متن کاملAppropriate anthropometric indices to identify cardiometabolic risk in South Asians.
BACKGROUND South Asians show an elevated cardiometabolic risk compared to Caucasians. They are clinically metabolically obese but are considered normal weight based on current international cut-off levels of several anthropometric indices. This study has two main objectives: (i) to predict the most sensitive anthropometric measures for commonly studied cardiometabolic risk factors, and (ii) to ...
متن کاملAssociation between anthropometric indices and cardiometabolic risk factors in pre-school children
BACKGROUND The world health organization (WHO) and the Identification and prevention of dietary- and lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants- study (IDEFICS), released anthropometric reference values obtained from normal body weight children. This study examined the relationship between WHO [body mass index (BMI) and triceps- and subscapular-skinfolds], and IDEFICS (waist circu...
متن کاملAnthropometric indicators of obesity for identifying cardiometabolic risk factors in a rural Bangladeshi population
AIMS/INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the predictive ability of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body fat percentages (BF%) for the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors, namely type 2 diabetes (DM), hypertension (HTN), dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome (MS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total ...
متن کاملAnthropometric Indices of Obesity and the Prediction of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in an Iranian Population
The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome are increasing globally. The present study was conducted in an attempt to define optimal cutoff values for several anthropometric variables in an Iranian population, as these may vary with ethnicity. Iranian subjects (2483 men and 2445 women), aged 15-65 years, were recruited using a cluster-stratified sampling metho...
