The association between waist circumference, weight-adjusted waist index, waist-to-height ratio and waist divided by height0.5 and the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in patients with diabetes

open access: yesBMC Public Health
The waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist divided by height0.5(WHT.5R), and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) are four anthropometric indices evaluating obesity, but the association with cardiovascular diseases in diabetic population remain unclear.We extracted data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Separate and combined associations of body-mass index and abdominal adiposity with cardiovascular disease: collaborative analysis of 58 prospective studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: Guidelines differ about the value of assessment of adiposity measures for cardiovascular disease risk prediction when information is available for other risk factors. We studied the separate and combined associations of body-mass index (BMI),

Association between new obesity index, weight adjusted waist circumference index, and type 2 diabetes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries
Abstract Background Obesity is a well-established risk factor for T2DM, and various obesity-related indices have been developed to assess the relationship between obesity and the disease. Traditional indices such as body mass index (BMI) have certain limitations in accurately predicting the ...

Genome-Wide Association of Body Fat Distribution in African Ancestry Populations Suggests New Loci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Central obesity, measured by waist circumference (WC) or waist-hip ratio (WHR), is a marker of body fat distribution. Although obesity disproportionately affects minority populations, few studies have conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fat

Ixekizumab With Tirzepatide Achieved Greater Disease Control Than Ixekizumab Alone in Adults With Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity: Results From a Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Overweight or obesity is prevalent in 72% to 82% of individuals with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We assessed the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab (IXE) concomitantly administered with tirzepatide (TZP) compared with IXE alone in adult participants with active PsA and overweight with at least one weight‐related comorbidity or obesity.

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Adiposity, adipokines, and risk of incident stroke in older men [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<p>Background and Purpose—The association between adiposity and adipocytes and risk of stroke in older adults is uncertain. We have examined the association between adiposity measures and adipocytes (adiponectin and leptin) with incident stroke ...
