Adjusted geometric means of HOMA-IR and prevalence odds of elevated HOMA-IR were progressively higher with increasing levels of waist circumference.
As shown in Figure 1, geometric means of HOMA-IR were progressively higher with increasing levels of waist circumference; age-adjusted means for the waist circumference of < 80, 80 84, 85 89, 90 94, and ≥ 95 were 0.76, 1.07, 1.42, 1.73, and 2.49 (trend P < 0.0001).
Moreover, the dietary intervention also induced a visceral accumulation of adipose tissue as shown by the significant increase of waist circumference during the trial.
Our results also show that waist circumference/abdominal obesity increased significantly in all SES groups; however, the increases of waist circumference/abdominal obesity in high SES residents were slower than those in low SES residents.
Our data show that weight increase is also associated to changes of fat body composition, namely an increase of waist circumference and hip circumference, especially in patients who received chemotherapy.
Furthermore, the authors show that the evolutionary age at stage l follows the same pattern as the lethality probability: gradually increasing until the waist of the hourglass, and then gradually decreasing.
Ford and colleagues found an increasing prevalence of elevated waist circumference, even in the absence of a rising prevalence of elevated BMI.
The prevalence odds of elevated HOMA-IR (≥ 2.00) also increased stepwise with increasing circumferences of the waist (Table 2).
In men and women, increasing waist circumference was associated with increasing risk of rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Radial stresses reduced from the top of arch to the waist of arch first, and then increased in the waist of wall.
