the present survey is a correlation study designed to determine extent and type of relation between mid-arm   circumference and weight in order to offer a scale for assumption of weight.   390 healthy, adults who are resident in tehran and between the ages 18-65 were selected from visitors at three   hospital censers at random. input accumulation was carried out by means of a questionnaire and ...

the objective followed in the present study was to survey the relationship between 18 body trait measurements (live weight, height at wither, paunch girth, neck diameter, body length, girth around the body, width of fat tail at above, below and midpoint of fat tail, fat tail length lowers right and left sides, fat tail gap length, fat tail depth at the above, below, and midpoint, and girth arou...

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that the waist circumference of children and adolescents has increased over the last 25 years. However, given the strong correlation between waist circumference and BMI, it is uncertain if the secular trends in waist circumference are independent of those in BMI. METHODS We analyzed data from 6- to 19-year-olds who participated in the 1988-1994 through 20...

BACKGROUND Central adiposity is related to chronic disease risk in adolescents. Racial differences in waist circumference have been identified using cross-sectional data from this age group. We tested for racial differences in age-related growth in waist circumference in a longitudinal cohort of black and white adolescent girls. METHODS We analyzed 9 years of publicly available data from the ...

It has been shown elsewhere (llhingworth, 1939; 1950; Illingworth, Harvey, and Gin, 1949) that the weight of a child at birth bears an important relationship to his subsequent weight and height. The aim of this study is to determine whether children with different birth weights differ in all the standard body dimensions, namely weight, pelvic and calf girth, chest circumference, nding and sitti...

This study investigates the survival and growth characteristics of Bafra lambs born reared under steppe climate conditions. The survival, certain body measurements 179 head were observed. Least Squares Method was applied for analysis measurements, Chi square test used rates. rates on days 30 90 96.65% 90.50%, respectively. Birth type sex had no significant effect (P>0.05). live weights b...

Healthy non smoking male subjects (n=150) aged 18-40 years were subjected to pulmonary function testing to establish linear multiple regression model. Pulmonary parameters were considered as independent variables and physical parameters (age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) and anthropometric parameters (skin fold thickness (SFT), mid arm circumference and abdo...

AIM In the present study, biometric traits (body length [BL], heart girth [HG], paunch girth (PG), forelimb length (FLL), hind limb length (HLL), face length, forehead width, forehead length, height at hump, hump length (HL), hook to hook distance, pin to pin distance, tail length (TL), TL up to switch, horn length, horn circumference, and ear length were studied in 218 adult hill cattle of Him...

　Introduction: Sexual dimorphisms in biological structures such as brain and behaviour have been widely recognized in animals and humans. The purpose of this study was to examine whether there are sex differences in the size of the cerebellum with other body traits, such as the head, tail and brain. Methods: Twelve grasscutters comprising of 6 males and 6 females were used in this study. Each b...
