Aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of three methods of body composition assessment such as bioimpedans analysis (BIA), air-replacement bodyplatismography (BodPod) and Dual X-ray absorptiometry Total body program (DXA Total Body) in the verification of reducing of skeletal muscle mass as sign of sarcopenic obesity in obese patients.Material and Methods: The study group included 95 patients aged 21–69 y.o. (average age 53.9 ± 11.0...

Worldwide diabetes epidemic leads to exponential increase in incidence and prevalence of associated co-morbidities and mortality. During the last 10 years we have devoted to investigate how clinical and genetic biomarkers can be used to facilitate prediction of these life-threatening hazards. Accumulating evidence from our large prospective studies indicate that decline in insulin secretion adjusted for the degree of insulin sensitivity is the key factor contributing to overt ...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multifactorial condition, ranging from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with or without fibrosis. NAFLD affects both adults and children who present with particular risk factors, including obesity, sedentary lifestyle and/or a predisposing genetic background. The escalation of the prevalence of NAFLD in children worldwide is a worrying phenomenon because this disease is closely associated with the development...

ObjectiveTo establish the association of the dynamic changes in carbohydrate, lipid metabolism parameters and blood pressure (BP) profile in patients with combined course of arterial hypertension (AH), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and to determine the efficacy of the applied scheme.
