Using Resistin, glucose, age and BMI to predict the presence of breast cancer

BMC Cancer, 2018
The goal of this exploratory study was to develop and assess a prediction model which can potentially be used as a biomarker of breast cancer, based on anthropometric data and parameters which can be gathered in routine blood analysis.

Advantages and Limitations of the Body Mass Index (BMI) to Assess Adult Obesity

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Obesity reflects excessive fat deposits. At-risk individuals are guided by healthcare professionals to eat fewer calories and exercise more, often using body mass index (BMI; weight/height2) thresholds for screening and to guide progress and prognosis ...

The transition to Post-industrial BMI values among US children [PDF]

, 2008
Background: The trend in the BMI values of US children has not been estimated very convincingly because of the absence of longitudinal data. Our object is to estimate time series of BMI values by birth cohorts instead of measurement years.

Using genetics to understand the causal influence of higher BMI on depression

International Journal of Epidemiology, 2018
Background Depression is more common in obese than non-obese individuals, especially in women, but the causal relationship between obesity and depression is complex and uncertain. Previous studies have used genetic variants associated with BMI to provide

Bandwidth Enhancement and Generation of CP by Using Parasitic Patch on Rectangular DRA for Wireless Applications

IEEE Access, 2019
A wideband circularly polarized rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) fed by single feeding mechanism has been studied theoretically and experimentally. The study has been carried out to find out the effect on different antenna parameters when a

The role of extracellular matrix on unfavorable maternal–fetal interface: focusing on the function of collagen in human fertility

Journal of Leather Science and Engineering, 2022
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is characterized as widespread, abundant, and pluripotent. Among ECM members, collagen is widely accepted as one of the most prominent components for its essential structural property that can provide a scaffold for other ...

Waist-to-height ratio as an indicator of ‘early health risk’: simpler and more predictive than using a ‘matrix’ based on BMI and waist circumference

BMJ Open, 2016
Objectives There is now good evidence that central obesity carries more health risks compared with total obesity assessed by body mass index (BMI). It has therefore been suggested that waist circumference (WC), a proxy for central obesity, should be ...
