[Waist-to-height ratio as a coronary risk predictor among adults].
Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2006 This study proposes to identify the sensibility, specificity and the best cut-off point for waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as a predictor of coronary high risk (CHR).A cross-sectional study was applied to a population comprised of 968 adults between 30 and 74 years of age, of which 391 (40.4%) were male.

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims The burden of chronic liver disease (CLD) is increasing. This study aims to identify protein markers for CLD and its progression, and develop a protein‐based risk prediction model. Materials and Methods We used proteome‐wide Mendelian randomization (MR), Bayesian colocalization and summary‐data‐based MR with proteomic data from deCODE ...

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims South Asians exhibit an unfavourable metabolic phenotype characterized by visceral obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. While various hormones play a critical role in regulating postprandial energy metabolism, it remains unclear whether they respond differently to food intake.

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims The revised Lancet Commission framework prioritizes excess adiposity over body mass index (BMI) alone for diagnosing obesity, emphasizing population‐specific body fat assessments. However, body fat percentage (BFP) thresholds reflecting adiposity‐defined obesity remain limited, particularly by sex and age in Asian populations.

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide, with excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT) being identified as an independent indicator of poor cardiovascular outcomes. We examined the association between three indices of VAT, namely, metabolic score for visceral fat (METS‐VF), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and ...

Waist to height ratio: a simple screening tool for nonalcoholic fatty
, 2016 Simple predictors are needed for the screening of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese children. We aimed to assess the role of anthropometric parameters in the prediction of NAFLD. Three hundred and thirty two obese children (152 male, 180 female) aged 4.6-17.0 years were included in this study.

Hyperaldosteronism in the Pathophysiology and Management of Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) syndrome is defined by the pathologic interconnections between obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. An important and underrecognized pathophysiologic factor underlying CKM syndrome is obesity‐induced aldosterone excess.
