Genetic Predisposition of Both Waist Circumference and Hip Circumference Increased the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism. [PDF]
Thromb Haemost, 2023 Background Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is an independent indicator of increased cardiovascular risk. Observational studies have shown an observational association between obesity and venous thromboembolism (VTE). As a type of VTE, pulmonary embolism (PE) is also associated with obesity.

Relationship of Peak Expiratory Flow Rate with Waist Circumference, Hip Circumference, and Waist-to-Hip Ratio in Young Adults [PDF]
Annals of the National Academy of Medical Sciences (India), 2020 Abstract Introduction It has been observed that respiratory problems and the consequent pulmonary dysfunction are associated with an increase in waist circumference (WC), a measure of obesity. Both comorbidities result in changes in the overall health, quality of life, and life span.

Relations of Pulse Wave Velocity to Waist Circumference Independent of Hip Circumference [PDF]
Epidemiology and Health, 2010 Little is known about the effect of waist circumference (WC) on brachial artery pulse wave velocity (baPWV) independent of hip circumference (HC). Therefore, this study aimed to dissociate specific effect of WC on baPWV independent of HC.Of 1,053 rural residents (2004-2005), 777 subjects with no known history of coronary artery diseases or diabetes ...

Segregation analysis of waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio in the Korean Nationwide Family Study [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity, 2002 A central distribution of adipose tissue is frequently associated with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors. In this study, we investigated environmental, familial and genetic influences on waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in 2507 members of 435 families who had participated in the Korean Nationwide ...

The Body Adiposity Index (Hip Circumference ÷ Height1.5) Is Not a More Accurate Measure of Adiposity Than Is BMI, Waist Circumference, or Hip Circumference [PDF]
Obesity, 2012 Based on cross‐sectional analyses, it was suggested that hip circumference divided by height1.5 −18 (the body adiposity index (BAI)), could directly estimate percent body fat without the need for further correction for sex or age. We compared the prediction of percent body fat, as assessed by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (PBFDXA), by BAI, BMI, and ...
