The main objective of this research is to establish a connection between orthodontic mini-implant design, pull-out force and primary stability by comparing two commercial mini-implants or temporary anchorage devices, Tomas®-pin Perfect Anchor. Mini-implant geometric analysis quantification bone characteristics are performed, whereupon experimental in vitro test conducted. With the use CATIA (Co...

Obesity and bronchial asthma (BA) are two major health concerns. These entities have been furtherestablished by several meta-analyses. Still, these analyses denote to ‘‘general-obesity’’, that classicallymeasured via body mass index (BMI), which is a broad measure unable distinguish between lean musclebulk fats. Thus, other indices, should applied like waist perimeter, waist/hip ratio, conicity...

Abstract Background The functional implications of left ventricular (LV) morphological characterization in congenital heart disease (CHD) are not widely explored. Purpose This study qualitatively and quantitatively assessed LV shape associations with a) function b) thoracic aortic morphology patients coarctation (CoA) with/without bicuspid valve (BAV). Methods A statistical modelling (SSM) fram...

Introduction: Given the relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) hypertension, an indicator of body fat, A Body Shape Index (ABSI), has been considered to have apparent predictive power for these diseases.
 Objective: To determine ABSI DMT2 hypertension in Peru through analysis Demographic Health Survey-2020 (ENDES-by its acronym Spanish-2020).
 Methods: Cross-...

Background: Dysfunction of body tissues due to excessive food consumption is often referred obesity. Excess storage visceral fat can develop insulin resistance. Insulin resistance associated with cardiovascular diseases. Anthropometric measurements illustrate the early risk The aim this study identify association between anthropometric indicators and resistance.Materials Methods: participants i...

Background: Several anthropometric measurements are used to assess cardiovascular risk and progress during clinical treatment. Most commonly include total body weight mass index (BMI), with several other simple measures typically underused in practice. Herein, we review the evidence on relationship between different patients without disease (CVD). Methods: Data for this were identified by searc...

Introduction: Many indices are available to evaluate adiposity. A new index, body adiposity index (BAIp) (expressed in % fat) for children [Hip circumference (cm)/ Height (m)0.8) – 38] has been developed (El Aarbaoui et al., 2013). The objective of the present study was to use the index in a sample of preschool children to understand the association between BAIp and other anthropometric charact...
