Purpose: This study was planned to evaluate the relationship between pulmonary function and some anthropometric measurements body composition in healthy young women with different mass index (BMI). 
 Materials Methods: One hundred seventeen (n:117) women, aged 19-30 years, participated this study. Some of participants (body weight, height, waist circumference, hip neck circumference) were ...

Uncritical application of standard weight percentile charts, derived from white infants, to infants from different ethnic groups may result in an overestimate of the incidence of intrauterine growth retardation in those groups. The ratio of mid-arm circumference to occipitofrontal circumference was studied in 194 babies (49 Asian, 58 black, and 87 white). In contrast with birth weight the ratio...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between neck circumference and central obesity, overweight, and metabolic syndrome in Chinese individuals with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 3,182 diabetic subjects (aged 20-80 years) were recruited from 15 community health centers in Beijing using a multistage random sampling approach. RESULTS Receiver operating characteris...

OBJECTIVES We investigated the correlation between changes in body weight and body composition parameters. METHODS We used the data of 2635 Japanese (40.2±12.2 years) at baseline and at 1-year follow-up from a database of 13522 subjects, which is available at the Okayama Southern Institute of Health in Okayama prefecture, Japan. Body weight, waist circumference at the umbilical level, hip cir...

BACKGROUND Lymphedema may be identified by simpler circumference changes as compared with changes in limb volume. METHODS Ninety breast cancer patients were prospectively enrolled in an academic trial, and seven upper extremity circumferences were measured quarterly for 3 years. A 10% volume increase or greater than 1 cm increase in arm circumference identified lymphedema with verification by...

Investigators from Universities of Glasgow and Bristol, UK, determined the value of head circumference (HC) as a screening measure, the incidence of head centile shifting, and the relationship between extremes of head size and later neurodevelopmental problems.

This study aimed to determine the phenotypic diversity of quantitative characteristics and results analysis kinship relationships local chickens in Kediri by using 60 adult male chickens. Data were obtained directly observing according variables: head length, chest-length, wing length from right left, shank back neck circumference, chest circumference. The showed that majority phenotypes Kediri...

Bamboo is a renewable natural building material with good mechanical properties. However, due to the heterogeneity and anisotropy of bamboo stalk, large amount performance testing costs are required in engineering applications. In this work, longitudinal compression, bending, shear, tensile, transverse compression tensile tests materials conducted, considering influence nodes. The properties wh...
