They also ranked each person based on four lifestyle habits: not smoking, not being obese (having a body mass index less than 30), exercising at least once a week, and following a healthy diet at least half of the time.
They classified those with a skeletal muscle mass index less than 7.09 kg/m2 in males and 5.91 kg/m2 in females as sarcopenic based on the lowest sex-specific 20%% quintiles in the healthy population [40].
These COPD subjects were aged between 50 and 85 years, with a body mass index less than 35 kg/m2 and a plasma fibrinogen level greater than 2.8 g/l at screening.
The prevalences of definite high BP [( HBP]), greater than or equal to 160/95 mm Hg) and borderline HBP [( BHBP ], greater than or equal to 140/90 less than 160/95 mm Hg) were the same with all three cuffs in patients with an arm circumference less than 35 cm, a body mass index less than 34, and a weight of less than 95 kg.
Women who lose weight and have a dangerously low body mass index (less than 18.5) may experience an absence of menstrual periods, which is called amenorrhea.
In fact, in Asia where obesity is not as prevalent, about sixty percent of type 2 diabetics have body mass indexes less than 25 kg/m2 and are thus classified as "lean" diabetics [3].
Subsequently, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to control for age at inclusion, differences in body-mass index (less than 20, 20 to 25, 25 to 30 and 30 or more), interval between delivery and inclusion, current smoker (yes or no), and chronic hypertension (yes or no).
In several low-income countries in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, as many as 40% of women aged 15 to 49 years have short stature (less than 145 cm) or low body-mass index (less than 18.5 kg/m).
Compared with participants who did not regularly use a PPI, regular users had a higher body mass index, were less physically active, consumed less alcohol, were more likely to have a history of osteoporosis, and were more likely to use hormone replacement therapy, thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, or bisphosphonates (table 1).
Exclusion criteria were platelets less than 75 000/mm, haematocrit less than 32%, oral daily use of a glucocorticosteroid, body mass index (BMI) less than 18, systolic blood pressure greater than 200 mm Hg, diastolic greater than 105 mm Hg, breast cancer ever, other cancers in the last 10 years, or stroke, transient ischaemic attack, or myocardial infarction (MI) in the last 6 months.
