Many cross- sectional studies have shown that, even within the normal BMI range, many adults have WHtR which is above 0.5. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] [ 26 ] Many children show the same phenomenon. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] Risk factors for metabolic diseases [ 35 ] [ 38 ] and mortality are raised in these subjects.
The reference range provided by the particular lab that performed the testing should always be used to interpret the results. [3] Also, some healthy people may have values outside of the "normal" range provided by any lab. [citation needed] Modern analyzers use ion-selective electrodes which give a normal anion gap as <11 mEq/L. Therefore ...

[66] Adult Latino men's rate was 43.1%, the highest of all males. For adult Latina women the rate was 50.6%, making them second to African-American women. [67]
The normal white cell count is usually between 4 × 10 9 /L and 1.1 × 10 10 /L. In the US, this is usually expressed as 4,000 to 11,000 white blood cells per microliter of blood. [7] White blood cells make up approximately 1% of the total blood volume in a healthy adult, [8] making them substantially less numerous than the red blood cells at ...
An elderly Tibetan woman holding a prayer wheel demonstrates the continuity theory. Despite their age, older adults generally maintain the same traditions and beliefs. The continuity theory of normal aging states that older adults will usually maintain the same activities, behaviors, relationships as they did in their earlier years of life. [1]
V̇O 2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion. [1] [2] The name is derived from three abbreviations: "V̇" for volume (the dot over the V indicates "per unit of time" in Newton's notation), "O 2" for oxygen, and "max" for maximum and usually normalized per kilogram of ...
The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]
At the turn of the 20th century trade and immigration between Mexico and the United States was a normal part of society. [2] The development of the St. Louis, Brownsville, and Mexico Railway in 1903 and the irrigation of the Rio Grande allowed the Rio Grande Valley to develop into profitable farmland. [ 20 ]
