This study suggests a benefit of pork on waist circumference, one of the components of the metabolic syndrome.
The data were recorded by five custom-built sensor boards, which were attached to different body parts: two on the wrists, one on the waist, and two on the ankles.
In data being presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Lyon, France, researchers reviewed 31 scientific papers to determine the effectiveness of using BMI (a ratio of height to weight) versus measuring one's waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio, to gauge risk.
Only one prospective cohort study examined waist circumference (specifically, risk of elevated waist circumference) (35); therefore, a meta-analysis examining the effect of LCS on waist circumference was not possible.
The subject was fitted with these sensor units, with one on the waist, one on the bottom of the elbow, and one on the bottom wrist (Figs. 1 and 2).
But Bazilian and Jones are quick to point out that you can usually find at least one waist-friendly option on a menu, even at an airport McDonald's.
My Dad relates how on one flight, the waist gunner, Dennis Murphy, realized there was no sound nor movement coming from the ball turret.
Inspired by gecko's gait and posture on a vertical surface, a gecko inspired model with one pendular waist and four active axil legs, which is called GPL model, is proposed.
The majority of the early-round matches are played on the so-called "field courts" — courts arrayed around the grounds with shallow bleachers on one side and waist-high fences on the other, so that you can sit or stand within ten feet of the action.
A new review suggests that a simple measurement -- the ratio of one's waist circumference to height -- is significantly better at gauging cardio-metabolic risk than body mass index and waist circumference, two common measures.
