This review explores the robustness of the assumptions underpinning the two- (fat mass [FM], fat-free mass [FFM]), three- (FM; total body water [TBW], fat free dry solid), and four- (FM; TBW; bone mineral [BM], residual) compartment models of body...

NASA's recent Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers-Florida Area Cirrus Experiment focused on anvil cirrus clouds, an important but poorly understood element of our climate system. The data obtained included the first comprehensive measurements of aerosols...

Body circumferences: clinical implications emerging from a new geometric model.

Nutrition & metabolism

Heymsfield SB, Martin-Nguyen A, Fong TM, Gallagher D, Pietrobelli A.
PMID: 18834550
Nutr Metab (Lond). 2008 Oct 06;5:24. doi: 10.1186/1743-7075-5-24.

BACKGROUND: Body volume expands with the positive energy balance associated with the development of adult human obesity and this "growth" is captured by two widely used clinical metrics, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). Empirical correlations between circumferences,...

Greater lean tissue and skeletal muscle mass are associated with higher bone mineral content in children.

Nutrition & metabolism

Dorsey KB, Thornton JC, Heymsfield SB, Gallagher D.
PMID: 20459832
Nutr Metab (Lond). 2010 May 11;7:41. doi: 10.1186/1743-7075-7-41.

BACKGROUND: To compare the relationship of skeletal muscle mass with bone mineral content in an ethnically diverse group of 6 to 18 year old boys and girls.METHODS: 175 healthy children (103 boys; 72 girls) had assessments of body mass,...

Is there evidence for a set point that regulates human body weight?.

F1000 medicine reports

Müller MJ, Bosy-Westphal A, Heymsfield SB.
PMID: 21173874
F1000 Med Rep. 2010 Aug 09;2:59. doi: 10.3410/M2-59.

There is evidence for the idea that there is biological (active) control of body weight at a given set point. Body weight is the product of genetic effects (DNA), epigenetic effects (heritable traits that do not involve changes in...

Serum creatinine as a marker of muscle mass in chronic kidney disease: results of a cross-sectional study and review of literature.

Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle

Patel SS, Molnar MZ, Tayek JA, Ix JH, Noori N, Benner D, Heymsfield S, Kopple JD, Kovesdy CP, Kalantar-Zadeh K.

BACKGROUND: Higher muscle mass is associated with better outcomes and longevity in patients with chronic disease states. Imaging studies such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) are among the gold standard methods for assessing body fat and lean body mass...

Using a multiwavelength suite of microwave instruments to investigate the microphysical structure of deep convective cores.
