Cut-off points for anthropometric indices of adiposity: differential classification in a large population of young women

, 2009
Anthropometric indices of adiposity include BMI, waist circumference and waist:height ratio. In the recruitment phase of a prospective cohort study carried out between 1998 and 2002 we studied a population sample of 11 786 white Caucasian non-pregnant ...

Efficient Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Waveguide Polarizing Splitters for High‐Sensitivity Chip‐Scale Atomic Magnetometry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated polarimetry architecture based on a cholesteric liquid crystal waveguide polarization splitter overcomes the volumetric bottleneck in chip‐scale atomic magnetometers. By leveraging Bragg‐selective reflection and total‐internal‐reflection‐induced helicity inversion, this ultrathin device enables efficient circular polarization splitting ...

Anthropometric indicators and cardiovascular diseases risk in pre-diabetic and diabetic adults: NHANES 1999–2018 cross-sectional analysis

Experimental Gerontology
Background: Since cardiovascular disease (CVD) stands as the primary cause of death in those with diabetes, and given the substantial influence of obesity as a common risk factor for both diabetes and atherosclerotic conditions, this investigation sought

Twin‐Lever Multifunctional Meta‐Optics With High Longitudinal Tolerance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a single‐layer, CMOS‐compatible metasurface that allows for polarization‐programmable, achromatic broadband dual‐mode imaging with high longitudinal tolerance. The twin‐lever design combines bright‐field focusing and vortex‐based edge‐enhanced imaging while managing axial intensity distribution from 488 to 633 nm.

Association between weight-adjusted-waist index and risk of cardiovascular diseases in United States adults: a cross-sectional study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background As a new obesity-related index, the weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) appears to be a good predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in East Asian populations.

Towards a Compositional Framework for Describing Human Phenotypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Phenotype Assembly Method (PhenoAM) decomposes phenotype variables into measurable Features and typed Qualifiers, enabling standardized, machine‐readable Phenome Data Elements (PhenoDEs) that preserve measurement context. Applied in the International Human Phenome Project (IHPP), the framework yields 58 371 PhenoDEs and supports component‐level ...

Association between weight-adjusted-waist index and depression: a cross-sectional study

Endocrine Connections
Background: Depression has become a multifaceted global health issue, with complex connections to obesity. Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) can effectively evaluate central obesity, but the relationship between WWI and depression has not been well ...
