Waist to hipcircumference ratio tended to be weakly associated with gallstones.
2
Height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference, and waist and hipcircumference were measured.
3
The waist-to- hipcircumference ratio and the triceps-to-subscapular skinfold thickness ratio were measured.
4
The hipcircumference became statistically informative after body mass index adjustment.
5
We observed a decrease of waist-to- hipcircumference ratio with age, especially in girls.
6
Other data collected included blood pressure, body weight, height, waist and hipcircumference.
7
Compared with controls, all exercise groups significantly decreased abdominal, minimal waist, and hipcircumference measurements.
8
On the day of blood collection height, weight, and waist and hipcircumference were measured.
9
Results: The exercise program did not result in significant effects on weight, body mass index, and hipcircumference.
10
The second measure is the ratio of your waist circumference to your hipcircumference-knownas your waist-to-hipratio.
11
In summary, we have defined a new parameter, the BAI, which can be calculated from hipcircumference and height only.
12
Discussion: Recent interest in the waist circumference as an effective screening tool has taken the focus off of the hipcircumference.
13
Considering both waist and hipcircumference in the clinical setting could help to best identify those at increased risk of death.
14
In girls, waist-to- hipcircumference ratio ranges from 0.756, at 14.5 years, to 0.877, at 4.5 years.
15
Background Waist circumference and hipcircumference are both strongly associated with risk of death; however, their joint association has rarely been investigated.
16
Conclusions A more complex relationship between hipcircumference, waist circumference, and risk of death is revealed when both measures are considered simultaneously.
