WHR more than 0.90 in men and 0.85 in women indicates higher fat deposition around the waist which increases risk of chronic diseases. 2. Waist-to-height-ratio This ratio is obtained by dividing waist size by height. If your waist circumference is more than half your height that makes you ...
The impact of birth weight (BW) on adult health has been studied, related to the autonomic nervous system, and implicated in cardiovascular risk. We investigated cardiorespiratory and heart rate (HR) autonomic recovery after moderate effort in healthy te
NWCO was defined as the combination of a BMI of 18.5–23.9 kg/m2 and 1) a waist circumference (WC) of >85 cm in males or >80 cm in females (NWCO by WC); 2) a waist to height ratio (WHtR) of ≥0.5 (NWCO by WHtR); 3) a waist to hip ratio (WHR) of ≥0.9 ...
In addition to weight-for-age beyond 10 years, our charts provide more granularity in the centiles in the healthy range −2 to +2 SD (3–97%). For both weight and BMI, the bootstrap confidence intervals for the 99.9th centile were at least an order of magnitude wider than the corre...
Women with normal height (151–158 cm) did not have any adjustments in birthweight. These corrections yielded us the birthweights adjusted for maternal height. The modified birthweights were adjusted with gestational ages to produce the birthweight centiles for each of the four groups in the ...

Catch-up growth in weight, height, and BMI occurred between 8 and 20 years among VLBW females but not among VLBW males who remained significantly smaller than their controls at 20 years old. At 20 years mean weight of VLBW males was 69 kg versus 80 kg for controls (z score -0.4 vs +...
The goal of this study was to compare the growth and effect of growth on cognitive performance at 5 years of age of a group of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants and a group of healthy full-term infants. Beginning in 1995, under the sponsorship of the Premature Baby Foundation, the ...
