Association of Body Mass Index with Asthma Severity and Pulmonary Function among Asthmatic Children
Background Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease in respiratory system and obesity is another inflammatory disease which incidence rate is increasing. Although, many studies have been conducted on severity of asthma and its relationship with obesity, but different results have been obtained. This study aimed to determine a relationship between asthma severity, Body Mass Index (BMI) and pulmo...
متن کاملEvaluation of a combined index of optic nerve structure and function for glaucoma diagnosis
BACKGROUND The definitive diagnosis of glaucoma is currently based on congruent damage to both optic nerve structure and function. Given widespread quantitative assessment of both structure (imaging) and function (automated perimetry) in glaucoma, it should be possible to combine these quantitative data to diagnose disease. We have therefore defined and tested a new approach to glaucoma diagnos...
متن کاملStrategies for improving early detection of glaucoma: the combined structure–function index
The early detection of glaucoma is important in order to enable appropriate monitoring and treatment, and to minimize the risk of irreversible visual field loss. Although advances in ocular imaging offer the potential for earlier diagnosis, the best method is likely to involve a combination of information from structural and functional tests. Recent studies have shown it is possible to estimate...
متن کاملAssociation between Thyroid Function and Body Mass Index in Tehran Thyroid Study Population
Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is alarmingly rising around the world. With the increasing prevalence of obesity, study of thyroid disorders, caused by an abnormal increase in the body mass index (BMI), is becoming more and more important. This study aimed to evaluate the association between increased BMI and thyroid hormones among Iranians participating in the Tehran Thy...
متن کاملChoice of statistical method influences apparent association between structure and function in glaucoma.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to explore how different statistical methods may lead to inconsistent inferences about the association between structure and function in glaucoma. METHODS Two datasets from published studies were selected for their illustrative value. The first consisted of measurements of neuroretinal rim area in the superior-temporal sector paired with the corresponding vis...
