Anthropometric measurements weight, height, waist circumference (WC) hip ...

background: the appropriate designing of school equipment for establishing a suitable sitting habit, is of major importance. unfortunately, benches and desks in iranian schools are not properly adjusted with anthropometric characteristics of students. the main theme of this research is preparing some guidelines for anthropometric designing and ergonomic adjustment of benches and desks. methods:...

background: obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic disorders including increase in blood pressure. body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc) and waist/hip ratio (whr) are simple and effective indicators of obe­sity. the objectives of this study were to examine the relationships between obesity anthropometric indicators and hy­pertension and to identify the best anthropometric ...

background and aims: it is well known that dyslipidemia is related to cardiovascular disease, dietary aspect and obesity play an important role in cvd risk factor. in the present study, we investigated the relationship between calorie intake, anthropometrical parameters and serum lipids in apparently healthy women. methods: the subject were 90 healthy women aged between 20-55 who were taken par...

background: anthropometric kits are extensively used in workstation and product design projects, and with the advancement of technology, they have turned into highly complex and effective instruments. however, there are still many challenging problems in usability and reliability of application of these kits in real-world settings. objectives: to identify the usability and accuracy issues with ...

OBJECTIVE To determine which anthropometric measures are the strongest discriminators of incident type 2 diabetes (T2DM) among White and Black males and females in a large U.S. cohort. METHODS We used Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study data from 12,121 participants aged 45-64 years without diabetes at baseline who were followed for over 11 years.

OBJECTIVE It is clinically important to find noninvasive markers of insulin resistance and hyperproinsulinemia because they both predict cardiovascular and diabetes risk. Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) or "supine abdominal height" is a simple anthropometric measure previously shown to predict mortality in men, but its association with insulin resistance and hyperproinsulinemia is unknown. ...

BACKGROUND From a health promotion perspective, the use of dietary indices is preferred above single nutrients and foods to evaluate diet quality.
