Sensitivity of various adiposity indices in identifying cardiometabolic diseases in Arab adults
BACKGROUND Obesity is a recognized risk factor for various cardiometabolic diseases and several indices are used clinically to assess overall cardiometabolic risk. This study aims to determine the sensitivity of six anthropometric indices [Body mass index (BMI), waist, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body adiposity index (BAI) and visceral adiposity index (VAI)] in deter...
متن کاملAssociation between adiposity indices and cardiometabolic risk factors among adults living in Puerto Rico.
OBJECTIVE To compare the general adiposity index (BMI) with abdominal obesity indices (waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)) in order to examine the best predictor of cardiometabolic risk factors among Hispanics living in Puerto Rico. DESIGN Secondary analysis of measurements taken from a representative sample of adults. Logistic regression model...
متن کاملComparison of Various Anthropometric and Body Fat Indices in Identifying Cardiometabolic Disturbances in Chinese Men and Women
BACKGROUND Although many adiposity indices may be used to predict obesity-related health risks, uncertainty remains over which of them performs best. OBJECTIVE This study compared the predictive capability of direct and indirect adiposity measures in identifying people at higher risk of metabolic abnormalities. METHODS This population-based cross-sectional study recruited 2780 women and 116...
متن کاملnon-linear study of various slit shear walls in steel structures
seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...
15 صفحه اولIndices of adiposity.
In a clinical context, the term "overweight" usually connotes adiposity, an excess of body fat. In the absence of any direct or simple indirect methods of measuring total body fat, medical research workers often use formulae (indices) which relate body weight to stature. So far as we know, the uses and limitations of such formulae have never been critically examined. It is obvious that no formu...
