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 ...

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 ...
