WC [waist circumference] and calf circumference(CC) are simple and non-invasive measures that have been proposed as markers of adiposity and muscle mass, respectively, and have been used to assess frailty... The waist-calf circumference ratio(WCR) is [an] index that combines both measures, serving as an effective method for evaluating the imbalance between abdominal fat and leg muscle mass. WCR has been proposed as a reliable predictor of cognitive impairment..., carotid atherosclerosis..., and health-related quality of life..., and has been shown to be a superior predictor of health outcomes compared to BMI [body mass index], WC, or CC alone.  3, record 1, English, - waist%2Dcalf%20circumference%20ratio

According to the NIH [National Institutes of Health] guidelines, individuals are stratified into six weight classes depending solely on their BMI [body mass index]: underweight (BMI [less than] 18.5), normal weight (BMI: 18.5-24.9), overweight (BMI: 25.0-29.9), moderate obesity (BMI: 30.0-34.9), severe obesity (BMI: 35.0-40.0), and extreme obesity (BMI: 40.0+).  9, record 4, English, - morbid%20obesity

Morbid obesity, also referred to as clinically severe obesity or extreme obesity, is a chronic disease that afflicts approximately 9 million adult Americans.... The morbidity and mortality risk from being overweight is proportional to its degree. Individuals with morbid obesity, therefore, have the highest risk for developing numerous illnesses that often reduce mobility and quality of life due to their excess weight. In particular, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease and osteoarthritis have been found to increase concurrently with higher BMI [body mass index]. Premature death, a 20-year shorter life span, has also been found in individuals with morbid obesity. All of the systems that make the body function are affected by morbid obesity.  10, record 4, English, - morbid%20obesity

One of the main differences between the approach of the genuine progress index and that of the GDP [gross domestic product] is that the GDP measures short-term quantitative growth, while the GPI measures qualitative development with a long-term perspective. While the GDP aggregates all economic activity without distinguishing benefit or harm to quality of life, an index of sustainable development estimates the differing benefits and costs of alternative economic activities, to assist decision makers in prioritizing policy alternatives on the basis of accurate information.  1, record 9, English, - genuine%20progress%20index

Numerical Habitat Models (NHM) have been developed to predict fish habitat quantity, quality and distribution under different flow regimes found in rivers. These models depend on the estimation of an Habitat Quality Index (HQI) at the scale of fish microhabitat. One of the problems of NHM is that mathematical constructs to estimate HQI in one river may not be applicable to other rivers. Hence, HQI are not transferable among rivers. The most common measures of HQI are based on indices of preference of fish for specific ranges of water depth, current speed and substrate composition (referred to as Habitat Suitability Indices; HSI).  5, record 12, English, - habitat%20quality%20index

L'IQH ne sous-entend pas une certaine densité de population pour chaque classe d'habitat, c'est-à-dire que l'IQH ne donne pas une projection de la densité d'individus possible que l'on peut trouver dans un peuplement, mais il détermine la valeur de ce peuplement en termes d'habitats pour certaines espèces.  1, record 12, French, - indice%20de%20qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27habitat

""DINOFLAJ is a database system containing a current classification of fossil and living dinoflagellates down to generic rank, and an index of fossil dinoflagellates at generic, specific, and infraspecific ranks. Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms that have two distinctive flagella during at least part of their life cycle and/or a special type of nucleus called a dinokaryon. They are probably best known as a principal cause of "red tides" and paralytic shellfish poisoning. A glossary and an extensive list of references for modern and fossil dinoflagellate taxonomic references are included, and all information is hyperlinked for convenient browsing. The system is available in two forms : a web site and a CD-ROM version. ""As of October 1, 1998, the full version of DINOFLAJ will be available online or on CD-ROM.
