OBJECTIVE A recent, cross-sectional analysis of adults found that the hip circumference divided by height(1.5) minus 18 (the body adiposity index, BAI) was strongly correlated (r = 0.79) with percent body fat determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The BAI was proposed as a more accurate index of body fatness than BMI. We examined whether BAI was more strongly related, than was BMI and ...

OBJECTIVE The association between rarely used anthropometric measurements (e.g., mid-upper arm, forearm, and calf circumference) and metabolic syndrome has not been proven. The aim of this study was to assess whether mid-upper arm, forearm, calf, and waist circumferences, as well as waist/height ratio and waist-to-hip ratio, were associated with metabolic syndrome. METHODS We enrolled 387 sub...

Introduction: Head circumference (HC) measurement is one of the important parameter for diagnosis of neurological, developmental disorders and dysmorphic syndromes. Recognition of different disorders requires an understanding of normal variation for HC size, in particular, in infancy period with most rapid growth of the brain. Because of international and interracial standard chart differences ...

When a tree, at a point where the circumference is Co, divides into two branches (cl and ct), what relationship exists between co and cl + c~? In order to answer this question, which has a definite bearing on problems of tree form, it is convenient to investigate first the relationship between the circumference at some point and the weight, w, of all the parts of the tree peripheral to this poi...

background: obesity is an important and life-threatening disease, associated with different chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. we sought to address the paucity of information on the trends of anthropometric indices such as weight, waist circumference, and body mass index in the adult population of iran. methods: we drew upon data from the first non-co...

The aim of the study was to assess the lipid atherogenic risk in women with metabolic syndrome (MS) based on calculating the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) {(logTriglycerides)/HDL-cholesterol}, Castelli's I and II risk indexes (the ratios total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol, respectively) and the leptin/adiponectin ratio (L/A ratio). Materials and methods: T...

Aim: To report the author’s experience in augmentation phalloplasty by studying a retrospective series of patients who underwent fat grafting for girth enhancement or a composite technique based on suspensory ligament release plus fat grafting performed simultaneously. Methods: The author analyzed retrospectively the outcomes of 275 augmentation phalloplasty procedures performed in 259 patients...

The present study investigated basic statistics for biometric traits as well as non-genetic factors that may affect these traits in the Moghani breed of sheep. The data-set was computed by using biometric records of the Moghani sheep breeding and raising station over a period of 15 years (1996 to 2012). Year of birth, month of birth, birth type and lamb's sex and dam permanent environment were ...

for detection of mild to moderate degrees of malnutrition, mid- arm-head circumference ratio of 458 of low income children of isfahan were studied. the percentage bf children with a mid-arm-head circumference ratio of above 0.310, between 0.310 and 0.280, between 0.279 and 0.250, and less than 0.250 were 31.00, 51.75, 15.28 and 1.97 respectively. a significant correlation was found between the ...
