Objective The Target this work was investigate link Methodology 123 patient .Electrocardiogram (ECG), pad measured us...

BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation is thought to play a crucial role in the generation of atherosclerotic lesions of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). METHODS The case-control study contained 120 subjects divided in two groups, 60 patients with AMI and equal number of age- and sex-matched healthy subjects as controls. Ratio of Waist Circum...

background: obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic disorders including increase in blood pressure. body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc) and waist/hip ratio (whr) are simple and effective indicators of obe­sity. the objectives of this study were to examine the relationships between obesity anthropometric indicators and hy­pertension and to identify the best anthropometric ...

INTRODUCTION Body weight measurement is of critical importance when evaluating the nutritional status of patients entering a hospital. In some situations, such as the case of patients who are bedridden or in wheelchairs, these measurements cannot be obtained using standardized methods. We have designed and validated a formula for predicting body weight. OBJECTIVES To design and validate a for...

Background: Obesity has been correlated with certain sociodemographic and health variables of patients coronary artery diseases (CADs). There are seven traditional obesity parameters, which have used to measure (body mass index [BMI], waist-to-height ratio [WHtR], waist-hip [WHR], body adiposity [BAI], shape [BSI], waist circumference [WC], hip [HC]). This study aimed describe the differences i...

When waist circumference is taken into account, larger hip circumference is associated with reduced risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The authors investigated the prospective association of hip circumference with type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence in a biracial cohort of men and women in 4 US communities. A total of 10,767 participants from the Athero...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION To investigate the clinical and anthropometrical parameters that are associated with non-exercise activity thermogenesis that is composed of basal energy expenditure (BEE) and diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) in patients with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance, and BEE and DIT were measured using indirect calorimetry i...

background: obesity is one of the known risk factors of diabetes. nowadays in parallel with industrialization of societies, changes in lifestyle and diet habits and also decreased physical activity, the prevalence of obesity is increasing. the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of change in body weight on blood glucose disorders rate after 3 years of tehran lipid and glucose stud...
