BACKGROUND Studies about the relationship between high-molecular-weight adiponectin (HMW-adn) and anthropometric variables among population-based elementary schoolchildren have been too limited, especially in Japan, where blood collection is not usually performed in the annual health examination at elementary schools. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship betwee...

The paper presents the results of the population structure research on the inhabitants of the Island of Rab by the analysis of anthropometric, continuous characteristics (morphological variables of head and body) on the representative sample of 601 adult persons (aged 18-75 years) from the settlements Banjol, Barbat, Lopar, Rab and Supetarska Draga (Figure 1). The aim was to investigate the pos...

OBJECTIVE When the dimensional measurements of the students who spend most of their time at school are taken into consideration, inappropriate dimensions of school equipment may affect their body and psychological improvements negatively. Anthropometric measurements are necessary for designing the educational equipment of the children at school. It is emphasized that anthropometric measurements...

This study aimed to examine the familial aggregation of blood pressure with respect to anthropometric variables in an upper-middle class business community in Punjab, a northern state of India. The results were evaluated in a sample of 75 families, constituting 305 individual from three generations such as offspring, parental and grandparental. The data were analyzed through familial correlatio...

BACKGROUND Lipohypertrophy does not appear to be an adverse ART reaction while lipoatrophy is clearly associated with the use of stavudine (d4T) and zidovudine (AZT). In low and middle income countries d4T has only recently been phased out and AZT is still widely being used. Several case definitions have been developed to diagnose lipodystrophy, but none of them are generalizable to sub-Saharan...

the aim of the study was to develop a non-exercise vo2max predictive model using a physical activity (pa) variable determined by pedometer-determined step counts (sc: steps/day) in active lifestyle men aged between 40 and 65. for this purpose, 69 subjects were used to develop and validate the new model. vo2max was measured using rockport fitness walking test. anthropometric variables were measu...

OBJECTIVE Asian Indians have a high risk of developing glucose intolerance with small increments in their BMI. They generally have high upper-body adiposity, despite having a lean BMI. Therefore, this analysis was performed to find out the normal cutoff values for BMI and upper-body adiposity (waist circumference [WC] or waist-to-hip ratio [WHR]) by computing their risk associations with diabet...

Body fat is an important determinant of nutritional status and health. This paper aims to demonstrate the existence of significant correlations between areas, or volumes of fat and anthropometric variables.

The present investigation finds the relationship between selected Anthropometric variables and performance of university level Volleyball Players. For the purpose of the study, thirty (N=30) volleyball players were selected as subjects from the North Zone Inter-University Volleyball Tournament. The selected Anthropometric measurements were taken with the help of vernier calipers and lange’s ski...
