Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in Children and Adolescents with Obesity: A Narrative Review Open
Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as primary pseudotumor cerebri, is characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP) without an identifiable cause. It can lead to significant morbidity, including per…

Phase angle is associated with nutritional risk in subacute stroke patients at the beginning of rehabilitation Open
In stroke patients, low PhA values were associated with high nutritional risk. PhA at the beginning of rehabilitation may serve as a reliable parameter to be considered in the evaluation of nutritional status.

Severe Obesity Defined by Percentiles of WHO and Cardiometabolic Risk in Youth with Obesity Open
Background/Objectives: The pediatric definition of severe obesity (OB) depends on the body mass index (BMI) references. We evaluated different BMI-derived metrics of the World Health Organization (WHO) system to define which cut-off is ass…

Self-Perception Profile, Body Image Perception and Satisfaction in Relation to Body Mass Index: An Investigation in a Sample of Adolescents from the Campania Region, Italy Open
(1) Background: Body image dissatisfaction has been commonly reported in adolescents with overweight/obesity and has been related to a lack of motivation to change lifestyle behaviors. Plus, a better perception of physical fitness has been…

The Assessment of the Risk of Malnutrition (Undernutrition) in Stroke Patients Open
Malnutrition is common in stroke patients, as it is associated with neurological and cognitive impairment as well as clinical outcomes. Nutritional screening is a process with which to categorize the risk of malnutrition (i.e., nutritional…
View article: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Derived Phase Angle and Body Composition Are Predictors of Health-Related Fitness in Children and Adolescents with Obesity
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Derived Phase Angle and Body Composition Are Predictors of Health-Related Fitness in Children and Adolescents with Obesity Open
There is little evidence in children and adolescents with obesity of the relationships between muscle strength/cardiorespiratory fitness (both components of health-related fitness = HRF) and body composition. Body composition and HRF were …
