adults have overweight or obesity, with rates of obesity being higher among certain races and ethnicities (i.e., Blacks and Hispanics) [240] The average total blood cholesterol levels in U.S. adults in years from 1999 to 2000 was 188 mg/dL and the average blood LDL-C for the same ...

In 1991, none of the participating states had obesity rates of 20% or greater; however, by 2000, 22 of the participating states had rates of obesity of 20% or greater. In 2000, Mississippi had the highest (24.3%) and Colorado had the lowest (13.8%) rate of obesity. Among races, ...
Data from the Middle Eastern countries of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, and Lebanon, among others, indicate this same disturbing trend, with levels of obesity often exceeding 40%. Internationally, rates of obesity are higher in women than in men. A somewhat higher rate would ...
Due to the relatively thin body shape characteristics of Asians, the selection of predictive indicators may not be applicable to other races, and the extrapolation is limited. Third, given the low incidence of secondary hypertension in the general population, although the type of new-onset ...
pylori infection and CagA strains differed among Americans of various races [59]. Lastly, this study used different measures to define obesity, and the findings sug- gest that H. pylori is associated with obesity as defined by WHtR but not with general obesity as defined by BMI or abdominal ...
Abstract Caesarean section (CS) birth is widely reported to be a risk factor for childhood obesity. Although susceptibility to childhood obesity is influenced by race and ethnicity, it is unclear whether this risk of childhood obesity with CS birth also applies in the Japanese population. We inves...
respectively. The results revealed higher levels of leptin on the fetal side than on the maternal side. Among them, maternal obesity was associated with elevated leptin promoter DNAm on the fetal side and hypomethylation on the maternal side of the adiponectin promoter, low levels of leptin recept...
While subgroup analysis by racial and ethnic groups did identify different prevalence values for different races, this analysis did not fully explain the heterogeneity, and thus, factors beyond race and ethnicity likely affect the association of obesity and T2D. Patients with MODY tend to have lower...
Although the adjusted rates were higher than the unadjusted rates, similar patterns were observed among states and over time. Therefore, we only report the unadjusted estimates. Comment These data show that obesity increased in every state, in both sexes, and across all age groups, races, ...
