Background: Premenopausal is a period that women will experience before heading to the menopause phase in age range of 4 5-55 years. In premenopausal it characterized by instability hormone estrogen which affect lipid metabolism closely related increase abdominal fat known as or central obesity . The results hormonal changes levels lipids body such TG and LDL-Chol blood. Purpose(s): This study ...

In high-stakes selection among candidates with considerable domain-specific knowledge and experience, investigations of whether high-fidelity simulations (assessment centers; ACs) have incremental validity over low-fidelity simulations (situational judgment tests; SJTs) are lacking. Therefore, this article integrates research on the validity of knowledge tests, low-fidelity simulations, and hig...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: nowadays obesity has become a universal problem. many studies have been done on obesity and abdominal adiposity. the aim of this study was to investigate the association between polyunsaturated fatty acid (pufa) intake, and obesity and abdominal adiposity in female students of isfahan university of medical scie...

Background: Obesity has been found to be associated with low grade inflammation characterized by increased levels of inflammatory cytokines. Various anthropometric measurements have shown complications obesity. Determining the most exact index overweight and obesity that best correlates markers will helpful for early prevention related disorders. Aim: To determine correlation between (hs-CRP TN...

background: obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic disorders including increase in blood pressure. body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc) and waist/hip ratio (whr) are simple and effective indicators of obe­sity. the objectives of this study were to examine the relationships between obesity anthropometric indicators and hy­pertension and to identify the best anthropometric ...

OBJECTIVE Up to 30% of obese individuals are metabolically healthy. Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals are characterized by having low abdominal adiposity, low inflammation level and low risk of developing metabolic comorbidity. In this study, we hypothesize that cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness) is a determinant factor for the MHO individuals and aim to investigate the association...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity varies across countries. However, less is known about the geographical, within-country variation. This study investigated and visualized the geographical differences in general obesity defined by body mass index (BMI) and in abdominal obesity defined by waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in Finland. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Data for the study con...

BACKGROUND Non-human primates are valuable models for the study of insulin resistance and human obesity. In baboons, insulin sensitivity levels can be evaluated directly with the euglycemic clamp and is highly predicted by adiposity, metabolic markers of obesity and impaired glucose metabolism (i.e. percent body fat by DXA and HbA1c). However, a simple method to screen and identify obese insuli...

OBJECTIVE Abdominal visceral adiposity is related to risks for insulin resistance and metabolic perturbations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography are advanced instruments that quantify abdominal adiposity; yet field use is constrained by their bulkiness and costliness. The purpose of this study is to develop prediction equations for total abdominal, subcutaneous, and visce...

OBJECTIVE To estimate frequencies of metabolic risk phenotypes and their associations in body mass index and waist circumference-based obesity categories. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted at Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from August 2014 to March 2016. Anthropometric and clinical data of young adults was collected. All subjects were catego...
