Over the past two decades the world has experienced a sharp increase in the number of people with MetS. It is estimated that around 20--25 percent of the world's adult population now have metabolic syndrome.; Poisson regression analysis showed that race/ethnicity was an independent risk factor for having 3--4 MetS risk factors when controlling for age, education, gender, poverty level, having healthcare coverage, and having a personal doctor.; This study had three main aims: (1) to describe the epidemiology of obesity in Hawaii using standard and proposed ethnic specific BMI definitions of obesity, (2) to describe the epidemiology of clustered risk factors compatible with MetS among Hawaii's population using standard and proposed ethnic-specific BMI definitions of obesity, and to (3) to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios for clustered risk factors compatible with MetS.; This study provides a glimpse into the future burden Hawaii may be faced with as the prevalence of obesity and its associated conditions continue to rise.; This study used the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2001--2005) to examine the prevalence of weight status (obesity) and MetS in Hawaii. The findings confirmed what is already known---obesity rates are high and disparities exist. However, when ethnic specific case definitions of weight status were applied, a dramatic shift in the distribution of obesity emerged. For example, when using World Health Organization (WHO) BMI thresholds, the major Asian groups had obesity rates in the 10% range. Applying ethnic specific BMI thresholds, obesity prevalence among Asians increased into the mid 40% range.; When using WHO BMI definitions of obesity, the prevalence of 3--4 MetS risk factors ranged from a low of 2.7% ("Other Asians") to a high of 18.8% ("Other Pacific Islanders"), with a mean of 8.3%. When using ethnic specific definitions of obesity, the prevalence of 3--4 MetS risk factors ranged from a low of 3.6% (Blacks) to a high of 17.8% ("Other Pacific Islanders"), with a mean of 10.5%.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves xxx-xxx).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 85 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20875 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Hirokawa, Robert http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10546 Wed, 01 Dec 2004 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10546 2004-12-01T00:00:00Z Nekorchuk, Dawn M. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10545 Sat, 01 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10545 2004-05-01T00:00:00Z Shimizu, Sheri M. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10273 Typescript.; Bibliography: leaves [247]-255.; Microfilm.; Photocopy.; xi, 255 leaves, bound ill. 29 cm Thu, 01 Jan 1987 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10273 1987-01-01T00:00:00Z Oshiro, Raymond Shigeru http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10272 Typescript.; Thesis (Dr.P.H.)--University of Hawaii, 1986.; Bibliography: leaves [302]-313.; xxi, 313 leaves, bound ill., maps 29 cm Wed, 01 Jan 1986 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10272 1986-01-01T00:00:00Z Suwandono, Agus http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10271 Thesis (D.P.H.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1996.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 83-108).; Microfiche.; vii, 108 leaves, bound 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 1996 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10271 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Sanderson, Ronald R http://hdl.handle.net/10125/10270 Thesis (D.
