Inferring condition in wild mammals: body condition indices confer no benefit over measuring body mass across ecological contexts
Many studies assume that it is beneficial for individuals of a species to be heavier, or have a higher body condition index (BCI), without accounting...

Body mass is associated with hibernation length, body temperature, and heart rate in free-ranging brown bears
BackgroundDespite centuries of research, debate remains on the scaling of metabolic rate to mass especially for intraspecific cases. The high...

L-shaped association between lean body mass to visceral fat mass ratio with hyperuricemia: a cross-sectional study
BackgroundInsufficient attention has been given to examining the correlation between body composition and hyperuricemia, leading to inconsistent...

Small interannual variability in the body mass of a seabird with high flight costs
Seabird parents during chick rearing is hypothesized to regulate body mass to reduce flight costs and invest energy in current reproduction. Alcids...

“Impact of aging on maximal oxygen uptake adjusted for lower limb lean mass, total body mass, and absolute values in runners”
Performance in endurance sports decreases with aging, which has been primarily attributed to cardiovascular and musculoskeletal aging; however,...

The advantage of living in the city: effects of urbanization on body size and mass of native and alien squirrels
In an ever more urbanized world, animals have to cope with different challenging conditions that may shape the individual’s phenotype in the urban...

Differential effects of vitamin D on upper and lower body fat-free mass: potential mechanisms
Vitamin D insufficiency is a global health concern and low vitamin D status is regularly associated with reduced muscle mass and sarcopenia in...

What acceleration data from wildlife collars and animal body mass tell us about seed dispersal
BackgroundThe seeds of many plant species can be dispersed over long distances in animal fur (epizoochory). Quantifying epizoochory in the wild is,...

Gene-environment interaction explains a part of missing heritability in human body mass index
Gene-environment (G×E) interaction could partially explain missing heritability in traits; however, the magnitudes of G×E interaction effects remain...

Body mass index affects the association between plasma lipids and peripheral eosinophils in a general chinese population: a cross-sectional survey
BackgroundLipid metabolism affects type 2 immunity; however, the association between plasma lipids and eosinophilic inflammation in humans is...

Fitness age outperforms body mass index in differentiating aging patterns and health risk profiles of healthy adults aged 51–80 years
Physical fitness has been extensively shown to strongly associate with general health status and major health risks. Here we tested the ability of a...

Body condition based on scaled mass index in adult Pelophylax ridibundus (Amphibia: Ranidae) inhabiting a polluted area in Southern Bulgaria
The assessment of the health and protection of anuran amphibian populations in biotopes damaged by anthropogenic activity is today a priority and a...

Interplay of body mass index and metabolic syndrome: association with physiological age from midlife to late-life
Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) share common pathophysiological characteristics with aging. To better understand their interplay, we examined...

Triglyceride glucose-body mass index and cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a retrospective cohort study
BackgroundRecent studies have shown that triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is associated with the risk of ischemic stroke and coronary...

Scaling with body mass and age in glycolytic enzymes of domestic dogs
Animals produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation using oxygen, but cellular energy can also be obtained through glycolysis when oxygen is not...

How to weigh a fossil mammal? South American notoungulates as a case study for estimating body mass in extinct clades
Body mass (BM) is a fundamental variable for many paleobiological investigations that is challenging to accurately infer for species that lack living...
