Association between waist-to-height ratio and postpartum urinary incontinence
International Urogynecology Journal, 2016Obesity is an established and variable risk factor for postpartum urinary incontinence. However, the available anthropometric measurements are not comprehensive. We hypothesized that waist-to-height ratio (WHTR), which is a good indicator of abdominal adiposity, would be associated with postpartum urinary incontinence.For this cross-sectional study, we

Waist-to-Height Ratio as a Predictor of C-Reactive Protein Levels
Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2017C-reactive protein is an acute-phase protein that has been found in association with adiposity and cardiovascular disease risk. In this paper, the objective was to assess the relationship of C-reactive protein to four anthropometric measurements: body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, C index, and waist circumference.A cross-sectional random sample of

Classification of Impaired Waist to Height Ratio Using Machine Learning Technique
2020Metabolic dysfunctions are a set of metabolic risk factors that include abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, among others. Individuals with any of these metabolic dysfunctions are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Several parameters and anthropometric indices are used to detect metabolic dysfunctions,

Waist‐to‐height ratio is the best indicator for undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes
Diabetic Medicine, 2013AbstractAimsEarly detection of diabetes is important for the prevention of diabetic complications. The best adiposity index for indicating Type 2 diabetes mellitus remains unclear. We aimed to identify the optimal adiposity measure among BMI, waist circumference, waist–hip ratio and waist‐to‐height ratio to indicate undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes and ...
