“…This is in keeping with other studies (V. Rao, P. Rao, Carvalho, 2014;Saleheen & Frossard, 2004). Waist circumference was significantly higher among the AMI group than in the control group as was found in other studies (Siddiqui, Gulati, Tauheed , Pervez, 2014). However, there was no statistical difference with respect to weight although the mean weight was higher in the AMI group.…”

Anaemia is a global health problem, whose development is influenced by several factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is among the factors associated with anaemia. Long term interruption of malaria transmission in the highland area of Kipsamoite led to an increase of haemoglobin levels in some few individuals. However, there are still reported cases of low Hb levels associated with anaemia. In studies that have been done on the role of H. pylori infections on anaemia, researchers hold varied views on whether or not H. pylori infections play a role in iron deficiency anaemia. This study investigated the association between H. pylori infections and anaemia in children aged 5-15 years in Western highland region of Kenya. The study adopted a case-control design and purposive sampling technique was used in selection of subjects. Haemoglobin levels and H. pylori occurrence were measured and entered into Microsoft excel. These data was summarized into descriptive statistics. Chisquare was used in hypotheses testing. A total of 105 participants were enrolled, 35 were cases and 70 were the controls. The mean haemoglobin level was found to be statistically significantly (p<0.00), haemoglobin of cases was lower (11.05 ± 1.726) than that of controls (13.01±1.897). The proportion of anaemic children among the cases was 77.1% (27) while the non-anaemic were 22.9% (8). The Chi-square showed positive statistical significant difference (p<0.05) between cases and controls. The study concluded that there was a great association between H. pylori infection and occurrence of anaemia in Western region of Kenya.

“…In a study, Hermsdorff et al, demonstrated that dietary antioxidant capacity was negatively and signi cantly correlated with waist circumference (WC) [20]. As well as, another study showed that high WHR is linked with increased oxidative stress and low concentration of antioxidant's enzyme [32]. Also, among young saudi females, adipose tissue and anthropometric measurements had strong positive association with oxidative stress [33].…”

Background: Obesity is an important preventable disease, which promotes the development of chronic disorders by altering several factors including oxidative stress. Dietary antioxidants protect the body against oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential association of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) index with obesity and its associated features in adults.Methods: participants were divided in two groups of normal weight and overweight /obesity. General characteristics were registered and a 147-item food frequency questionnaire was completed. Thereafter, anthropometric measurements were conducted. Biochemical indices were obtained from science and Research branch of Islamic Azad University of Tehran, Iran. The amount of the dietary ORAC index was estimated using the data provided by the USDA Foods Table.Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the normal and overweight/obese groups in terms of body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (P=0.0001). Participants with normal weight consumed more fruits and vegetables than another group. Also, the dietary ORAC index in normal individuals was higher than the case group, but there was not significant difference (P=0.352). There was also a significant inverse correlation between dietary ORAC and BMI and WHR, whereas a significant positive correlation between dietary ORAC and plasma HDL was observed (P<0.05).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that dietary antioxidants is inversely associated with BMI, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total Cholesterol and LDL in both groups. It seems that following a diet rich in antioxidants can counteract obesity and its associated comorbidities.

Correlation of Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Oxidative Stress in Patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: High Waist-to-hip ratio is associated with high concentrations of malondialdehyde level and low concentration of antioxidant's enzyme. This results in increased oxidative stress, a major causative factor of AMI.
