Normal weight central obesity (NWCO), a distinct phenotype of obesity that is associated with a higher risk of cardiometabolic dysregulation, has received growing attention in the scientific literature. In this study, we aimed to report the prevalence of NWCO in the general Chinese adults and its...
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein upregulated during ongoing inflammation and infections (Wu et al., 2015). Recent studies proposed that CRP could be used as marker of disease in asthma (Takemura et al., 2006). We then asked if CRP would correlate with RANTES. Here we...
In adults, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a BMI in the range of 25.0–29.9 is responsible for overweight, while a BMI over 30.0 is responses for obesity. Data on BMI for adults can be found on the WHO website at http://www.who.int/tools/growth-reference-data-for-...
resistance (IR) in the basal state with dyslipidemia and systemic inflammation (hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-a), in the fasting state, 2 h and 4 h after a mixed meal, in Indian adults with normal glucose tolerance, and new onset type-2 diabetes. Methods: Forty-eight people with type 2...
In contrast, CRP level had a significantly inverse correlation with lymphocyte percentage (p < 0.0001). A proposed new reference range for total leukocyte count was estimated based on the data in the normal CRP level group (CRP < 0.1 mg/dL; n = 4839). To rest on the essence of ...
Along with body fat percentage, the body mass index was calculated for each child. We used BMI IOTF standards when a child in range BMI 15th–85th was classified as normostenic/normal-weight non-obese; BMI > 85th overweight and obese. In our sample there were no children with a BMI ...
1 SDSs was more common in men and in patients with a longer duration of GHRT. Patients with tumor-related AGHD had a lower 5-year mean IGF-1 SDS. Long-term maintenance of IGF-1 SDS in the upper-normal range was associated with lower high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) ...
On the other hand, in another prospective study from the UK, 1191 individuals did not show a significant relationship between (cardiovascular) mortality and variation in TSH levels within the reference range, but it should be taken into consideration that this survey was primarily focused on ...
