Personality Traits and Body Mass Index in Asian Populations.
Research on personality and adiposity has focused primarily on Western samples; less is known about the personality correlates of BMI in Asian populations. We examined the association between personality and Body Mass Index (BMI) among community-dwelling Japanese adults (N=380), Chinese adolescents (N=5,882), and a meta-analysis inclusive of a published Korean sample (total N=10,304). In the ne...
متن کاملMeasuring Adiposity in Patients: The Utility of Body Mass Index (BMI), Percent Body Fat, and Leptin
BACKGROUND Obesity is a serious disease that is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, among other diseases. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates a 20% obesity rate in the 50 states, with 12 states having rates of over 30%. Currently, the body mass index (BMI) is most commonly used to determine adip...

متن کاملWeight Phenotype Diagnostic Test Method: Body Mass Index or Body Fat Percent for Gene Expression
Obesity continues increasing at epidemic levels worldwide, as does the number of genetic studies that focus on obesity. Body mass index (BMI) is often used to characterize weight phenotypes and obesity status due to its simplicity. Refined measurements of body composition may be needed to understand variations in gene expression. This study explores gene expression when individuals are characte...
