Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is usually accompanied by metabolic changes such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders and obesity.Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the impact of the deployment of body fat on selected biochemical parameters in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.Materials and methods: The study included a group of 45 women with diagnosed Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome based on the 2003 Rott...

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is the most common recognized endocrinopathy in women. The syndrome is often accompanied by obesity and insulin resistance.Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the differences between the selected anthropometric and biochemical parameters in a group of women with insulin resistance and without insulin resistance.Materials and methods: The study included a group of 45 women diagnosed with P...

Introduction: Anthropometric studies are one of the methods, by means of which it is possible to assess patient’s nutritional status.Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the selected anthropometric as well as biochemical parameters and CRP- reactive protein concentration among patients with endocrine disorders.Materials and methods: The studied group involved all patients hospitalized at the Endocr...

Introduction: Early detection of carbohydrate and fat metabolism disorders in women with polycystic ovary syndrome allows the early prevention of cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes.Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the selected metabolic indicators and anthropometric measurements in two groups of women: metabolically healthy polycystic ovary syndrome (MH-PCOS) and metabolically unhealthy PCOS (MU-PCOS).Material...

Introduction: Anthropometric parameters such like BMI aren’t suitable enough for each type of figure and leads to misinformation about body composition. Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is suggested as an alternative for BMI.Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the usefulness of BAI in context to body composition parameters.Materials and methods: The BAI index was calculated for 86 patients according to previously described form...

Introduction: The majority of secreted hormones influence the whole body, its weigh and constitution as the results of ongoing metabolism. Scientific studies have reported the existence of relationship between the TSH and selected anthropometric parameters such as BMI or body weight.Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the value of TSH and selected anthropometric parameters in the group of endocrine patients.<p class="abst...

Introduction: Vitamin D in the human body plays a very important role.Aim: The aim of the study was identify the differences in concentration of 25OH vitamin D3 in blood and compared with anthropometrics and biochemicals results of researched group of people.Materials and methods: To research were included 212 patients hospitalized on Endocrinology Department of Hospital in Poland in 2012. Patients were divided into thre...

Introduction: Anthropometric parameters are easy and quickly methods of assess risks of many diseases.Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between calf circumference index, selected anthropometric (such as BMI, BAI, WHR, WHtR index) and biochemical parameters (such as concentration of 25(OH)D3, lipid profile, fasting glucose) among patients over 60 years.Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study was done ...

Introduction: Hormonal changes during menstrual cycle among women without hormonal contraception could probably influence the food intake. Sex hormones modulate body energy expenditure by affecting hypothalamus neurohormones.Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the way of nutrition among menstruating women without hormonal contraception, depend of menstrual cycle.Materials and methods: 77 menstruating women in age 19–26 ent...

Introduction: Sex hormones, such as estrogens or progesterone may have, both directly and indirectly, an influence on the appetite changes in.
