Obesity increases sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in men, but not women. Here, we review current evidence suggesting that sexually dimorphic sympathoexcitatory responses to leptin and insulin may contribute. More specifically, while insulin increases SNA similarly in lean males and females, this respo...
BODY image in womenThe aim of this research is to determine the rates of obesity in men and women in Iran Tabriz and to reveal the relationship between obesity and body sensation. Within the scope of this aim, height, weight and Body Mass Index values were ...
The association betweenobesityand poor outcomes in COVID-19 are worse in men than women, with increased rates of in-hospital death, shows the largest study to date exploring the different impact of obesity between the sexes on COVID-19. Men with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 kg...
Men and women differ in the regulation of body composition. For any givenbody mass index, men have more lean tissue whereas women have moreadiposity, and men have more visceraladipose tissuewhereas women have more subcutaneousadipose tissue. Yet, when normalized tolean body mass, men and women ...
The present study aimed to investigate relationships among abdominal obesity, metabolic abnormalities, and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in relatively lean Japanese men and women. The participants included 8133 men and 15 934 women between 40 and 75 years of age recruited from the...
To determine whether educational level and overweight/obesity was associated with the development of diabetes among Chinese adult men and women. A cohort (2000–2011) of 10 704 participants aged 18–59 years (8 238 men, 2 466 women) in Qingdao Port Health Study (QPHS) were recruited in thi...

Sensitivity of QI was 2.03 times greater for men than for women (P < 0.001). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis suggested that an acceptable trade-off between sensitivity (91%) and specificity (47%) occurred at a QI of 24.5 kg.m-2 for men and at a QI of 22 kg.m...
