Introduction: Osteosarcopenic obesity is characterized by a concurrent appearance of obesity in individuals with low bone and muscle mass. It seems to exert a synergistic impact on elderly performance and life quality and expectancy. In the recent years, a plentiful vitamin D extra skeletal benefits has been recognized. Considering it´s interrelation with bone, muscle and fat mass, we hy…
Aims: Considering that diet is a potential factor contributing to the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and it is increasingly prevalent among population worldwide, the aim of the present study was to correlate dietary patterns with MetS and its main risk factors in adults. Study design: Cross-sectional.Place and Duration of Study: School of Public Health, University of São Paulo, …
Background: The Vitamin D Receptor gene (VDR) is expressed in many tissues and modulates the expression of several other genes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) with the presence of VDR 2228570 C > T and VDR 1544410 A > G polymorphisms in Brazilian adults.Methods: Two hundred forty three (243) individuals were included in a c…

Introduction: Eating disorders (ED) are characterized psychiatric disorders by dysfunctional behaviors and attitudes regarding feeding and image body. The practice of physical exercise (PE) is often used as a strategy to inadequate weight loss by individuals with AT, which may Your health. Objectives: To evaluate the practice of physical exercise and bone mineral density (BMD) in women wi…
Eating Disorders (ED) are psychiatric conditions and clinical complications resulting from their typical symptoms such as food restriction, excessive physical exercise, and compensatory methods as induction of vomiting and abuse of laxatives and diuretics are the major causes for clinical complications and death. Changes and intense losses in bone mineral density increase the risk of wome…
Introduction: osteosarcopenic obesity is characterized by the simultaneous excess of adiposity, reduced muscle quantity and quality, and decreased bone mass (osteopenia or osteoporosis) and is associated with an increase in the general inflammatory state, insulin resistance, less physical exercise and consequent lower energy consumption, resulting in a vicious cycle and a deleterious syne…

Women with anorexia nervosa (AN) present increased risk to develop osteopaenia, osteoporosis, and bone fractures. The main associated factors are low weight, illness course and duration, and amenorrhea. Biochemical markers of bone turnover and hormone profile measurement can detect bone turnover changes early and predict bone mineral density and fracture occurrence. Aim: To evaluate bone …
Ageing is associated to changes in body composition. There is a natural decline in skeletal muscle mass and bone mineral density from the age of 30. Thus, it is not surprising that the elderly present both reduced parameters (low bone mineral density -BMD- plus low skeletal muscle mass and strength), which characterizes the osteosarcopenia. Osteosarcopenic individuals are at greater risk …
Adipokines such as adiponectin and leptin play, through hypothalamic modulation, an important role on bone formation, glucose homeostasis and satiety control. Leptin and osteocalcin genes are both controlled by vitamin D receptor. The effects of overweight and vitamin D deficiency at the bone mass of adolescents are not completely known, and substances such as leptin seem to have strong i…
