Criteria of obesity in the Chinese population with multiple metabolic risk factors remains unclear. The objective was to determine the best anthropometrical measurements with regard to the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to propose optimal cut-off values. Between April and August, 2007, 3,704 men and 6,392 women aged 18-85 years were recruited from four community centers. Medical examinations inc...
BACKGROUND Human and animal studies support the role of MC4R and MC3R in human obesity, but limited data are available on the genetic contribution to obesity in South African populations. OBJECTIVE To screen obese-overweight South African pupils for MC3R and MC4R polymorphisms that may play a role in the development of obesity. DESIGN A cross-sectional study screened 227 obese-overweight (1...
Introduction & Objective: Obesity (a scaled weight-by-height index) charts of a cohort of 317 healthy infants and their parents living in Shiraz (Southern Iran) are presented. Materials & Methods: An adjusted weight-for-height was used to develop power type obesity indices, Ip=W/Hp. Polynomial modelling was used by applying the HRY (Healy, Rasbash, Yang) nonparametric method to estimate age-...
Background: The sensitivity and specificity of body mass index (BMI) percentiles of CDC2000 standard which is used in determining obesity in Iranian children was compared with child real obesity identified by fat mass index (FMI) and obesity status in these children based on BMI and FMI was compared too. Methods: Weight, height and triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness were measured in 1800 primary ...
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Although clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that OSA and obesity are strongly associated, few Asian studies have examined the associations between anthropometric obesity indices and OSA, especially in the Korean population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of anthr...
BACKGROUND Central obesity is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Preventive interventions from childhood are necessary due to the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR) and waist to height ratio (WSR) are anthropometric indices for measurement of obesity. This study aimed to assess the associ...
Background & objectives: Today, accurate measurement of physical activity volume and assessment of physical fitness is necessary to promote community health. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of obesity and its relationship with physical fitness indices of Mashhad offices employees. Methods: A total of 3737 subjects aged 20 to 60 years (2559 men and 1178 women) we...
background: obesity is an important and life-threatening disease, associated with different chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. we sought to address the paucity of information on the trends of anthropometric indices such as weight, waist circumference, and body mass index in the adult population of iran. methods: we drew upon data from the first non-co...
background obesity is a risk factor that has been associated scientifically with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cancer and other life threatening diseases. the results of some studies have also shown that obesity is an independent risk factor for the development and progression of renal damage. objectives the aim of the current study is to define which general and central obesity anthr...
