BMI Provides a Measurement Tool. BMI (Body Mass Index) charts provide a healthy weight range for an individual based on height, according to University of Maryland Medical Center. BMI, a number determined from your height and weight, is considered healthy if it ranges from 18.5 to 25. For i...
For females, but not men, mean LV and RVEF significantly increased with age (p < 0.001). Conclusion Using anatomically correct contouring methodology, we provide accurate sex and age-specific normal reference values for CMR parameters derived from the largest, multi-ethnic population free of ...
Adults aged 60 and older at risk of osteoarthritis (N = 2,210; mean age 68, range 67.1-69.0) were grouped according to BMI (normal 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2) , overweight 25.0-29.9 kg/m(2) , obese ≥30.0 kg/m(2) ). High waist circumference (WC) was defined as greater than 88 cm ...
First, normal body weight in youths has a wide range from the 5th to the 85th percentiles of BMI for age,16-18 and, to our knowledge, no data exist to assess the health risk associated with low or high normal body weight. Second, data are lacking to differentiate between the risk of...
In contrast to the abundant evidence on associations between TSH concentration and reproductive function, the evidence on the impact of fT4 concentration on reproductive function is limited, especially on the impact of a normal-range fT4 concentration. However, after controlling for TSH concentrations wi...
A BMI between 20 and 25kg/m2 is within the healthy range and a BMI in excess of 30 is classified as obese. BMI measures only excess weight and not fatness in itself. Individuals with a particularly well developed musculature will be classified as over weight, yet they are not overweight ...
Antioxidation and GH in obesity and puberty Articles to confirm this, studies of a wider age-range population, span- ning over all stages of puberty, should be undertaken (14,15). The suggested maturation of antioxidation mechanisms along 5.0 a 4.0 3.0 2.0 b* 5.0 4.0 *† 3.0 † 2.0...
Here, for the first time, we provide comprehensive morphological analysis of a large cohort of normal hearts over a range of ages. The are striking differences between the male and female hearts. Whilst it is well recognized that the male heart is heavier than the female heart (de [8], [...
Knowledge of the range of normal structure and function is required to interpret abnormal cardiac conditions. Thus, the aim of this review is to provide reference intervals (“normal values”) for morphological and functional CMR parameters of the cardiovascular system based on a systematic review of...
Subjects were stratified according to sex and body mass index (BMI). Two male and two female reference subjects were chosen, one corresponding to the healthy weight BMI range (BMI < 25 kg/m2) and one corresponding to the overweight BMI range (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). The remaining hea...
