Patients with normal weight obesity (NWO) have a normal body mass index (BMI) but elevated body fat percentage (BF%), thereby increasing their risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. The purpose of this research was to determine the prevalence of NWO and its associated factors in a ...

The metabolic syndrome was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines. We present means and proportions, and multivariate odds ratios that quantify the association between metabolic syndrome and normal BMI quartiles, controlling for age, physical activity, smoking and education.The ...
Overall, females had a lower BMI than males (p < 0.001), but a higher percentage of body fat (p < 0.001). Additionally, a small proportion in males (17%) and females (22%) reported a positive family history of CVD. Most subjects were white Caucasian (77% females, 77% men...
Arthur Hartz, PhD, MD and Alfred Rimm, PhD| Case WesternReserve University School of Medicine The analysis of Sun et al[1] of Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) data showed that waist circumference (WC) was independent of body mass index (BMI) as a risk factor for mortality from all cause...
We examined 2 groups of atypical patients with IIH: those with a normal body mass index (BMI) and those at least 50 years of age. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of 407 consecutive adult patients with IIH with known BMI from 3 centers was undertaken. Demographics, associated factors,...
In the last three decades, the prevalence of general obesity defined by BMI and that of abdominal obesity defined by WC in Chinese adults were both suggested to have more than doubled11. In addition, the prevalence of central obesity (defined by WC) in people with normal weight has ...
shows a large follow-up study that found an even higher risk in people who were overweight or obese in their teenage years.1Researchers followed up 2.3 million Israeli adolescents (mean age 17.3 ± 0.4 years) for 40 years, looking at deaths in relation to baseline body mass index (BMI). ...
Regardless of where they lived, posters who asked "am I fat?" who had a BMI in the healthy range were more likely than other posters to subsequently post on health problems, but the proportions of such posters also declined greatly as county-level BMI increased. Our findings suggest that ...
Participants were excluded if they had a musculoskeletal abnormality, recent orthopedic injury, BMI >30, inner ear disorder, taking medication that may interact with pain pathways (including antidepressants), inability to stand barefoot for at least 30 minutes, or inability to give written consent in...
