Nationally representative estimates were derived by using procedures for sample survey data in SAS (version 9.3; SAS Institute) to account for the complex, multistage probability designs of NHANES and KNHANES. Sample weights were used to adjust for noncoverage, nonresponse, and oversampling of some ...
Pygmy populations were the least wealthy in all surveys, but no pattern for anaemia levels versus BMI emerged. We argue that the declining or stagnant trajectory of Pygmy BMI over age is most concerning, since this sets them apart not only from all other ethnic groups in the region, but ...
For example, not everyone who has a BMI over 40 has diabetes. But many more people with BMIs over 40 have diabetes than people in the overweight or normal weight range. “A too-high or too-low BMI is not an ironclad guarantee that you will develop a chronic disease,” notes Dr. Hein...
Older people also tend to have more body fat (and less muscle) than younger people with the same BMI. There may even be health benefits for some over 70 year olds who fall into the ‘overweight’ range. Similarly, BMI does not work for all populations and ethnic groups. For example, ...
(young people within 45 years old, middle-aged people between 45 and 59 years old, and elderly people over 60 years old), and the BMI classification refers to the World Health Organization's recommended BMI classification standards for Asian people [low weight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), ...
Compared with people of a healthy weight, underweight people (BMI <20 kg/m2) had a 34% higher (95% CI 29–38) risk of dementia. Furthermore, the incidence of dementia continued to fall for every increasing BMI category, with very obese people (BMI >40 kg/m2) having a 29% lower (...
BMI is the most popular anthropometric indicator for measuring obesity among adults. Extant research has also used waist-circumference, hip circumference and waist-hip ratio as measures of central-obesity, which have systematic advantages over BMI18. A primary study covering the slums of the Indian ...
Clearly, unadjusted WC will penalize taller subjects (for obvious reasons i.e., taller people will have on average greater WC but not necessarily have any greater cardio-metabolic risk). In contrast, WHTR will penalize shorter individuals (the correlation between WHTR and height is negative, i....
"I saw this huge wave of people really emotionally responding to this very thing, so a lot of disgust and anger," Pisano said. That's because the obesity label is a tough one, she said. "It is an emotional one for a lot of people. And even those who have whether you've struggled...
