Several methods have been proposed for automatic and objective monitoring of food intake, but their performance suffers in the presence of speech and motion artifacts. This paper presents a novel sensor system and algorithms for detection and characterization of chewing bouts from a piezoelectric strain sensor placed on the temporalis muscle. The proposed data acquisition device was incorporated into...
Microvascular dysfunctions are responsible for the vascular complications of diabetes, frequently observed in obese subjects. The present study was aimed to assess microvascular skin blood flow and related oscillations in hyperglycemic obese subjects. Twenty-eight normoglycemic controls and twenty-nine hyperglycemic subjects were recruited from our Outpatient Clinics. Anthropometric measurements were...
Hypertension causes several microvascular alterations, leading to inadequate blood supply to tissues and target-organ damage. The present study was aimed to investigate microvascular skin blood flow and related oscillations in hypertensive obese subjects. Twenty-eight controls and twenty-seven hypertensive patients were recruited from our Outpatient Clinics. Anthropometric measurements were evaluated...
As the prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities continue to rise in the United States and worldwide, robust imaging techniques and accurate post-processing strategies are critically needed to accurately quantify the distribution of fat in the human body. Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy provide a wide array of sensitive methods to assess and characterize fat in storage locations such...
In recent years, the incidence of obesity is increasing year by year, and the trend accelerates quickly. Obesity is frequently concomitance with diabetes, fatty liver, blood lipid disorders, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases. So a self-serviced, portable and simple body composition testing apparatus is highly valued. The existing methods have some disadvantages, such...
