Objective: The study was to examine whether waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR) performed better than waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference (WC), or body mass index (BMI) in relation to hyperglycemia (fasting plasma glucose > or = 5.6 mmol/L) among government employee.
Methods: A cluster sampling was conducted in Beijing ShiJitan Hospital in August 2010. 1280 government employee were examined on height, weight, WC, hip circumference, thigh circumference, fasting glucose and so on.
Results: (1) The rate of hyperglycemia was 40.16%, increasing along with age. The level of WC, BMI, WHtR, WHR, WTR, SBP, DBP, AST, TC, TG, CRE, UA in hyperglycemia group was significantly higher than that of normal glucose group (P < 0. 001), but the level of HDL-C is lower than normal glucose group. Meanwhile, the prevalence rate of fat liver in hyperglycemia group was significantly higher than that of normal glucose group. (2) Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to measure the predictive hyperglycemia performance of each anthropometric measurement based on the area under the curve (AUC). AUC of WTR (0.716) was larger than that of WHtR (0.690) (P < 0.001), WHR (0.682) (P < 0.001), WC (0.682) (P < 0.001), and BMI (0.665) (P < 0.001) for hyperglycemia. In men, AUC of WTR (0.648) was larger than that of WHtR (0.611) (P < 0.001), WHR (0.614) (P < 0.001), WC (0.598) (P < 0.001), and BMI (0.587) (P < 0.001) for hyperglycemia. In women, the AUC of WTR (0.758) was smaller than that of WHtR (0.774) (P < 0.001), and WC (0.761) (P < 0.001), but larger than that of BMI (0.738) (P < 0.001) and WHR (0.732) (P < 0.001) for hyperglycemia. Stratified by age, in women who age > or = 35 years, the AUC of WTR (0.725) was larger than that of WHtR (0.716) (P < 0.001), WC (0.705) (P < 0.001), WHR (0.676) (P < 0.001) and BMI (0.665) (P < 0.001). (3) After adjustment for age and gender, logistic regression analyses showed that WTR have the strongest association with hyperglycemia (OR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.37 - 2.11; per 1 SD increment).
Conclusion: Hyperglycemia is a serious health problem in government employee. WTR performed better than other four indices in all men and in women age > or = 35 for the association with hyperglycemia.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research has shifted focus to understanding right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in STEMI patients, which was previously less studied compared to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
- In a study of 189 STEMI patients post-cardiac intervention, a significant portion had RV dysfunction, evidenced by lower RV and LV performance metrics and larger infarct sizes.
- Key predictors of RV dysfunction included lower LV ejection fraction and interventricular septum measures, with male gender and certain coronary artery issues linked to worse outcomes.

Background: The interaction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), host and antiretroviral therapy (ART) causes a range of metabolic disorders that can be characterized as a metabolic syndrome (MetS) that increases the cardiovascular risk. MetS involves central obesity, which can be detected using different anthropometric parameters.
Objective: To assess the abilities of different anthropometric parameters in the prediction of MetS in HIV-infected men on ART.

Objective: To assess the relative accuracy of anthropometric indicators of body fatness or adiposity as compared to the percent fat measured by air displacement plethysmography in Indian women with normal body mass index (BMI).
Methods: Percent body fat was assessed using the BodPod in 58 women, aged 30-56 years. The relative accuracy of anthropometric indicators of body fatness like BMI, waist-stature-ratio (WSR), waist-thigh-ratio (WTR), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), and circumferences at arm, neck, chest, waist, hip, and thigh were tested using an ROC curve analysis.
