BACKGROUND A high waist-to-hip ratio is associated with unfavorable cardiovascular disease risk factors. This could be due to either a relatively large waist or a small hip girth. OBJECTIVE We sought to define the separate contributions of waist girth, hip girth, and body mass index (BMI) to measures of body composition, fat distribution, and cardiovascular disease risk factors. DESIGN Thre...
This study describes sex differences in obesity and body fat distribution using commonly used assessment methods in 140 men and 245 women age 65-96 years from Rancho Bernardo, California. Significant correlations were shown among all obesity measures. The waist/hip ratio was more strongly correlated with the truncal fat/leg fat ratio in women than in men. The waist/hip ratio correlated signific...
Relationships among lipids, hormones and anthropometric indices of patients in a reproductive endocrinology outpatient clinic were investigated. Subjects were divided into 2 groups according to their hirsutism score (Hirsute score>=8, N=102 And non-hirsute score<8, N=83). Weight (Wt), height (Ht), waist (W) and hip (H) circumferences were measured in all women and serum levels of lipids, hormon...
Results: Mean age of participants was 74.96 ± 5.603 years. Mean waist circumference in whole sample measured 96.78 ± 16.85, mean hip circumference was 106.31 ± 19.24, mean waist hip ratio measured 0.91 ± 0.09 and mean body mass index was 27.83 ± 9.8. All of waist circumference, waist hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, renal disease were ...
BACKGROUND Body size has been hypothesized to influence the risk of prostate cancer; however, most epidemiologic studies have relied on body mass index (BMI) to assess adiposity, whereas only a few studies have examined whether body fat distribution predicts prostate cancer. METHODS We examined the association of height, BMI, waist and hip circumference, and waist-hip ratio with prostate canc...

All rights reserved. procedures in the urology/andrology clinics of five training hospitals in China. Results: One hundred and seventy-six patients were excluded, other patients (n=3,151) with duration of ED between 0.5 year and 20 years were enrolled. The causes of ED was found be psychog...
The aim of this study of Asian Indian migrants in New Zealand was to determine cut-off points for body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist-to-height ratio that best discriminate for increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. One hundred and seventy-five (90F, 85M) Asian Indian volunteers (aged >50 y) were recruited from urban Auckland, New Zealand. ...
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to examine (1) whether health habits are associated with body fat distribution, as measured by the waist/hip girth ratio, and (2) to what extent environmental factors, including anthropometric characteristics, explain the variability in levels of cardiovascular risk factors. DESIGN The study was a population based cross sectional survey, conducted in the spring of ...
Background: It is believed that overweight and obesity are involved in the etiology of menstrual problems by changing the balance of steroid hormones and sex hormone binding globins. This study examined the association between anthropometric indices with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and its severity in female students. Methods: This cross-sectional study involving 365 women living i...
Obesity is a rapidly growing global problem. It is not simply the result of eating too much, and not all types of obesity have the same significance. Obesity is in part genetic, and one particularly important genetic type of obesity is the tendency to 'truncal obesity',-that is, a raised waist-to-hip ratio. Such obesity is powerfully associated not only with a tendency to diabetes, but also to ...
