Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

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

Association between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and multimorbidity: Evidence from NHANES and prospective validation in CHARLS

Experimental Gerontology
Background: The burden of chronic diseases is known to be significantly increased by obesity, yet conventional measures like waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) do not accurately capture central adiposity.

Obesity, metabolic syndrome and risk of atrial fibrillation: a Swedish, prospective cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2015
AimWe aimed to investigate whether different measures of obesity could similarly predict atrial fibrillation, and whether the atrial fibrillation risk associated with obesity is dependent on presence of metabolic syndrome.Material and methodsWe performed

The impact of confounding on the associations of different adiposity measures with the incidence of cardiovascular disease: a cohort study of 296 535 adults of white European descent [PDF]

Aims: The data regarding the associations of body mass index (BMI) with cardiovascular (CVD) risk, especially for those at the low categories of BMI, are conflicting. The aim of our study was to examine the associations of body composition (assessed by

The CUN-BAE, Deurenberg Fat Mass, and visceral adiposity index as confident anthropometric indices for early detection of metabolic syndrome components in adults

Scientific Reports, 2022
There is no definition for the metabolic syndrome; visceral obesity, elevated lipids and glucose, and hypertension coexist. The aim of the study is to determine which anthropometric indicators best determine it.
