Commentary: The paradox of body mass index in obesity assessment: not a good index of adiposity, but not a bad index of cardio-metabolic risk
Among the technologies currently used to describe and investigate human obesity are magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and electron microscopy. With these techniques we can discern different anatomical depots of fat, the deposition of lipid around organs and in arteries, the distribution of lipid droplets in muscle tissue, and intracell...
متن کاملBody Adiposity Index versus Body Mass Index and Other Anthropometric Traits as Correlates of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
OBJECTIVE The worldwide prevalence of obesity mandates a widely accessible tool to categorize adiposity that can best predict associated health risks. The body adiposity index (BAI) was designed as a single equation to predict body adiposity in pooled analysis of both genders. We compared body adiposity index (BAI), body mass index (BMI), and other anthropometric measures, including percent bod...

OBJECTIVE To generate a new body mass index curve of reference values and ranges for body mass index and weight gain during pregnancy and to compare the new curve and weight gain ranges with the currently used references. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted with a total of 5,656 weight and body mass index measurements in 641 women with single pregnancy who attended their f...
متن کاملP-17: Body Mass Index and Sperm Counts Associated with Varicocele in Infertile Men
Background: Varicocele is a progressive disease and etiology of varicocele is not well known. Some studies have been reported that prevalence of varicocele decreases with increasing BMI. The aim of this study was to determine interrelation of varicocoele with height, body mass index (BMI) and sperm counts in infertile men. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the data of all pati...
متن کاملIs an increased body mass index associated with a risk of cutaneous leishmaniasis?
All adults (n = 334) living in Brejo do Mutambal, an endemic area for cutaneous leishmaniasis, were included in this study. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, it was observed that men (23.7 +/- 3.2 vs. 22.1 +/- 2.6 kg/m(2)) and women (24.1 +/- 4.7 vs. 22.5 +/- 3.4 kg/m(2)) with cutaneous leishmaniasis presented higher body mass index than the controls.
