IntroductionVitamin D plays an important role in human physiology. It is synthesis mainly by the skin during sun exposure. Elderly population are at risk to develop vitamin D deficiency caused by many factors (reduced sunlight exposure, impaired skin synthesis and hydroxylation in the liver and kidney as well as decreased dietary intake and impaired intestinal absorption).AimThe purpose of the study was to as...

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is observed across all age groups and both sexes. Moreover vitamin D deficiency is common in elderly especially along elderly patients. Elderly people are prone to develop of vitamin D deficiency caused by various factors such as deceased dietary intake, impaired intestinal absorption, reduced sunlight exposure, impaired skin synthesis as well as impaired hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys. Vitamin D deficiency may leads to rickets, osteo...

Introduction: Studies demonstrate that non-functioning adrenal incidentalomas are assosiated with increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Chronic inflammation plays key role in developing type 2 diabetes, as well as cardiovascular diseases.Aim: The purpose of the study was to evaluate new anthropometric parameters (BAI, LAP, VAI, BRI, ABSI, RFM) and its relationship with inflammation indicators (PLR, MPVLR, SII) among patients wi...

Introduction: Omentin is a visceral fat tissue adipokine which regulates metabolism (insulin sensitivity) and presents an anti-inflammatory activities, by lowering C-reactive protein concentration, in obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopathy in women of childbearing age. One of the major disorders in the PCOS metabolic phenotype is obesity and hyperinsulinaemia. The anthropometric indicators are useful tools for carbohyd...

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...
