Both BMI and waist circumference are associated with coronary vasoreactivity in overweight and obese men.
OBJECTIVE Guidelines differ about the value of assessment of adiposity measures for cardiovascular disease risk prediction. Reduced coronary vasoreactivity appears to be one of the earliest abnormalities in the development of coronary artery disease. We studied the associations of BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and percentage of fat with coronary vasoreactivity. METHODS My...
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, ghrelin and selected adipose tissue-derived adipokines as predictors of insulin resistance in obese patients: Preliminary results
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to estimate the association between anthropometric obesity parameters, serum concentrations of ghrelin, resistin, leptin, adiponectin and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) in obese non-diabetic insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant patients. MATERIAL/METHODS Study subjects included 37 obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2) out-clinic patients aged ...
متن کاملWaist Circumference predicting Cardiovascular Disease in Korean Men and Women Running title: Waist Circumference and Cardiovascular Disease
Objective: Obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are closely related and have become increasingly prevalent in Korea. Asians are more prone to obesity-related co-morbidities than Caucasians, even at lower body mass index (BMI) and/or smaller waist circumference (WC) values. Nevertheless, little is known regarding the association of WC with the risk of CVD in non-Caucasian populations. The au...
متن کاملWaist circumference and central fatness of Egyptian primary-school children.
This cross-sectional study of 1283 healthy children (681 boys, 602 girls) aged 6-11 years tested the degree of correlation between waist circumference measurements and adiposity. The children were classified as normal, overweight or obese according to their body mass index (BMI). For both sexes a highly positive correlation was found between waist circumference and BMI, percentage of body fat, ...
