Green Tea the Benefits of Health Over the past 15–20 years, a number of other research studies have been conducted to determine what health benefits can be attributed to consumption of green tea and its extracts. This research has shown that green tea has a variety of potential health benefits. These benefits include anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, and benefits in cardiovascular disease and oral health. While much of this research has been performed in vitro, and a significant amount of the research done in vivo, using animal models, this will focus mainly on studies conducted with human subjects plus pertinent information from the other types of studies. Anticarcinogenic Properties of Green Tea Cancer is currently a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Billions of dollars in research monies have been poured into cancer research over the past 50 plus years, and yet we do not seem to be any c
Mass (kg) by the square of his or her height (m), as previously described. In a sub-sample (48 adults, 54% women, range mean age = 20 to 40 years old), we verified the validity of BIA for predicting BF% in Colombian adults using DXA as a referencie. Our analysis showed a strong agreement between the two methods, as reflected in the range of BF% (Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient = 0.943 (95% CI = 0.775 to 0.950, p = 0.041) and bias − 0.6 (SD 2.2; 95% CI = − 5.0 to 3.7). In line with our findings, a previously study has shown a high correlation between fat mass determined by BIA and that obtained by a CT scan and DXA . Thus, these results show that BIA and DXA are comparable methods for measuring body composition with lower/higher body fat percentages. Metabolic Syndrome Diagnosis After the subjects had fasted for 10–12 h, blood samples were obtained from capillary sampling between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.
