Een verwijsindicatie voor de bevalling bij een multipara enkel op indicatie van obesitas klasse II-III lijkt niet noodzakelijk en dus niet de juiste zorg voor deze groep vrouwen. Dit concluderen de auteurs op grond van twee onderzoeken over de perinatale uitkomsten van laagrisicovrouwen in relatie tot …

Background & aims:  Individual energy requirements of overweight and obese adults can often not be measured by indirect calorimetry, mainly due to the time-consuming procedure and the high costs. To analyze which resting energy expenditure (REE) predictive equation is the best alternative for indirect …

Background: When the resting energy expenditure (REE) of overweight and obese adolescents cannot be measured by indirect calorimetry, it has to be predicted with an equation. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the validity of published equations for REE compared with indirect calorimetry …

The prevalence of obesity, defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) C30 kg/m2, reaches epidemic proportions. It is not only a risk factor for health problems, but also exacerbates illness progression. Consequently, the number of obese patients on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has increased enormously. Caring …

Aim and method: To examine in obese people the potential effectiveness of a six-week, two times weekly aquajogging program on body composition, fitness, health-related quality of life and exercise beliefs. Fifteen otherwise healthy obese persons participated in a pilot study. Results: Total fat mass …
