متن کاملCan waist circumference identify children with the metabolic syndrome?
OBJECTIVE To determine in children the association between waist circumference (WC) and insulin resistance determined by homeostasis modeling (HOMA-IR) and proinsulinemia and components of the metabolic syndrome, including lipid profile and blood pressure (BP). METHODS Eighty-four students (40 boys) aged 6 to 13 years and matched for sex and age underwent anthropometric measurements; 40 were ...
متن کاملOptimal waist circumference measurement site for assessing the metabolic syndrome.
In the assessment of diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome, much work, including ours (1), has been done to identify an optimal cutoff value for waist circumference, i.e., one that best predicts the clustering of metabolic risk factors. By contrast, little attention has been paid to the waist circumference site to be measured and its impact on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, alth...
متن کاملIs waist circumference an essential component of the metabolic syndrome?
The role of obesity for the metabolic syndrome definition is controversial (1,2) even though obesity is strongly related to insulin resistance (fasting insulin levels) (3), chronic inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP] levels) (4), and coronary heart disease (CHD) (5). Obesity is considered an essential criterion by the International Diabetes Federation definition (1). Howev...
