The global prevalence of OA attributed to high BMI has steadily increased over the past 3 decades, particularly among women and in high-SDI regions.

A groundbreaking study involving genetic data from over five million people has uncovered how our DNA can predict obesity ...

Thyroid cancer burden attributable to high BMI was increasing between 1990 and 2021 in the US, especially among men and older adults.

For decades now, obesity has been defined by a number on a scale or where you land on the body mass index (BMI) measure. But ...

Body mass index (BMI) may not provide the most accurate screening for skeletal muscle deficits among youth with pediatric‐onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to a study in the Journal of ...

A new genetic analysis using data from over five million people has provided a clearer understanding of the risk of going on ...

The study arises from the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium, an international collaboration of human genetics researchers dedicated to studying the genetic architecture ...

Now new, highly sensitive lab tests can measure troponin at much lower levels. This development enabled Johns Hopkins researchers to measure the troponin levels as well as body mass index (BMI) in ...

Background: The correlation between visceral adipose tissue and thyroid hormones is debated, and the conventional body mass index (BMI) is insufficient for differentiating fat distribution patterns.

New University of Florida study finds body fat percentage is 78% more accurate than body mass index in predicting mortality risk, challenging the long-standing use of BMI as a health indicator.

Doctors should provide high quality, evidence based care reflecting individual preferences and needs, regardless of weight, argue Juan Franco and colleagues Doctors have traditionally recommended ...
