It is increasingly recognised that the use of BMI cut-off points for diagnosing obesity (OB) and proxy measures for body fatness in a given population needs to take into account the potential impact of ethnicity on the BMI–fat % relationship in order to avoid adiposity status misclassification. This relationship was studied here in 377 Mauritian schoolchildren (200 boys and 177 girls, aged...

Cardiovascular responses to a glucose drink in young male individuals with overweight/obesity and mild alterations in glucose metabolism, but without impaired glucose tolerance

Monnard, Cathriona R. ; Grasser, Erik Konrad

In: European Journal of Nutrition, 2019, p. -

Little is known about whether mild aberrations in glucose metabolism, which are seen in overweight/obese subjects (OW/OB) without impaired glucose tolerance, affect regulator control elements for blood pressure homeostasis. Methods Hence, we measured in age-matched male subjects with normal weight (n = 16; BMI = 22.4 kg m−2) and OW/OB (n = 11; BMI = 28.6 kg m−2) continuous...
