After trying several pairs of jeans — high waist, low waist, wide leg, cigarette leg, cropped — Clare decided that the contemporary blue jeans market wants young women to look like cartoon characters from Archie comics or, better yet, R. Crumb.
The label said: "Waist: Low".
This, to a large extent (and large is a large part of the problem, if you follow), rules out high-waist, low-rise and G-string thongs; tanga; Brazilian; side-tie; low-rise; maybe bikini and possibly shorts.
Among these men, frailty was associated with an increased risk of high waist circumference, low HDL-C, high heart rate, high WCC, low FEV1, low haemoglobin, poor renal function (low eGFR), low albumin, low ALT, high GGT, high ALP and high phosphate levels.
Would it be a high waist or low, a pencil or an A-line?" Such questions, in retrospect, seem meaningless, she said.
Think of the belt, worn either on the waist or low on the hips, as a tough counterpoint to flounced skirts or those one-shoulder draped tops and dresses, which are everywhere this season.
Whether you wear it at the waist or low on your hips, a belt can completely transform your silhouette.
The highest quintile always corresponded to the highest risk category (e.g. large waist circumference, low creatinine clearance).
In most groups, high blood pressure was the most frequent abnormality, followed by increased waist circumference, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high fasting blood glucose, and high triglycerides.
High blood pressure was the most frequent component of the MetS, followed by increased waist circumference, low HDL cholesterol, and high triglycerides (Supplementary Appendix 1).
Among women, the proportions of participants who developed new-onset metabolic syndrome, high waist circumference, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and high blood glucose were 16.4, 21.1, 32.2, 14.1, 14.4, and 8.4%, respectively.
