  • In conclusion, post hoc data from the present study suggested that body mass index may influence the natural history of asthma control (as reflected by response to placebo) and may differentially influence response to the two active agents, warranting explicit testing in future prospective studies.

  • The control group, however, increased their body fat and fasting plasma glucose, while other variables were not changed during the study period. (jssm.org)
  • The goal of this study was to measure the relationship between increasing body mass index (BMI) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with different components of operating room (OR) time. (stanford.edu)
  • The table displays BMI as a function of mass and height and may show other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation). (wikipedia.org)
  • BMI stands for Body Mass Index and is calculated using the metric system. (indysobefit.com)
  • Disclosure: Jennifer M. Zanowiak, MA, has disclosed no relevant financial relationships. (cdc.gov)
  • Relationships between child body size, PA, and TV exposure were estimated using generalised estimating equation (GEE) methods. (scirp.org)
