OBJECTIVE To compare the association between different anthropometric measurements and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to assess their predictive ability in different regions of Germany. METHODS Data of 10,258 participants from 4 prospective population-based cohorts were pooled to assess the association of body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip...

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are among the most prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality. This research investigated the relationship between physical activity, lipid profile, and new anthropometric cardiovascular risk factors among men. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 155 adult men (30-50 years old) who were selected randomly from 250 men called by public announ...

BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an alternative to the obesity treatment. AIM To compare anthropometric variables such as body composition and physical fitness of those who performed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. METHODS Were evaluated 108 women. They were subdivided in three groups: those who performed the bariatric surgery by private health insurance (SAS, n=36); by the public he...

Background: Anthropometry is a branch of anatomy. One of the important parts of anthropometry is cephalometry, which is characterized by anatomical dimensions of the head area. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between brain volume, weight, and IQ in children. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 300 students...

dopaminergic signaling is one of the regulatory pathways being investigated for its implication in glucose metabolism. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of cabergoline on biochemical and anthropometric parameters in prediabetes stage (impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance). in this double blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study, 27 prediabetic adults were random...

AIM Despite the burgeoning research interest in weight status, in parallel with the increase in obesity worldwide, research describing methods to optimise the validity and accuracy of measured anthropometric data is lacking. Even when 'gold standard' methods are employed, no data are 100% accurate, yet the accuracy of anthropometric data is critical to produce robust and interpretable findings....

OBJECTIVE: To find the reference values for 30-second sit-to-stand test and study correlation of anthropometric measures with in community-dwelling geriatric Indian population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 136 individuals aged >60 years were recruited this cross-sectional observational study. The was conducted India. After initial screening, measurements recorded. Then, conducted.
