Overall BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and FMI quintiles were estimated and mean insulin concentrations calculated by quintile for boys and girls separately.
Overall, the waist circumference increased significantly from 73.7 cm in 2002 to 78.4 cm in 2010.
BMI (in kg/m = weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) was used as a measure of overall adiposity; waist circumference was used as an indicator of abdominal visceral fat.
For the NCEP ATP III classification, serum triglycerides (in the overall population), waist and HDL (in female population) demonstrated the highest predictive capability for MS (AUCs:0.786, 0.805 and 0.801, respectively).
The adiposity measures included in our main data analysis comprised BMI as an indicator of overall obesity and waist circumference and waist-to-height and waist-to-hip ratios as abdominal obesity indices, respectively [ 20- 22].
However, the overall patterns of waist circumference were weaker than those of BMI (see Additional file 1: Table S1).
For the NCEP ATP III classification, serum triglycerides in the overall population, and waist circumference and HDL in females had the highest predictive ability for MS (AUCs: 0.786, 0.805 and 0.801, respectively).
As a result, the eye sees the overall leg, from waist to foot, in a more balanced and proportional light.
Levi's began making riveted "waist overalls" in 1873 but lost everything in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
In 2001, Mr. Sullivan reports in his book "Jeans: A Cultural History of an American Icon," the oldest known pair of Levi's in existence, a miner's pair of buckle-back waist overalls from the 1880's, went for $46,532 on eBay.
