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: 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...

It is a well-known fact that vitamin D has an impact on many tissues of human body. Recent studies showed that vitamin D deficiency has an influence on inflamation indicators in several endocrine diseases (for example PCOS, graves disease). The aim of the study was to demonstrate correlation between 25-OH vitamin D concentration and chosen inflammation indicators (C-reactive protein and insulin) in patients with non-functioning adrenal incidentalomas. Seventy-one patients hosp...

Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with lipid and carbohydrate metabolism disorders, leading to obesity and insulin resistance. The aim of the study was to asses the correlation among anthropometric parameters, metabolic markers (lipid and carbohydrate profiles) and CRP as inflammatory indicator in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The study consists of 43 women diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome based on 2003 Rotterdam criteria. The patients were hospitalized i...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. To factors predisposing to cardiovascular diseases belong: hypertension, lipid and carbohydrate profiles, smoking and reduced physical activity. The aim of this study was to determine the association between selected factors predisposing to cardiovascular diseases and anthropometric parameters and CRP concentration in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The study was conducted amongst 43 women, aged 18-...

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: Vitamin D is important for proper functioning of all body tissues. Receptors for vitamin D are also presence in thyroid gland. It’s open questions how this vitamin could modulate the thyroid function.Aim: The aim of the study was assess the concentrations of vitamin D as well as antiTPO level among patients with thyroid dysfunction hospitalised on Endocrinology Department.Materials and methods: The study was cond...

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...
