Those who fulfilled all the acceptable criteria (body mass index: 18.5 24.99 kg/m2; blood pressure: 110 120/75 85 mm Hg; age: 18 35 years; fasting blood glucose: 4 6 mmol/l; not on prescription medication; nonsmoking; no genetic or metabolic diseases) were included in the study.
The key decision is the choice of environmental design conditions to be considered for operation and survival: this issue cannot be solved globally, i.e. different operating conditions (transit, operation, survival) and criteria (body motions, local and global loads) will lead to individual results.
We also categorized hospitalized case-patients on the basis of whether their symptoms met US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC ILILI criteria (body temperature >37.8°C with either cough or sore throat in the absence of an alternative diagnosis) and WHO ILI criteria (body temperature >38°C with either cough or sore throat in the absence of an alternative diagnosis) (11, 12 ).
Based on standard criteria, body mass index (BMI) was calculated (kg/m) and categorized as normal (<25 kg/m), overweight (25 to >30 kg/m), and obese (≥30 kg/m) [ 29].
We collected systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria: body temperature >38 °C; a heart rate of >90 beats/min; a respiratory rate of >20 breaths/min or mechanical ventilation; and white blood cell counts of <4.0 *10/L or >12.0 *10/L.
SIRS diagnosis requires the presence of two or more of the following criteria: body temperature above 38°C or below 36°C; heart rate above 90 beats/min; respiratory rate above 20 breaths/min or partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide below 32 mmHg; leukocytes count above 12 G/L or below 4 G/L.
For inclusion in the trial patients had to be at least 18 years old and meet the following criteria: body mass index (BMI) between 30 43 kg/m, or BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 with obesity-related comorbidities, stable weight for three months prior to screening, and the ability to read and understand questionnaires.
Recruited women were at 8-12 weeks' gestation and fulfilled at least one of the following criteria: body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m, history of earlier gestational glucose intolerance or macrosomic newborn (> 4500 g), age ≥ 40 years, first or second degree relative with history of type 1 or 2 diabetes.
LRTI was defined based on the following criteria: body temperature ≥ 38.0°C at least once; two or more respiratory symptoms which were new or of increasing severity (sputum, cough, shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, or worsening functional status); and use of oral or intravenous antibiotics.
Based on the presence of SIRS criteria (body temperature ≥38°C, WBC >12 × 10/l or <4 × 10/l, pulse rate >90/minute and respiratory rate >20/minute [ 13]), or a significant hypotension (a systolic blood pressure of <90 mmHg or a fall of >40 mmHg from baseline), presence or absence of organ failure, and the final diagnosis, the patients were categorized into various groups.
