Low Mid-Upper Arm Circumference, Calf Circumference, and Body Mass Index and Mortality in Older Persons
BACKGROUND Low body mass index is a general measure of thinness. However, its measurement can be cumbersome in older persons and other simple anthropometric measures may be more strongly associated with mortality. Therefore, associations of low mid-upper arm circumference, calf circumference, and body mass index with mortality were examined in older persons. METHODS Data of the Longitudinal A...

However, there are few Brazilian studies on the relationship between mid-arm and head circumferences and, thus, this does not form part of the routine evaluation for newborns. OBJECTIVES To establish the mid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head...
متن کاملUse of mid-upper arm circumference for determining overweight and overfatness in children and adolescents

متن کاملWaist Circumference and Mid−Upper Arm Circumference in Evaluation of Obesity in Children Aged Between 6 and 17 Years
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the cut-off values for waist circumference (WC) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and to assess their use in screening for obesity in children. METHODS Anthropometric measurements of a total of 2621 boys and 2737 girls aged 6-17 years were analyzed. WC and MUAC values were compared with ROC analysis using body mass index (BMI) cut-off ...
