Reliability of anthropometric indicators for assessing abdominal obesity

Discover Public Health
The rising burden of abdominal obesity (AO) has emerged as a significant global public health concern. Three commonly used measures for assessing AO are waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).

Relationship between anterometric indices and plasma atherogenic index and some other cardiovascular risk factors in working women [PDF]

Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān
Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in the world is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Since the most appropriate anthropometric indicators determining obesity to estimate CVD, especially in women, are not well known, the ...

CausalCellInfer: Prioritizing Cell‐Type‐Specific Disease Associations From Genetically Predicted Transcriptomes in Biobank Cohorts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bulk and genotype‐imputed transcriptomes obscure the cellular drivers of complex disease. CausalCellInfer resolves them by integrating invariant marker selection, deep learning deconvolution, and regularized matrix completion. Applied to ∼500 000 UK Biobank participants across 29 traits, it uncovers hallmark cell‐type proportion shifts, including ...

Structural Variants in the Human Genome Associated With Gut Microbiome and Blood Metabolic Traits With Potential Causal Links

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on a multi‐omics cohort of 2002 individuals comprising high‐depth whole‐genome and metagenomic sequencing data, blood metabolites, and detailed questionnaires, we identified 138 859 high‐confidence SVs, uncovering 36 significant SV–microbiome associations and 48 SV–blood metabolite associations.

An Active Knee–Ankle–Foot Orthosis With Torque‐Dense, Low‐Impedance Knee Actuation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the simulation, design, and clinical validation of a robotic active KAFO with torque‐sensitive actuation. By passively and continuously adapting the transmission ratio in response to the knee torque, the torque‐sensitive actuator overcomes the tradeoff between torque, weight, and impedance observed in conventional robot actuators,

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.

Waist-To-Height Ratio Is a More Accurate Tool for Predicting Hypertension Than Waist-To-Hip Circumference and BMI in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Study

Frontiers in Public Health, 2021
Background: Anthropometric measures [i.e., body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)] have been used as prediction factors for incident hypertension. However, whether any of these measures is superior to another in

How Has the Health of the United States Population Changed? Evidence From Biomarkers

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Population health is a central input into social welfare, but health itself is complex and multidimensional. Mapping multiple dimensions of health into a single population health index may require strong assumptions about how to aggregate and weight across dimensions.
