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: 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: Active metabolites of vitamin D have pleiotropic influence on whole body.Aim: The aim of the study was evaluation of the correlation between vitamin D3 and TSH values in population over 65.Materials and methods: 94 patients admitted to diagnosis on Geriatric Department entered the study. People with age above 65 were included to research and divided on two groups according to sex. The material samples were obtained fr...

Introduction: Anthropometric parameters such as: waist circumference, hips circumference, or arm circumference allow to find a correlation between the obesity and the risk of some metabolic disturbances (for example arm circumference index of upper part indicates the level of protein storage in the body).Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the correlation among the arm circumference index, concentration of 25-OH vitamin D3 and lipid profile parameter...

Introduction: Old age is defined as late adulthood and is an important part of human’s life. This is the time of life, when exist the real risk of 25OH vitamin D3 deficiency.Aim: The aim of the study was find out the connections between concentration of 25OH vitamin D3 in blood and anthropometrics and biochemical results depending on diseases in persons above 65 years.Materials and methods: The research w...
