An elevated body-mass index (BMI) at age 17, even when in the range considered to be at the high end of normal, is strongly correlated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) by age 40 but has less influence in the development of midlife type 2 diabetes mellitus, ...
To determine the effect of sex and obesity on vascular function in children and explore potential mechanisms that account for differences in vascular function. Methods. Participants were 61 (30 boys) normal-weight (BMI 25???75% ile for age and sex) and 62 (30 boys) obese (BMI ??? 95%...
Main effect of BMI weight categories Responses were not the same for all weight categories (Fig.1B), participants performed significantly better for Normal than Underweight and Overweight, and worse for Obese weight. This is confirmed by a significant main effect of BMI weight category,F(3,168)...
Subjects were considered normal-weight or obese when their projected BMI value for the age of 18 y was lower than 25 kg/ m2 or between 30 and 35 kg/m2, respectively (34). Of the 117 origi- nally recruited boys, 23 were obese, representing a ratio 19.66% that approximates the ...

Transaminase levels in the HNR Study Cohort were within normal limits, but gradually increase with BMI. Mean ALT (16 ± 8.8 U/l) and mean AST (13 ± 4.6 U/l) remained both well below the common threshold for normal values (< 50 U/l for males; < 35...
BMI groups33. Another cross-sectional study of 89 elderly females analysing the influence of the BMI on lumbar and pelvic postures found that lumbopelvic postures appear to be unaffected by the BMI32, suggesting that the BMI may not influence lumbopelvic postures, regardless of age. The findings...
