Traditional Anthropometric Parameters Still Predict Metabolic Disorders in Women With Severe Obesity

Serum Leptin and Ghrelin Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Correlation with Anthropometric,Metabolic, and Endocrine Parameters

The relationship between visfatin levels and anthropometric and metabolic parameters: association with cholesterol levels in women.

Adipose tissue has recently been identified as an endocrine organ. Visfatin is a novel adipocytokine predominantly secreted from visceral adipocytes. Visceral obesity is an important component of metabolic syndrome; however, the relationship between visfatin levels and metabolic syndrome is not clear. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between visfatin levels and anthropom...

The Effect of Self-Care Education Program on Anthropometric Indicators in Postmenopausal Women With Metabolic Syndrome

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a disorder associated with obesity. Compared with men, postmenopausal women are at higher risk of being affected by this chronic disease. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-care education program on anthropometric indicators in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was performed on 120 postme...

relationships of overweight and obesity with hormonal and metabolic parameters in hirsute women

obesity is the common clinical signs in hirsutism, which can cause metabolic disturbances like dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension. to investigate relationship of overweight and obesity with hormonal and metabolic parameters in suspected hirsute women, in a cross-sectional study, 184 suspected hirsute women were selected in a reproductive endocrinology outpatient clinic in north o...

Anthropometric parameters' cut-off points and predictive value for metabolic syndrome in women from Cartagena, Colombia.

Objective. To estimate anthropometric parameters' (APs) cut-off points and association for metabolic syndrome (MetS). Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a total of 434 adult women from Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in 2012. APs measured were waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), body adiposity index (BAI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-height ratio...
