The aim of the study was to assess the lipid atherogenic risk in women with metabolic syndrome (MS) based on calculating the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) {(logTriglycerides)/HDL-cholesterol}, Castelli's I and II risk indexes (the ratios total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol, respectively) and the leptin/adiponectin ratio (L/A ratio). Materials and methods: T...

Background: Validity of anthropometric measurements has not been adequately evaluated in diverse geriatric population. We determine diagnostic accuracy body mass index using different assessing the obesity geriatrics.Methods: This community based cross sectional study was carried out Bhavnagar city among people (≥60) residing 13 wards during September 2019 to 2020. Anthropometric data (height, ...

Results: Among 3055 Germans and 2925 Turks, Turkish women had significantly higher markers of (abdominal) obesity than German women, while waist circumference (WC) was similar among males. Blood pressure (BP), concentrations of total, LDL-cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B were significantly higher among Germans, whereas Turks had markedly higher fasting triglycerides and lower HDL-cholesterol. ...

Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorders. In the present study 51 hypothyroid cases and 50 Euthyroid controls were analysed for Thyroid Profile, Lipid Profile, Body Mass Index (BMI) waist circumference, Hip circumference and waist hip ratio. Out of 51 Hypothyroid subjects studied, 5 are having subclinical Hypothyroidism, 20 are having mild Hypothyroidism, 14 Subjects are having...

OBJECTIVE In previous studies of associations of variants in the genes UCP2, UCP3, PPARG2, CART, GRL, MC4R, MKKS, SHP, GHRL, and MCHR1 with obesity, we have used a case-control approach with cases defined by a threshold for BMI. In the present study, we assess the association of seven abdominal, peripheral, and overall obesity phenotypes, which were analyzed quantitatively, and thirteen candida...

BACKGROUND Limited evidence suggests that adiposity and lack of physical activity may increase the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated the relation of body size and physical activity with incidence of COPD. METHODS We obtained data on anthropometric measurements and physical activity from 113,279 participants in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and...

Backgrounds: We aimed to compare the new anthropometric measurements and traditional as body mass index which are used display visceral adipose distribution in patients with hypothyroidism. also investigate Carotid intima media thickness predictors of cardiovascular risk. Methods: include hypothyroidism healthy controls. The were divided into 3 groups overt hypothyroidism, subclinical control g...

BACKGROUND Estimates of excess mortality associated with body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)) have been calculated for the US population. OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to compare the excess mortality associated with BMI levels to the excess mortality associated with other anthropometric variables. DESIGN For the 1988-1994 Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, est...

Insulin resistance is a pathophysiologic link to development of several metabolic disorders in obese subjects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between obesity and insulin resistance using HOMA-IR index in normoglycemic obese subjects and to compare the results with the result of healthy non obese subjects. The importance is to identify the subjects in risk for developing pr...

OBJECTIVE Our study aims to identify metabolic markers associated with either a gain in abdominal (measured by waist circumference) or peripheral (measured by hip circumference) body fat mass. METHODS Data of 4 126 weight-gaining adults (18-75 years) from three population-based, prospective German cohort studies (EPIC, KORA, DEGS) were analysed regarding a waist-gaining (WG) or hip-gaining ph...
