Optimal cutoff of the waist-to-hip ratio for detecting cardiovascular risk factors among Han adults in Xinjiang

BACKGROUND The optimal cutoff of the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) among Han adults in Xinjiang, which is located in the center of Asia, is unknown. We aimed to examine the relationship between different WHRs and cardiovascular risk factors among Han adults in Xinjiang, and determine the optimal cutoff of the WHR. METHODS The Cardiovascular Risk Survey was conducted from October 2007 to March 2010...

Optimal cutoff of the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol  ratio to detect cardiovascular risk factors among Han adults in Xinjiang

BACKGROUND To determine whether TG/HDL-C ratio, which has been shown to be an indicator of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and insulin resistance (IR), can predict cardiovascular risk factors in the Chinese Han population in Xinjiang. METHODS The cardiovascular risk survey (CRS) was conducted from October 2007 to March 2010. A total of 14,618 representative participants were selected using a fo...

مقایسه دور کمر، نسبت دور کمر به دور باسن و نسبت دور کمر به قد ایستاده در پیشگویی اضافه وزن/چاقی دانشجویان پسر

Background: Central body fat is a better predictor than overall body fat for cardiovascular risk factors in both adults and children. Waist circumference has been used as a proxy measure of central body fat; and Waist-to-height ratio has been proposed as an alternative, conveniently age-independent measure of cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this research was to compared waist circumference,...

Comparison of Anthropometric Indices and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Active and Inactive Faculty Members of Islamic Azad University of Khomeinishahr

Introduction: Anthropometric indices and metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular disease due to inadequate physical activity have been identified as factors influencing health. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the anthropometric indices and cardiovascular risk factors with standard norms in academic members. Materials and Methods: The statistical sample of the study cons...
