The relationships between breast volume, breast dense volume and volumetric breast density with body mass index, body fat mass and ethnicity
It has been shown that breast density and obesity are related to breast cancer risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships of breast volume, breast dense volume and volumetric breast density (VBD) with body mass index (BMI) and body fat mass (BFM) for the three ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay and Indian) in Malaysia. We collected raw digital mammograms from 2450 women acquired...

'Constrained' longitudinal data analysis (cLDA) is a well-established unconditional technique that constrains means o...
متن کاملLean body mass, not estrogen or progesterone, predicts peak bone mineral density in premenopausal women.
Estrogen and body fat content are important predictors of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women, but their association with BMD in premenopausal women is less clear. Mounting evidence suggests that dietary fats can have detrimental effects on bone health. In a cross-sectional sample of healthy 30- to 40-y-old women (n = 242), we investigated the predictors of BMD at the hip and spi...
متن کاملThe mismeasure of (obese) man – body mass index is an inadequate indicator of body condition
The body mass index (BMI), recommended also by the World Health Organization, is currently used as the leading body condition indicator in clinical and epidemiological studies and has become popular among the general public. Here we provide evidence of a systematic bias in BMI, showing that BMI is dependent on body height. As a result, shorter persons have a greater chance of being classified a...
