We tested the hypothesis that body mass index (BMI) aged 20 years modifies the association of adult weight gain and breast cancer risk. Methods We recruited women (aged 47–73 years) into the PROCAS (Predicting Risk Of Cancer At Screening; Manchester, UK: 2009–2013) Study. In 47,042 wo...

This study aims to investigate the association between trajectories of the cognition and body mass index (BMI) among Chinese middle and old-aged adults. A total of 5693 adults (age 45 +) whose cognitive score is higher than average at the baseline were included from China Health and ...
The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body fatness could differ according to age, sex, and race-ethnicity. We aimed to evaluate in which contexts BMI could be a good measure for body fatness compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
Body mass index (BMI): Generally measured for individuals more than five years of age, and expressed as their weight/height (kg/m2). The normal range for BMI is 18.5–24.99. Below 18.5 the individual is considered thin. Above 24.99 the individual is considered as overweight. A person with...
As more people live more of their lives obese, it is unclear what impact this will have on muscle mass, strength, and quality. We aimed to examine the associations of body mass index (BMI) from age 15 years onwards with low muscle mass, strength, and quality in early old age.A total...
In 1229 subjects, 521 males and 708 females, with a wide range in body mass index (BMI; 13.9–40.9 kg/m2), and an age range of 7–83 years, body composition was determined by densitometry and anthropometry. The relationship between densitometrically-determined body fat percentage (BF%) and...
This statistic illustrates the distribution of Body-Mass-Index among Italian children and teenagers in 2016, broken down by age group.
To study the ability of a widely used isometric back endurance test to measure lumbar back erector muscle fatigue and to assess the influence of age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) on back and hip extensor muscle fatigability (EMG spectral indices). Cross-sectional study of men and women ...
We confirmed incident diagnoses of MM in 205 men (HPFS) and 370 women (325 NHS, 45 WHS). Participants were of similar average age in all three cohorts and were predominantly White (Table1). Mean BMI ranged from 23.8–25.8 kg/m2at baseline, and from 21.3–23.0 kg/m2in young...
