Godziuk, Kristine, Prado, Carla M., Beaupre, Lauren, Jones, C.Allyson, Werle, Jason, Forhan, Mary
Objective: Increased infection risk after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with a higher body mass index (BMI), particularly a BMI ≥40 kg/m2, suggests that BMI reduction (through weight loss) prior to TKA may be important. However, the impact of weight loss on TKA risk reduction is...

A Nutritional Perspective of Ketogenic Diet in Cancer: A Narrative Review
2018-04-01
Oliveira, Camila L. P., Mattingly, Stephanie, Schirrmacher, Ralf, Sawyer, Michael B., Fine, Eugene J., Prado, Carla M.
The predominant use of glucose anaerobically by cancer cells (Warburg effect) may be the most important characteristic the majority of these cells have in common and, therefore, a potential metabolic pathway to be targeted during cancer treatment. Because this effect relates to fuel oxidation,...

Ability of Anthropometric Measurements to Predict Metabolic Health among Patients in Alberta: A Cross-sectional Study in Primary Care
Download2023-03-08
Ghosh, Sunita, Purcell, Sarah A., Martin, Ken, Lima, Isac, Prado, Carla M.
Purpose: This study compared anthropometric and body fat percent (BF%) equations in relation to measures of metabolic health. Methods: BF% calculations (Bergman, Fels, and Woolcott) and anthropometric measurements were used to determine obesity among a sample of patients attending primary care in...

Associations between self-reported weight history and sarcopenic obesity in adults with knee osteoarthritis
Download2021-01-24
Godziuk, Kristine, Prado, Carla M., Woodhouse, Linda J., Forhan, Mary
Objective: Examine associations between self-reported weight history and sarcopenic obesity in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Self-reported weight history was collected from n=151 adults (58.9% female) with knee OA and a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 in a...

Body composition indexes of a load-capacity model: Gender- and BMI-specific reference curves
Download2015
Broyles, Stephanie, Heymsfield, Steven B., Prado, Carla M., Katzmarzyk, Peter T., Wells, Jonathan C. K., Mire, Emily, Siervo, Mario
Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are frequently measured to define body composition phenotypes. The load–capacity model integrates the effects of both FM and FFM to improve disease-risk prediction. We aimed to derive age-, gender- and BMI-specific reference curves of load–capacity model...

Cancer-associated malnutrition, cachexia and sarcopenia: the skeleton in the hospital closet 40 years later
Download2016-01-20
Ryan, Aoife M., Power, Derek G., Daly, Louise, Cushen, Samantha J., Ní Bhuachalla, Ēadaoin, Prado, Carla M.
An awareness of the importance of nutritional status in hospital settings began more than 40 years ago. Much has been learned since and has altered care. For the past 40 years several large studies have shown that cancer patients are amongst the most malnourished of all patient groups. Recently,...

Changes in Bone Mineral Density in Patients With Non-dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease Are Associated With Body Composition
Download2024-05-07
Montenegro, Julia, Klein, Marcia R.S.T., Prado, Carla M., Silva, Maria I.B.
Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and low bone mineral density (BMD) are highly prevalent and can co-exist. Parameters of mineral metabolism are associated with BMD in CKD, but other contributing factors may contribute. The aim of this study was to assess changes in BMD and its determinants...

Pereira, Leticia C. R., Elliott, Sarah A., McCargar, Linda J., Bell, Rhonda C., Prado, Carla M.
Purpose: Energy metabolism is at the core of maintaining healthy body weights. Likewise, the assessment of energy needs is essential for providing adequate dietary advice. We explored differences in energy metabolism of a primigravid woman (age: 30 years) at 1 month prepregnancy (“baseline”),...

Clinical screening and identification of sarcopenic obesity in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis
Download2020-12-01
Godziuk, Kristine, Woodhouse, Linda J., Prado, Carla M., Forhan, Mary
Background and Aims: Sarcopenic obesity (defined as low muscle mass and strength with high adiposity) requires attention in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) due to implications on treatment outcomes. This study aimed to identify muscle function measures and patient characteristics...

Individuals with cancer may be motivated to make lifestyle changes and informed dietary choices, but are exposed to conflicting and erroneous nutrition information, particularly from online and social media sources. Changes to dietary choices that stem from a diagnosis of cancer are not fully...
