Association of BMI with adherence and outcome in heart failure patients treated with wearable cardioverter defibrillator

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1295-1303, April 2025.
Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

Racial differences in central adiposity in a longitudinal cohort of black and white adolescent females

BMC Pediatrics, 2010
Background Central adiposity is related to chronic disease risk in adolescents. Racial differences in waist circumference have been identified using cross-sectional data from this age group. We tested for racial differences in age-related growth in waist

The Depth‐Specific Effects of Acupuncture for Post‐Stroke Gastroparesis: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial of Deep Versus Superficial Needling

Gut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐stroke gastroparesis (GP) is a debilitating complication that severely impairs quality of life. Although abdominal acupuncture is widely used, robust evidence regarding its efficacy, particularly concerning the critical parameter of the needling depth, is still lacking.

Does endothelial dysfunction correlate better with waist-to-hip ratio than with body mass index or waist circumference among obese patients? [PDF]

Clinics, 2006
PURPOSE: Obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease, affecting large arteries and the microcirculation. Waist circumference and body mass index are routinely employed as measures for assessing obesity-related health risk, whereas waist-to-hip ...

Predicting waist circumference from body mass index [PDF]

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2012
Abstract Background Being overweight or obese increases risk for cardiometabolic disorders. Although both body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) measure the level of overweight and obesity, WC may be more important because of its closer relationship to total body fat.

Refining Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction: Average Sagittal Abdominal Diameter Complements and Enhances Body Mass Index With Sex‐Specific Insights From National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Our findings support the integration of ASAD alongside BMI in OA risk assessment, particularly in female populations, to address limitations of BMI‐centric models. Implementing our proposed approach could enable refined, sex‐, and age‐targeted preventive interventions.

Waist Circumference: An Important Marker for Hypertension

National Journal of Community Medicine, 2019
Introduction: High blood pressure indirectly identified through anthropometric indicators may be an efficient strategy for detection and control, mainly because these measures can be implemented without specialized technical apparatus.

Daily variability in waist circumference

Heart, 2010
To the Editor: A recent issue of Heart contained two articles concerning abdominal obesity.1 2 Both describe waist circumference as a proxy measure of central fat distribution, linked to atherothrombotic inflammatory abnormalities seen in the “metabolic syndrome”, associated with adverse cardiovascular events. This “vital sign in clinical cardiology”2

Progression of waist–hip circumference ratio in full-term symmetric and asymmetric small for gestational age infants

International Journal of Noncommunicable Diseases, 2018
Background: Children born as small for gestational age (SGA) tend to develop central adiposity and may have chances of developing metabolic syndrome. Waist–hip circumference ratio (WHR) is considered as a good indicator of central/truncal obesity.
