The variable of primary interest was the self-reported frequency of GP's performance of waist measurement consisting of three ordered categories (performance in less than 10%, between 10 and 50%, and in more than 50% of obese patients).
To achieve two-DOF adduction/abduction and flexion/extension assistance, a novel parallel hip-assistive mechanism was proposed, consisting of a waist unit, a leg unit and two parallel driving branches.
All subjects will undergo a physical exam consisting of the following measures: resting blood pressure, body weight in kilograms, height in centimeters, waist and hip circumference in centimeters.
They also constructed a temporary latrine, consisting of two fifteen-yard parallel ditches, one for men and one for women, divided from each other and also surrounded by a waist-high fence of gleaming silver corrugated iron.
Its FSG, consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp.
Twelve months of intervention consisting of diet, physical exercise and cognitive behavioral training significantly decreased body weight, BMI, body fat percentage as well as hip and waist ratio compared to the reference group.
Sightseers would carry koshibento, or "waist bento," which consisted of easily portable rice balls wrapped in bamboo leaves and tucked into a woven bamboo box.
The best-fitting metabolic syndrome model consisted of waist circumference, fasting insulin, HDL, and systolic blood pressure.
The best-fitting model to the data (Fig. 1) consisted of waist circumference, fasting insulin, HDL, and systolic blood pressure [χ (2) = 3.31; P = 0.19; RMSEA = 0.03; CFI = 1.00; SRMR = 0.01].
Modified waist circumference cutoffs for Asian populations were used, which consisted of a waist circumference ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women [ 24].
