Individuals with insulin resistance and low cardiorespiratory fitness are frequently found to have an increased waist circumference and high exercise blood pressure. We tested the hypothesis that the relationships among insulin resistance, low cardiorespiratory fitness, and increased exercise blood pressure may be mediated by an elevated waist circumference. This study included 317 apparently h...

BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI), derived by dividing weight (Kg) by the square of height (m), is a useful anthropometric parameter, with multiple applications. It is dependent upon accurate measurement of its component parameters. Where measurement of height and weight with calibrated instruments is not possible, other objective parameters are required to maintain accuracy. OBJECTIVES We aim...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have relied predominantly on the body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) to assess the association of adiposity with the risk of death, but few have examined whether the distribution of body fat contributes to the prediction of death. METHODS We examined the association of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-h...

BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies have shown that children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are less likely to be physically active and have excess weight gain. However, longitudinal studies examining the relationship between DCD and measures of body composition (BMI and waist circumference) over time are lacking. It is not known if sex and physical activity affect the relationsh...

BACKGROUND Because of previously reported ethnic differences in determinants and markers of obesity and related metabolic disorders, we sought to investigate circulating levels of adiponectin and their correlates in a sub-Saharan African (sSA) population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We studied 70 non-diabetic volunteers (33M/37F) living in Yaoundé, Cameroon, aged 24-69 yr, with BMI 20-42 kg/m2. In a...

We have recently performed a systematic review which collated seventy eight cross-sectional and prospective studies exploring waist-to-height ratio and waist circumference or body mass index as predictors of diabetes and cardiovascular disease published in English between 1950 and 2008. This review, which also employed specificity and sensitivity comparisons, indicated that waist-to-height rati...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with cardiometabolic variables that reflect the metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese premenopausal White, African American, and Hispanic women. METHODS Two hundred and thirty four young overweight/obese women enrolled in a weight loss program...

BACKGROUND Middle-aged and older American men and women have almost twice the rate of diabetes of men and women in England. This differential was not explained by conventional risk factors including age, smoking, social position and body mass index (BMI). METHODS This study used large and representative samples of non-minority adults aged 52-85 years taken from the 1999-2006 American National...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Waist circumference has been shown to be a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than body mass index (BMI). Our case-control study aimed to evaluate the contribution of obesity and abdominal fat mass to the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). METHODS We recruited 1137 participants: 379 cases with stroke/TIA and 758 regional controls matched for age a...
