Metabolic syndrome prediction based on body composition indices.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important public health issue that has been lately linked as a growing concern worldwide.

The Objective: To find out which anthropometric and body composition indices can prognosticate MetS in Jordanian adult females.

Methods: A sample of 656 Jordanian adult females was recruited (January-March 2024) in the middle of Jordan.

The impact of energy releasing B-vitamin intake on indices of obesity and cardiac function: a cross-sectional study.

Background: B vitamins play a crucial role in the balance and metabolism of energy. Energy metabolism mainly benefits from the B-complex vitamins. Specifically, decarboxylation, transamination, acylation, oxidation, and reduction of substrates that are ultimately employed in energy intake require thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin B6.

Habitual food consumption, eating behavior and meal-timing among Jordanian adults with elevated Blood pressure: a cross-sectional population-based study.

Background: The prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) has been raised worldwide. Food consumption, eating habits, and nutritional lifestyle related to meal timing, skipping meals, and meal contents have recently received more attention in studies on BP and metabolic syndrome. This study evaluated the association between habitual food consumption, eating behavior, and meal timing with BP among Jordanian adults.

The Novelty of using Obesity Indices as Blood Pressure Predictors.

Aims: To study the association between selected obesity indices, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Methods: A cross-sectional study on 491 Jordanian adults (19-65 years old). The sociodemographic data, anthropometrics, and blood pressure were measured and recorded.

Dietary fat types consumption association with obesity and coronary indices.

This article aims to study the different dietary fat types associated with obesity and coronary indices. A sample of 491 healthy adults was included in a cross-sectional manner. Dietary fats intake, obesity indices (conicity index (CI), body adiposity index (BAI), abdominal volume index (AVI), body roundness index (BRI), and weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI)), and cardiovascular indices (cardiometabolic index (CMI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)) were calculated and studied.
