The current study investigated the association between breastfeeding and adult weight distribution using an emerging indicator of weight distribution, the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
Even though the spatial resolution was too low for a detailed examination, Q −1 would be a sensitive indicator of fluid distribution in the subducting plate when we remove the apparent attenuation effect due to multiple scattering.
It has long been suspected that the Kamala tree (Mallotus philippinensis) can serve as an indicator of the distribution for Asian elephants during the dry season in northwestern India.
As an indicator of the distribution of activity, the novelty ratio was calculated as (distance traveled in the periphery/total distance traveled) × 100.
Variance in the lengths of the intergenic regions can be used as an indicator of gene distribution within the Populus genome.
Our results suggest that the parameter AR directly derived from FT analysis of SHG corneal images might fail as an indicator of stromal distribution.
Raised waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), an indicator of fat distribution, was calculated using waist divided by hip measurement, and recommended cut-offs of >1.0 in males and >0.85 in females were used (16).
To avoid a multi-colinearity problem, we decided to use waist-to-hip ratio as an indicator of fat distribution in subsequent analyses, because it was the measure showing the least correlation with BMI.
This study builds upon earlier work by using an emerging indicator of weight distribution, the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), as the primary outcome variable to test this association [ 17, 18].
However, the effectiveness of these methods depends not just on the enthusiasm or creativity of the investigator or on the sophistication of the technology, but also on the manner and extent to which the environmental agents happen to be "cooperative" in their spatial distribution and in offering clear, useful indicators of that distribution.
