Background: Waist circumference has been correlated with the risk of hyperuricemia. Whether neck circumference is also associated with hyperuricemia has not been assessed. This study aimed to investigate whether neck circumference is associated with hyperuricemia. Methods: This study population from Beijing is part of the larger China-wide Risk Evaluation of Cancers in Chinese Diabetic Individu...

In the study, six body measurements namely, body length, thigh circumference, shank length, chest width, body circumference and girth were de...

introduction: despite a growing popularity of noninvasive ultrasonic lipolysis procedure, there is a lack of evidence about the efficacy of this method. this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of focused ultrasonic lipolysis on abdominal cellulite treatment. methods: twenty-eight consecutive subjects (age: 37.8 ± 8 years) underwent weekly transdermal focused ultrasonic lipolysis (med ...

BACKGROUND Low birthweight should be identified early, even in developing countries where birthweight cannot be easily measured due to the absence of scales and trained staff. This meta-analysis evaluated and compared the use of other anthropometric measurements at birth to predict low birthweight. METHODS All studies of medium to high quality (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studie...

Genetic diversity, heritability, the genetic advance of yield, and associated traits are some important criteria to generate basic information related improvement crops. Some characters Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw. genotype fruits have been evaluated for their purpose. Genotypes fruit samples were randomly collected such as length (FL), width (FW), circumference/girth (FC), number ridges (FR) from...
