Relation of skinfold thickness with the serum lipids, glucose and blood pressure among Indian sedentary office workers.

Background: Serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are established cardiovascular disease (CVD) markers, however accessibility to these markers is less in individuals from low-middle income countries. The non-invasive CVD risk marker especially skinfold measured fat percentages are less explored for its relevance with established serum biochemistry markers.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 70 sedentary office workers (aged 30-40 years) who were healthy.

A solitary enchondroma in the radial shaft.

Solitary enchondromas are usually seen in the tubular bones of the hands and feet. Their occurrence in the radius is extremely rare. Here, we report a male patient in his 30s with a history of pain in the right forearm for the past 7 months and swelling for the past 4 months.
