Surface anthropometric indices in obesity-related metabolic diseases and cancers.

摘要: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and cancers such as colon cancer (CCa), prostate (PCa) breast (BCa) have been recognized obesity-initiated diseases. The development of obesity can cause changes in metabolic hormonal conditions, which result the storage excess energy different forms human body. Existing anthropometric data are useful prognosis these Although frequently studied, there is disagreement on applicability, reliability trends weight, height, waist circumference (WC) relevant indices. WC generally accepted a key marker CVD CCa risk assessment whereas more evidence usefulness WC-CVD, WC-PCa WC-BCa correlations needed. body mass index, has widely used determinant obesity, strong connection with men young women, but an inconsistent BCa. Cross-referencing measurements, indices waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) waist-to-hip (WHR), enhances association diseases, e.g. WHtR-CVD WHR-CCa, connections strong. This idea further applied to multiple referencing. For example, WHtR/WHR studied found highly correlated MetS Asia. In addition, latent issues (such tools or techniques for surface measurement), could affect discussed. To this end, three-dimensional technology suggested reliable tool various collection analysis preventive medicine.
