Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Interdisciplinary Intervention in Patients With Obesity and Other Metabolic Diseases
STUDY INFORMATION OFFICIAL TITLE: Interdisciplinary Intervention Project - Promotion and Rehabilitation in Patients With Obesity and Other Metabolic Diseases CURRENT STATUS: Completed STUDY TYPE: Interventional
Article Description
Background: Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is a prothrombotic adipokine involved in the coagulation cascade and fibrinolysis that associated with proinflammatory adipokines may increase the risk related to obesity. Anthropometric measures are commonly used in clinical practice and, currently, neck circumference (NC) has been used as a marker of cardiovascular risk that can favour inflammatory factors. Objective: To verify the possible correlations between prothrombotic and pro/anti-inflammatory markers with anthropometric measurements in obese. Subjects and methods: A total of 43 obese adults were enrolled. The variables include body mass, stature, body mass index (BMI), NC, chest circumference (CC), abdominal circumference (AC), hip circumference (HC), blood pressure and blood collection used to assess the level of adipokines. Results: The sample was stratified by BMI. PAI-1 levels were positively correlated with body mass (r = 0.31, p = 0.04), NC (r = 0.43, p = 0.004), CC (r = 0.40, p = 0.004), AC (r = 0.37, p = 0.01), diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.35, p = 0.03), leptin/adiponectin ratio (r = 0.36, p = 0.01) and negatively correlated with adiponectin (r = -0.34, p = 0.02). In stepwise multiple linear regression analysis, NC showed to be an independent predictor to PAI-1 when adjusted for gender and BMI, according to the age (β = 0.47, p = 0.02 and β = 0.42, p = 0.02 respectively). Conclusion: In conclusion, NC could be suggested as an independent predictor higher PAI-1. This association can be a new screening of persons at an enhanced cardiovascular risk and inflammation in this obese population, so useful in clinical practice. © 2013 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
