“…Various anthropometric parameters have been studied in stroke patients. Several studies were conducted by various researchers where anthropometric parameters such as height, weight, BMI, skinfold thickness and midarm circumference (MAC) were studied (Holanda et al, 2006;Owolabi & Agunloye, 2013;Dhandapani et al, 2015;Kim & Nam, 2020). In addition, researchers had studied FOD, BPD and Bregma Occiput Diameter (BOD) and linked them with medical disease such as moyamoya (Qureshi et al, 2014;Faheem et al, 2019).…”

Stroke has been linked with various anthropometric parameters. Many researchers studied anthropometric parameters such as height, weight and BMI in relation to stroke. Cephalometry is used to estimate the dimensions of skull with which different head types could be determined. This study was aimed at determining the different head types of stroke patients. This is a descriptive retrospective imaging study that used brain CT scans of stroke patients. Vitrea® 2.0 software was used for the image analysis. The software has an in-built caliper which was used for measurement of Fronto-Occipital Diameter (FOD) and Bi-Parietal Diameter (BPD). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. The overall mean age and standard deviation of the study subjects was 58+15yrs. The mean age and standard deviation for males and females were 58 ± 14 years and 59 ± 15 years respectively. The mean and standard deviation of FOD, BPD and Cranial Index (CI) were found to be 170 ± 11 mm, 122 ± 8 mm and 72 ± 6 respectively. Majority of the patients were observed to have Dolichocephalic head type (302, 73%). This study established that the predominant head type found amongst the stroke patients is Dolichocephalic.

“…BMI does not account for factors such as body fat distribution, specifically abdominal obesity, and cannot distinguish between lean and fat body mass. [5] WC reflects abdominal fat, which contains a higher amount of visceral fat. Therefore, measures that reflect abdominal adiposity and which have an influence on blood lipid profile such as WC, WHR, and WHR are considered superior to BMI in predicting cardiovascular disease risk.…”

Background: The prevalence of dyslipidemia has increased manifold in the industrialized, developed, and the developing countries to the extent that it is becoming an escalating epidemic. Obesity, an important risk factor of dyslipidemia, places individuals at risk of various chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Screening obese individuals by anthropometry and correlating it with the lipid profile helps to identify individuals at risk of developing obesity-related complications. Aims and Objectives: The current study was done to correlate anthropometric indices with lipid profile of individuals and determine the best anthropometric index which predicts dyslipidemia. Materials and Methods:This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study. A total of 306 adult females who attended Kannur Medical College Hospital for executive checkup were included in the study. Demographic data were collected, the thorough general physical examination was done, and anthropometric measurements were taken according to the standard protocol. Blood samples were taken, and lipid profile was done with the help of automatic analyzer. Results: It was observed that the mean age of the subjects was 47 years (standard deviation 10.92), the mean waist circumference (WC) was 85.09 cm ± 10.53, body mass index (BMI) was 23.35 ± 4.09 kg/m

The aim of the present study was to construct a concept of mobility limitation in the home, based on the identification of antecedents, attributes, and consequences in stroke patients. It accomplished the concept analysis of the literature starting from access on-line to three databases, in October month 2009. It used descriptors Mobility Limitation and Stroke in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages. It was found 140 articles and selected 13. The main antecedents identified were: stroke, decreased muscle strength in the lower limbs, and loss of balance; attributes: impaired walking ability and decreased walking speed; consequences: decreased quality of life, decreased participation in society, decrease in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, and falls. This search might support the future creation of tools for use in studies on this subject and will enable nurses to better focus their practice for the care of these patients.
