Background: For older groups, being overweight [body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2): 25 to <30] is reportedly associated with a lower or similar risk of mortality than being normal weight (BMI: 18.5 to <25). However, this "risk paradox" is partly explained by smoking and disease-associated weight loss. This paradox may also arise from BMI failing to measure fat redistribution to a centralized posit...
متن کاملGender differences in the association between adiposity and probable major depression: a cross-sectional study of 140,564 UK Biobank participants

We examined the association between probable major depression and several measurements of adiposity: BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), and body fat percentage (BF%). METHODS We conducted a c...

متن کاملEthnic-specific obesity cutoffs for diabetes risk: cross-sectional study of 490,288 UK biobank participants.
OBJECTIVE To compare the relationship between adiposity and prevalent diabetes across ethnic groups in the UK Biobank cohort and to derive ethnic-specific obesity cutoffs that equate to those developed in white populations in terms of diabetes prevalence. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS UK Biobank recruited 502,682 U.K. residents aged 40-69 years. We used baseline data on the 490,288 participants...
