Coagulation and fibrinolysis may also influence cardiovascular risk, but the relationship of adiposity with these processes is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships of BMI (body mass index), waist circumference, hip c...

This study aimed to examine the relationship between obesity and iron indices. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 206 element...
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the ability of different measures of adiposity to discriminate between low/high motor coordination and to evaluate the relationship between different measures of adiposity and motor coordination. METHODS This study included 596 elementary school children aged 9 to 12 years (218 females - 47.1%). Weight, height, and waist circumference were objectively m...
