Reliability of measurements performed by community-drawn anthropometrists from rural Ethiopia.
PLoS One 7(1):e30345 (2012) PMID 22291939
We trained individuals from rural communities in Ethiopia in anthropometry techniques and measured intra- and inter-observer reliability. We trained 6 individuals without prior anthropometry experience to perform weight, height, and middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements.... -
Why Levallois? A morphometric comparison of experimental 'preferential' Levallois flakes versus debitage flakes.
PLoS One 7(1):e29273 (2012) PMID 22291888
We assess the degree of standardization in PLFs compared to the flakes produced during their manufacture. PLFs possess specific properties that unite them robustly as a group or 'category' of flake. The properties that do so, relate most strongly to relative flake thicknesses across their surface ar... -

Comparison of adiposity measures as risk factors in postmenopausal women.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab 97(1):227-33 (2012) PMID 22031525
There is a continuing debate about which adiposity measure is the best risk factor. This study compared the associations of 14 health outcomes with combinations of four adiposity measures: body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist, and waist to height rat... -
Repeated measurements on individuals.
Phlebology 26(7):313-4 (2011) PMID 21983657

The metabolic syndrome--from insulin resistance to obesity and diabetes.
Med Clin North Am 95(5):855-73 (2011) PMID 21855696
In today's society with the escalating levels of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome is receiving considerable attention and is the subject of much controversy. Greater insight into the mechanism(s) behind the syndrome may improve our understanding o... -
Anthropometry and body composition of female handball players according to competitive level or the playing position.
J Sports Sci 29(12):1301-9 (2011) PMID 21767231
Anthropometry and body composition were investigated in 43 female handball players from the Italian championships, grouped according to their competitive level (elite vs. sub-elite) or their playing position [goalkeeper (n = 7), back (n = 14), wing (n = 18), or pivot (n = 4)]. The an... -
Ambulatory activity associations with cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in smokers.
J Phys Act Health 8(7):994-1003 (2011) PMID 21885891
We examined the association between ambulatory activity and biological markers of health in smokers. Baseline data from 985 subjects enrolled in a pharmacologic smoking cessation trial were examined. Body size, blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholester...
