Bioelectrical impedance underestimates total and truncal fatness in abdominally obese womenMartin Neovius
Obesity Unit, M73, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Karolinska University Hospital, SE 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Obesity (Silver Spring) 14:1731-8. 2006..The secondary aim was to examine BMI and waist circumference (WC) as proxy measures for percentage total body fat (%TBF) and truncal body fat percentage (tr%BF)...
Weight loss and dropout during a commercial weight-loss program including a very-low-calorie diet, a low-calorie diet, or restricted normal food: observational cohort studyErik Hemmingsson
Department of Medicine Obesity Center, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Clin Nutr 96:953-61. 2012..The effectiveness of commercial weight-loss programs consisting of very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) and low-calorie diets (LCDs) is unclear...
Increased physical activity in abdominally obese women through support for changed commuting habits: a randomized clinical trialE Hemmingsson
Department of Medicine Huddinge, Karolinska Institutet, Obesity Unit, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Int J Obes (Lond) 33:645-52. 2009..There is, however, little evidence on the effectiveness of interventions that promote physical activity long-term, such as cycling and walking to and from work...
No apparent progress in bioelectrical impedance accuracy: validation against metabolic risk and DXAErik Hemmingsson
Department of Medicine Huddinge, Obesity Unit, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Obesity (Silver Spring) 17:183-7. 2009..26). BIA estimates of fatness were, at best, weakly correlated with obesity-related risk factors in abdominally obese women, even the new eight-electrode model. Our data support the continued use of WC and BMI...
Is the association between physical activity and body mass index obesity dependent?E Hemmingsson
Obesity Unit, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, Stockholm, Sweden
Int J Obes (Lond) 31:663-8. 2007..Most studies indicate an inverse relationship between physical activity (PA) and body mass index (BMI). However, the impact of obesity on this relationship is unclear...
Impact of social support intensity on walking in the severely obese: a randomized clinical trialErik Hemmingsson
Department of Medicine Huddinge, Obesity Unit, Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Obesity (Silver Spring) 16:1308-13. 2008..Because social support is a potential method for promoting PA, we compared mean steps/day during 18 weeks in severely obese outpatients receiving either standard support (SS) or added support (AS)...
Patient expectations of obesity treatment-the experience from a day-care unitY Linné
Obesity Unit, Huddinge University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 26:739-41. 2002..Unrealistic patient weight loss expectations in treatment of obesity may hamper the modest success which can actually be achieved...
