an obesogenicity index in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods University of Antwerp
An aggregate index is potentially useful to represent neighbourhood obesogenicity. We created a conceptually-based obesogenicity index and examined its association with body mass index (BMI) among 3786 women (age 18-45 y) in socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Victoria, Australia. The index included 3 items from each of 3 domains: food resources (supermarkets, green grocers, fast food restaurants), recreational activity resources ...
Mental Health during the Interpregnancy Period and the Association with Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index and Body Composition: Data from the INTER-ACT Randomized Controlled Trial Hasselt University University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Mental health problems and obesity are two common complications during pregnancy and postpartum. The preconception period is considered an appropriate period for prevention. Therefore, insights into interpregnancy mental health and the impact on weight and body composition are of interest to developing effective weight management strategies. The primary aim of this study is to assess the difference in women's mental health during the ...
