Mid-arm muscle circumference as a substantial factor against mortality among people with elevated gamma gaps
Gamma gap is the difference in total serum proteins and albumin and an elevated gamma gap is related to infections, malignancy, and rheumatic diseases. An elevated gamma gap is also associated with higher mortality due to the correlation with inflammatory status. The study aimed to utilize mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) to assist in predicting all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and car...

متن کاملMid-arm muscle circumference as a surrogate in predicting insulin resistance in non-obese elderly individuals
The homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was used to measure the degree of insulin resistance (IR). Previous literature revealed that mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) is one of the anthropometric indicators for nutritional status and the relationship between MAMC and HOMA-IR remains uncertain in the obese and non-obese elderly individuals. The present study included 5...
متن کاملMid-upper-arm circumference as a screening measure for identifying children with elevated body mass index: a study for Pakistan
Purpose Mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) is considered an alternative screening method for obesity. The aims of this investigation were to examine the ability of MUAC to correctly identify children with elevated body mass index (BMI) and to determine the best MUAC cutoff point for identification of children with high BMI. Methods Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, and MUAC) from a...
متن کاملMid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head circumference ratio in term newborns.

However, there are few Brazilian studies on the relationship between mid-arm and head circumferences and, thus, this does not form part of the routine evaluation for newborns. OBJECTIVES To establish the mid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head...
