AIM To compare the waist related anthropometric measures like waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist - hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) as predictors of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women. METHODS The study included 88 women aged 40-80 years. Waist circumference, hip circumference, height, weight, age, and other covariates were collected by questionnaire. The pr...
BACKGROUND Indices predictive of adolescent central obesity include waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Such reference data are lacking for Greek adolescents. The aim of this study was to develop age- and gender-specific WC, WHR and WHtR smoothed reference percentiles for abdominal obesity among Greek adolescents aged 12-17 years, to investigate ...
Nicotine increases serotonin release in the brain. Gene polymorphisms in the serotonergic system have been suggested to be associated with smoking behavior. We investigated a possible association between two polymorphisms in the serotonergic system - HTTLPR of a serotonin transporter gene and 5-HT(2A) at position T102C - with biochemical and anthropometric parameters, and with cigarette smoking...
BACKGROUND The objective of the present study was to develop predictive equations for maximum respiratory pressures in women according to anthropometric characteristics. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 156 women between ages 25 and 65 y with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 55 kg/m2), who were evaluated for body mass, height, BMI, neck circumference, waist circumference, h...
We analyze the crossover from an hc /e periodicity of the persistent current in flux-threaded clean metallic rings toward an hc /2e-flux periodicity of the supercurrent upon entering the superconducting state. On the basis of a model calculation for a one-dimensional ring we identify the underlying mechanism, which balances the hc /e versus the hc /2e periodic components of the current density....
Presence of high rates of overweight and obesity among adult Marwaris of Howrah, West Bengal, India.
A cross-sectional study of 220 (110 men and 110 women) adult (> 20 years) Marwaris of Howrah, West Bengal, India, was undertaken to investigate the frequency of overweight and obesity, using different criteria. Results revealed that men had significantly greater mean height, weight, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), conicity index (CI) and fat free mass (FFM), compared with women...
Biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) were compared by race and sex in 5,405 ultrasound examinations done on 2,831 women. Black fetuses had significantly longer FL than white fetuses; male fetuses had larger BPD, HC and AC than females. The differences in BPD, HC and AC correlated with the different birth weights observed between ...
OBJECTIVE To provide an evidence-based update emphasizing the importance of measuring head circumference (HC) in infants, with a focus on microcephaly. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE PubMed and EMBASE (OvidSP) were searched. Search terms used were head circumference and infants and measurement; microcephaly and infants and measurement; idiopathic microcephaly and infants; and congenital microcephaly and...
BACKGROUND Body size has been hypothesized to influence the risk of prostate cancer; however, most epidemiologic studies have relied on body mass index (BMI) to assess adiposity, whereas only a few studies have examined whether body fat distribution predicts prostate cancer. METHODS We examined the association of height, BMI, waist and hip circumference, and waist-hip ratio with prostate canc...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate serum leptin, adiponectin and paraoxonase1 levels in adult females receiving pharmacotherapy for various psychiatric disorders. METHODS The study group consisted of 32 obese females (mean age 40.53 +/- 11.00 years, mean body mass index 35.44 +/- 5.33 kg/m(2)) who were receiving treatment for psychiatric disorders, and the control group inclu...
