Aims The objectives of this study were to determine the association of waist circumference
(WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

BACKGROUND: A central distribution of adipose tissue is frequently associated with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors. METHODS: Clinical usefulness of waist-to …

This meta-analysis aimed to study the relationship between abdominal obesity and the risk
of CVD by waist circumference (WC), waist: hip ratio (WHR) and waist: height ratio (WHtR) …

Aims Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) are both predictors of
cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We compared absolute risk, hazard ratio (HR), and …

Background: Obesity is associated with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia and
increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Anthropometric indices, such body mass index …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the risk of CHD associated with excess
weight measured by BMI and waist circumference (WC) in two large cohorts of men and …

Objectives: This study examined associations between anthropometric measures (body
mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio [WHtR]) and risk of …

Objectives. To compare body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and waist–hip ratio
(WHR) as indices of obesity and assess the respective associations with type 2 diabetes …

Objectives To investigate which anthropometric adiposity measure has the strongest
association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Caucasian men and women …

OBJECTIVE: To comparatively evaluate cut-off points of waist circumference, body mass
index and waist to hip ratio with respect to their ability to predict other individual and multiple …
