متن کاملDoes body mass index (BMI) influence the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score in axial spondyloarthritis?
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with elevated C reactive protein (CRP) levels. The Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) combines patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and CRP. We evaluated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on CRP and on ASDAS, and studied if ASDAS can be used in obese axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients to assess disease activity. METHODS Baseline data of p...
متن کاملGrowth Charts of Body Mass Index (BMI) With Quantile Regression
Growth charts of body mass index (BMI) are constructed from the recent four-year national crosssectional survey data (1999−2002) using parametric quantile regression methods, which are implemented with a newly developed SAS procedure (http://www.sas.com/statistics) and SAS macros.
متن کاملBody mass index and poststroke mortality.

METHODS A registry started in 2001 with the aim to register all hospitalized stroke patients in Denmark now includes 21,884 patients in whom BMI was recorded. There are five BMI groups: underweight (BMI < 18.5), normal weight (BMI 18.5...
