Weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) represents a novel anthropometric measure for assessing obesity. Bearing in mind that there is insufficient data in the literature regarding gender differences in WWI values, the aim of the current study was to examine gender differences in WWI values among older adults.

Hence, the aim of the present study was to explore the correlation between BMI and novel lipid indices in Bosnian patients with T2DM. Present study included 117 patients with T2DM (mean age: 66.

- The study looked at the SII index in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to see how it relates to inflammation levels in the body.
- They divided RA patients into two groups based on a blood test measuring hs-CRP, which shows how inflamed the person is.
- Results suggested that a higher SII index could help doctors understand how severe the RA is in patients and track the disease's progress.
Aim This study aimed to assess the impact of forced repeated swimming stress on serum adiponectin and endothelin-1 levels in Wistar rats, comparing the effects between those fed a standard diet and those on a high-fat diet. Methods Twenty adult male Wistar rats were divided into two dietary groups: a standard food diet group (NFD, n=10) and a high-fat diet group (HFD, n=10). Both groups underwent daily forced swimming stress for six days, with durations increasing from 5 to 30 minutes.

Studies have shown that ethnic background may affect lipid profile.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to conduct comparative assessment of traditional and non-traditional lipid profiles in Bosnian patients with AD and VD.
