Abstract:

SummaryCentral obesity has been associated with the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease in children. A total of 358 Delhi school girls aged 6–11 years were measured for height, weight, waist circumference and hip circumference. The study demonstrates a linear correlation between body mass index (BMI) and waist and hip circumference and suggests an indirect method of estimating waist and hip circumferences, whose high values may be used for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Further investigations on different groups are needed to substantiate these results

Abstract:

Pauses in breathing during sleep or better known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the disorders that greatly disturb the quality of life of many people. Lifestyle changes such as reducing obesity can reduce OSA. One of the method to measure the level of obesity is the measurement of waist circumference, as one good indicator to know the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Therefore, in this study would like to understand the relationship between waist circumferences with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This research method is analytical research with cross sectional study approach.

Abstract contains Online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic are implemented to reduce face-to-face activities. Online lectures have various impacts on students, one of them is reduced physical activity. The result of online lectures is a change in waist circumference and hip circumference. This may cause obesity in students. The objective of this study is to show the changes that occur and the relationship between changes in the shape of the hip and waist circumference due to online lecture

Abstract:

Background While weight gain during first year of university has been well documented in North America, literature on sex-specific effects is scarce and inconsistent. The objective of this investigation was to explore sex-specific changes in obesity traits during first year of university at McMaster University (Ontario, Canada). Methods 245 first-year students (80.4% females) were followed longitudinally with data collected early in the academic year and towards the end of the year. Obesity parameters including weight, waist and hip circumferences, BMI, and waist to hip ratio were investigated

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The association of serum triglycerides plus waist circumference seems to be a good marker of cardiovascular risk and has been named the “hypertriglyceridemic waist” phenotype. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype and HDL-cholesterol among patients with heart failure. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in a tertiary-level hospital in southern Brazil. METHODS: We included patients with heart failure aged > 40 years.

Abstract:

A total of 153 men with obesity of different degree and 51 men with normal body weight aged 40-60 years were examined in order to detect a relationship between anthropometric parameters and computer tomography data characterizing the accumulation of abdominal fat at different sites. Body weight, height, waist and hips circumferences, and cutaneo-fatty folds were measured. The area of total abdominal fatty tissue, vis- ceral and subcutaneous fat were evaluated by computer tomography; scanning of the abdominal cavity showed images of two sections (at the levels of the 2-3 and 4-5 lumbar verte br

Abstract:

Background: Anthropometric measures have been used for screening patients for cardiovascular abnormalities and metabolic syndrome since many years. There are numerous methods to assessing overweight and obesity, such as measurements of weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference and calculation of waist hip ratio and BMI. Due to cultural inhibitions measurement of hip, thigh or waist circumference is cumbersome in females, neck circumference could be an acceptable option for such patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients attending the outpatient department

Abstract:

Adiponectin, an adipose tissue-specific plasma protein, was recently revealed to have anti-inflammatory effects on the cellular components of vascular wall. Its plasma levels were significantly lower in men than in women and lower in human subjects with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or coronary artery disease. Therefore, it may provide a biological link between obesity and obesity-related disorders such as atherosclerosis, against which it may confer protection. In this study, we observed the changes of plasma adiponectin levels with body weight reduction among 22 obese patients who recei

A cross-sectional study of 1500 adolescents (11–19 years) in Alexandria, Egypt, was conducted. Resting BP was measured and measurements were categorized using the 2004 fourth report on blood pressure screening recommendations. Additional measures included height, weight, and waist and hip circumferences. Obesity was determined based on BMI, waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) indicators. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were used

Diet and anthropometic measures are important indicators of risk of various complications in type 2 diabetics. The purpose was to assess the hypothesis that there would be gender differences in anthropometric measures and dietary intakes for energy and energy-yielding nutrients including oleic acid in the study population of well-controlled (HbA1c &lt; 8 %) Caucasian type 2 diabetics. Males (n=18) and females (n = 14) participated. Subjects came in for two visits each 3 months apart. Males differed from females only in height (m) (1.72 + 0.02 vs 1.59 ± 0.01), hip circumference (cm) (103.0

Introduction. The study of adiposity in children and adolescents is an important issue in the era of the global epidemic of obesity. Body mass index is the most common, but not the only body fat index. There are also indexes based on waist and hip circumferences. The purpose of this work is to analyze the age variability and correlation between various anthropometric indices and bioimpedance estimates of the percentage of body fat in children and adolescents. Materials and methods. We analyzed the data of children and adolescents of both sexes 7-17 years old, 1885 boys and 1453 girls, collecte
