1Weight, height, sagittal diameter and waist circumference were measured using standard methods.
2In contrast, BMI and waist circumference alone exhibited curvilinear-shaped associations with mortality.
3Associations for baseline BMI and waist circumference were attenuated after mutual adjustment.
4In the intervention group, weight, waist circumference, and body fat percentage decreased.
5Body weight, height, waist circumference and percentage of body fat were measured.
6Body adiposity was assessed from body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio.
7Increasingly negative relationships were associated with increases in waist circumference only.
8Higher waist circumference was associated indirectly with adiponectin and directly with leptin concentrations.
9Secondary outcomes are height, weight and waist circumference in the children.
10Multivariate regression identified sociodemographic predictors of BMI and waist circumference in the data.
11For women, but not men, AER was associated with waist circumference.
12Main outcome measures: Body mass index, waist circumference, insulin levels, and insulin resistance index.
13Greater distance to city centre was associated with a greater increase in waist circumference.
14No association of waist circumference with risk of adenocarcinoma of the lung was found.
15Further adjustment by waist circumference attenuated these effects, but the odds ratios remained elevated.
16These associations were attenuated after adjusting for adult waist circumference.
