“…The body fat percentage was measured by DEXA (QDR4500, Hologic Inc., Waltham, MA, USA), which is accepted as an accurate standard [18]. The DEXA measurement consisted of a whole body scan using an array beam [19]. The subjects removed all metal objects, and were positioned in the supine position with their hands placed on either side of the body and their legs held 10 cm apart according to the specifications of the manufacturer.…”

Aim To investigate the link between serum vaspin levels and physical activity and/or physical fitness in Japanese. Methods A total of 156 subjects (81 men and 75 women) was enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Serum vaspin levels, physical activity by uniaxial accelerometers, peak oxygen uptake, and metabolic risk parameters were evaluated. We also assessed anthropometric and body composition parameters. Results Serum vaspin levels were over the level of 10 ng/ mL in 15 subjects (9.6 %: Vaspin High group). In Vaspin Low group (\5 ng/mL: 74 men and 67 women), serum vaspin levels were 0.12 ± 0.18 ng/mL in men and 0.39 ± 0.70 ng/mL in women. Peak oxygen uptake was significantly and positively correlated with serum vaspin levels even after adjusting for age, physical activity evaluated by R[metabolic equivalents 9 h per week (METsÁh/w)], BMI, and other confounding factors in men. In turn, physical activity was significantly and positively correlated with serum vaspin levels even after adjusting for confounding factors in women. Conclusion Serum vaspin levels were closely associated with physical fitness in men and physical activity in women independent of body composition in this Japanese cohort.

“…Body fat percentage was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) (QDR4500; Hologic Inc., Waltham, MA, USA), which is used as an accurate standard [11]. The DEXA measurement consisted of a whole body scan using an array beam [12]. Subjects removed all metal objects and were positioned in the supine position with hands placed prone on either side of the body and with legs held 10 cm apart according to the specifications of the manufacturer.…”

The link between cigarette smoking and predicted oxygen uptake was investigated using data for 149 Japanese men not taking medication. Cigarette smoking habits were obtained through interviews by well-trained staff. The influence of cigarette smoking on predicted oxygen uptake, predicted work rate and predicted heart rate were evaluated. Predicted oxygen uptake decreased with age. Predicted oxygen uptake and predicted work rate in men who smoked cigarettes was significantly lower than in subjects who did not, after adjusting for age. The differences in parameters did not reach significant levels after adjusting for age and physical activity evaluated by Σ[metabolic equivalents × h per week (METs·h/w)] (predicted oxygen uptake: p = 0.0632, predicted work rate: p = 0.0873). Cigarette smoking might be a modifiable factor for improving the aerobic exercise level in Japanese men.
