“…MEIT increase in the male individuals after heat application may be related to the increase of local metabolism and increase in velocity of nervous conduction. A hypothesis for the MEIT absence of alteration after SWD application in women may be attributed to the fact that men are considered more electrically excitable, exactly for presenting higher quantity of muscular mass and lower quantity of adipose tissue in the gluteofemoral region in comparison with women 30 . We believe that SWD use may have generated higher thermal load in the adipose tissue compared with the muscle tissue, especially in women 8 .…”

“…This underlines the importance of correlating anthropometric variables with a view to greater knowledge on individual risks for chronic illnesses in general and specifically for DM2, considering that the BMI is useful to identify overweight, but does not manage to explain different body fat distributions (16,20) .…”

“…Very high AC measures were considered as abdominal obesity, such as AC ≥102 cm for men and 88 ≥ cm for women (13) . The Body Mass Index was calculated by dividing and Industrial Quality) and with adequate cuff sizes for the interviewees' arm circumference (16) . For measurement purposes, some aspects were strictly observed, such as 5-10 minutes of rest, empty bladder, no consumption of alcoholic beverages, coffee or tobacco within 30 minutes before the blood pressure measurement.…”

“…Em ambos os trabalhos houve um sutil aumento do peso corporal dos homens com o passar do tempo, embora sem resultados significantes (Tabela 2). Confrontando com resultados de estudos nacionais, constatou-se um peso superior no grupo aqui avaliado, quando comparado ao peso médio encontrado por Navarro et al 18 em pacientes com diagnóstico de neoplasias, entre outras doenças, do Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto (SP), com idade média de 51 anos, que foi de 61kg.…”

“…Mesmo considerando a média de altura da população brasileira adulta (168,99cm) e, especificamente, dos nordestinos adultos (167,06cm), de acordo com dados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF 2002(POF -2003, analisados por Nogueról et al 16 , os homens estudados mostraram-se mais baixos. Também o estudo de Navarro et al 18 com homens hospitalizados com diagnóstico de neoplasias, entre outras afecções, na cidade de Ribeirão Preto, encontrou uma estatura média mais elevada (168cm). Desta forma, a estatura possivelmente não constitui fator de risco para a neoplasia prostática entre os cearenses, uma vez que a literatura refere que a altura está positivamente associada ao risco de desenvolver câncer de próstata e, ainda mais fortemente, ao risco de morrer por tal neoplasia 8,19 .…”
