The groups did not differ in BMI, waist circumference, % body fat, fasting plasma glucose, and insulin concentrations (Table 1), although subjects with low IS tended to have higher fasting serum insulin (P = 0.052; NS).
*cDNA base pair location relative to the ATG start site Subjects with (AdipoR2-SNP) and without the AdipoR2 SNP cluster (AdipoR2) did not differ in age, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, parameters of glucose metabolism, inflammatory parameters, total cholesterol, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations (Tables 2, 3).
Subjects carrying different ACE polymorphisms did not differ in terms of BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose-insulin levels, and lipid profile.
Subjects with different Q84R genotypes did not differ in age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (Table 1) or medication for diabetes or hypertension.
Patients in the lowest quartile of total physical activity did not differ in body composition or waist circumference from those in the highest quartile, table 1. Fifty-three percent of the women had cholesterol > 5.0 mmol/l and 51% had high LDL levels.
Cases were more likely to have a family history of cancer than controls and more likely to be non-smokers, but did not differ in relation to BMI, waist-hip ratio, exercise intensity score, alcohol intake, or social class.
Although decliners lost less weight, the two groups did not differ in their baseline-adjusted changes in waist, BMI, and whole-body insulin sensitivity (Matsuda) between 3 and 12 months.
However, subjects with cTnI < ULR and cTnI > URL did not differ in age, BMI, fat percentage or waist circumference (corrected for sex) or presence of diseases (i.e. hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes), whilst exercise intensity was significantly higher in subjects with cTn > URL (Table 3).
The two responder groups we identified did not significantly differ in age, BMI, order of treatment, waist-hip ratio, pre-weight, post-weight or in bodyweight change.
The bodies of honey bees and paper wasps have a similar waist-like appearance but they differ in shapes and sizes, as shown in Fig. 1.
