Therefore, we investigated the association between water hardness and the percentage of obese people. We utilized the annual report of Kenko 21 and water quality inspection data of Maebashi City, Japan, which is the prefectural capital of Gunma Prefecture belonging to the Kanto plain and located ...
In our primary meta-analysis of men and women combined, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 10 independent loci reached genome-wide significance (GWS,P<5 × 10−8;Table 1andSupplementary Fig. 2), including the three loci that we identified before13. Two additional loci, nearPLA2G6and...
1) with the evidence of cancer, renal, or hematological disease; 2) a medication history of corticosteroids in the previous 6 months; 3) those who were going on a weight-loss program or weight loss ≥5% of body weight within 12 months; 4) people who refused to participate in this study...
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia [2,3,4]. National trends in CVD risk factors show that although there have been marginal improvements in all weight groups, risk factors continue to be higher in obese and overweight subjects [5,6...
Ling [15] reported that BMI and WC were simple predictors of fasting insulin and insulin resistance in overweight and obese adolescents. The WC was strongly associated with glucose and lipid disturbance in obese subjects [16]. The BMI was strongly correlated with HOMA-IR in adolescents [17]. ...
Primarily, a majority of investigations were conducted on overweight or obese inactive adults as opposed to active normal body mass or BMI adults. Hence, it remains challenging to draw generalized conclusions on how different types of HIIT influence body composition outcomes in these populations (...
National trends in CVD risk factors show that although there have been marginal improvements in all weight groups, risk factors continue to be higher in obese and overweight subjects [5,6]. A simple and effective measure of adiposity is needed to enable us to estimate the magnitude of the ...
