This study assessed the anthropometric status of 451 hospitalised female patients aged 70 or over, at their admission to hospital, in reference to 77 healthy women of the same age. The most frequent diseases were circulatory diseases (40.8%), mental disorders (29.9%), respiratory diseases (12.4%), endocrine and metabolic diseases (11.5%), osteomuscular diseases (8.4%), and traumatisms (6.9%). T...

Objective-This report presents national anthropometric reference data for all ages of the U.S. population in 2007-2010, adding to results published previously from the years 1960-2006. Methods-Data are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a complex, stratified, and multistage probability sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population. Anthropometry me...

In this article a high resolution database of Head-Related Impulse Responses (HRIRs) and anthropometric parameters for 35 human subjects and two KEMAR manequins is introduced. The HRIRs were computed using Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) adaptive filtering. The NLMS method has no audible drawbacks compared to well-established HRIR estimation approaches (MLS and Exponetnial Sweep method) whi...

Developed anthropometric measurement systems for the foot are static. However, important changes occur in the 3D shape of the foot during walking. This study deals with computer vision techniques to obtain the 3D foot shape at different step moments during the gait cycle. The foot shape evolution is estimated by comparing the 3D reconstruction of the foot surface at different gait steps. This m...

The measurement of selected anthropometric, biochemical and immunological variables, and clinical judgment can be used to assess nutritional state. Nutritional assessment has three main aims: to define the type and severity of malnutrition; to identify high risk patients; to monitor the efficacy of nutritional support. The problems associated with the various methods to assess the nutritional s...

Obesity, along with other unhealthy living habits, nowadays represents one of the greatest risk factors for various diseases. This study was designed to define the most suitable anthropometric technique among body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and Body fat percent (BF) as indices of obesity in women living in Raipur City. The study was a cross-sectional design. A selected sample of 70...

OBJECTIVE Accidental decannulation is the most common and serious complication associated with tracheostomy in obese patients. We lack a simple way to choose appropriate-size tracheostomy tubes in this patient subset. Our purpose was to 1) establish the range of trachea-to-skin soft tissue thickness (TTSSTT) in obese patients and 2) determine which easily obtained anthropometric measurements ar...

A study by Gosney (2003) aimed to identify the number of prescriptions and consumption of nutritional supplements (sip feeds) over a 24-hour period on an elderly care ward. This included the measurement and collection of anthropometric and biochemical data of patients who did and did not receive sip feeds in order to compare the indication for their use and calculate the cost of wasted feed.

Introduction: Measurement of the diameter portal vein may be particularly important in detecting and evaluating patients with hypertension as well some other clinical disorders.This study is aimed at determining mean based on age, gender anthropometric variables. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional was performed a total 195 apparently healthy individuals overnight fasting normal ultrasonograph...
