Validating Neck Circumference and Waist Circumference as Anthropometric Measures of Overweight/Obesity in Adolescents.
OBJECTIVE To measure neck circumference and waist circumference, to compare it between normal and overweight/obese adolescents, and to validate these with body mass index. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in 1800 school-going adolescents. Body mass index, waist circumference and neck circumference were measured. Independent samples t-test and Pearson's correlation were used as...
متن کاملAnthropometric Characteristics of Rafsanjan Primary Schoolchildren based on Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference in 2008
Background Aims: Anthropometric indices are among common tools used in assessing nutritional status in children. This study was done to determine anthropometric indices of Rafsanjan schoolchildren by using Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference and height. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1275 primary schoolchildren were selected using two stage random sampling method. Demographic quest...
متن کاملWaist circumference, waist/height ratio, and neck circumference as parameters of central obesity assessment in children☆
OBJECTIVE To analyze studies that assessed the anthropometric parameters waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHR) and neck circumference (NC) as indicators of central obesity in children. DATA SOURCES We searched PubMed and SciELO databases using the combined descriptors: "Waist circumference", "Waist-to-height ratio", "Neck circumference", "Children" and "Abdominal fat" in Portu...
متن کاملWaist circumference and related anthropometric indices are associated with metabolic traits in severely obese subjects.
Increased waist circumference (WC) and related anthropometric indices have been shown to be, independently of body weight and body mass index (BMI), associated with adverse metabolic traits in many populations. It is unknown, however, whether WC also predicts adverse metabolic traits in severely obese subjects displaying a BMI greater than 35 kg/m2. To address this question, we analyzed a datas...
متن کاملThe association of waist circumference with ambulatory blood pressure is independent of alternative adiposity indices.
AIM The relationship between waist circumference (WC) and conventional blood pressure (BP) is independent of other clinical indices of adiposity. As ambulatory BP may offer more prognostic information than conventional BP, we aimed to identify whether indices of central adiposity are associated with ambulatory BP independent of other indices of adiposity. METHODS The relationship between indi...
