Fewer respondents made electrocardiograms, monitored waist circumference, performed pregnancy tests, or 24 h urine examinations.
Our findings suggest the potential value of monitoring waist circumference over time in IFG.
Compared with the control group, the management group demonstrated improvement on the following variables (P<0.01): health knowledge score, self-evaluated psychological conditions, overall self-evaluated health conditions, diet score, physical activity duration per week, regular blood pressure monitoring, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure and fasting blood sugar.
At those centers where two-dosimeter worker monitoring systems are used, workers who may become pregnant should wear their 'inside' monitor at waist level.
"There was one system where the monitoring was waist high, and they learned to crawl under that.
The children were asked to wear the monitor on their waist during waking hours and to remove the device before bathing, taking a shower, or swimming [ 32].
Participants will be instructed to wear the monitor on their waist during waking hours (except when in contact with water) and on their wrist while sleeping, as the monitor has been validated in these positions [ 92].
Regular monitoring of weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and fasting glucose and lipids is important (48), but such testing is carried out in no more than one-third of patients (49), perhaps as a manifestation of "clinical inertia" (50).
The most convenient location to carry the planned monitors (at the waist, on the back, in the breathing zone, etc)., the preferred type of carrying bag, and the maximum amount of time volunteers are willing to carry the equipment are all important factors to consider during a preliminary test.
Further research is needed on effective interventions to identify and monitor children with increased waist circumference to reduce metabolic and blood pressure risks.
