Anthropometry, Body Fat, and Venous Thromboembolism
Background—Obesity, measured as body mass index, is associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). Body mass index is a marker of excess weight and correlates well with body fat content in adults; however, it fails to consider the distribution of body fat. We assessed the association between anthropometric variables and VTE. Methods and Results—From 1993 to 1997, 27 178 men and 29 876 women 50 t...

متن کاملElevated body fat is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism and thrombotic complications
Objective: The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between body composition and BMI with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major complications: recurrence and post-thrombotic syndrome. Patients and methods: We performed a case-control study of a group of patients with VTE (n=138) and a control group (n=127) with no history of thrombosis. BMI was calculated using the formula: BMI=weig...
متن کاملPredicting total body fat from anthropometry in Latino children.
OBJECTIVE To develop prediction equations for total body fat specific to Latino children, using demographic and anthropometric measures. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Ninety-six Latino children (7 to 13 years old) were studied. Two-thirds of the sample was randomized into the equation development group; the remainder served as the cross-validation group. Total body fat was measured by DXA. ...
