Waist‐to‐hip ratio and mortality in heart failure
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "European Journal of Heart Failure"
DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.1244
Abstract: A higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with better survival in heart failure (HF) patients, also known as the obesity paradox. However, BMI does not account for body composition. We therefore analysed the association… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s41999-019-00220-1
Abstract: To evaluate the relationship between waist-to-hip ratio and fall-related outcomes in community-dwelling individuals aged 55 years and above. A higher waist-to-hip ratio remained independently associated with increased risk of falls compared to those with a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2019.09.006
Abstract: Summary We combined CAGE sequencing in human adipocytes during differentiation with data from genome-wide association studies to identify an enhancer in the SNX10 locus on chromosome 7, presumably involved in body fat distribution. Using reporter… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep43551
Abstract: To investigate whether waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a better predictor of prostate cancer (PCa) incidence than body mass index (BMI) in Chinese men. Of consecutive patients who underwent prostate biopsies in one tertiary center between… read more here.

Outcomes and safety of concomitant topiramate or metformin for antipsychotics-induced obesity: a randomized-controlled trial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Annals of General Psychiatry"
DOI: 10.1186/s12991-020-00319-x
Abstract: Background Although there are some existing data describing the usage of topiramate in patients with antipsychotic-induced obesity, study on its comparison with metformin is limited. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness and safety of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1681/asn.2020050679
Abstract: BACKGROUND The size of any causal contribution of central and general adiposity to CKD risk and the underlying mechanism of mediation are unknown. METHODS Data from 281,228 UK Biobank participants were used to estimate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.975327
Abstract: Background Although studies have shown that higher waist-hip ratio (WHR) is closely related to higher risk of metabolism-related diseases, the relationship between WHR and subclinical myocardial injury (SC-MI) is unknown. This study was to evaluate… read more here.

Relationship between the Duration of Urban Nature and a Lower Waist-Hip Ratio
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"
DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811606
Abstract: Obesity is a prevalent health issue. Evidence suggests that the availability of urban nature may reduce the risks of obesity. However, several knowledge gaps remain. This study explores the relationships between the dose (distance, duration… read more here.
