Association between Body Mass Index and Mitral Valve Prolapse
Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) can affect cardiac morphology; however, the relationship between BMI and valvular heart diseases has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) as one of the most common valve diseases worldwide. It can help us to better understand pathophysiology of this common disease. Materials ...
متن کاملAssociation between Enuresis and Body Mass Index in Schoolchildren
BackgroundAutomatic release of urine at any time of a day during sleep beyond the age of five years defined enuresis as a health disorders in children. The etiology of enuresis is still not clearly understood. Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator to evaluate the growth trend of individuals in a population for any specific age group. Evaluation of obesity in children is important and provides a...
متن کاملAssociation between cardiorespiratory fitness and body fat in girls
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of low cardiorespiratory fitness and its association with excess body fat, considering the sexual maturation and economic level in female adolescents. METHODS Cross-sectional, epidemiological study of 1,223 adolescents (10-17 years) from the public school system of Cascavel, PR, Brazil, in 2006. We analyzed the self-assessed sexual maturation level (prepub...
متن کاملQuasi-causal associations of physical activity and neighborhood walkability with body mass index: a twin study.
OBJECTIVE Physical activity, neighborhood walkability, and body mass index (BMI, kg/m(2)) associations were tested using quasi-experimental twin methods. We hypothesized that physical activity and walkability were independently associated with BMI within twin pairs, controlling for genetic and environmental background shared between them. METHODS Data were from 6376 (64% female; 58% identical...
متن کاملMany Pathways from Land Use to Health Associations between Neighborhood Walkability and Active Transportation, Body Mass Index, and Air Quality
Growing evidence documents the adverse health impacts of common land use patterns in the U.S. (Frank & Engelke, ; Frumkin, Frank, & Jackson, ; Handy, Boarnet, Ewing, & Killingsworth, ). Thus, according to some researchers, many zoning and subdivision regulations are doing a poor job of protecting public health, safety, and welfare (Jackson, ; Lavizzo-Mourey & McGinnis, ; Sch...
