abstract = {Obesity is a worldwide health problem. We conducted
detailed analyses of anthropometric measures in a
comprehensive, population-based, current cohort in
Germany.In the German National Cohort (NAKO), we analyzed
cross-sectional data on body mass index (BMI), waist and hip
circumference, subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose
tissue (VAT) as measured by ultrasound, and body fat
percentage. The data were stratified by sex, age, and
self-reported physicians' diagnoses of cardiovascular
diseases (CVD), metabolic diseases (MetD), cardiometabolic
diseases (CMD), and cancer.Data were available from 204 751
participants (age, 49.9 ± 12.8 years; $50.5\%$ women). Body
size measures generally increased with age. Men had a higher
BMI, larger waist circumference, and more VAT than women,
while women had a larger hip circumference, more SAT, and a
higher body fat percentage than men. For example, the mean
BMI of participants over age 60 was 28.3 kg/m2 in men and
27.6 kg/m2 in women. CVD, MetD, and CMD were associated with
higher anthropometric values, while cancer was not. For
example, the mean BMI was 25.3 kg/m2 in healthy women, 29.4
kg/m2 in women with CMD, and 25.4 kg/m2 in women with
cancer.Obesity is widespread in Germany, with notable
differences between the sexes in anthro - pometric values.
Obesity was more common in older participants and those with
chronic diseases other than cancer. Elevated values were
especially common in multimorbid individuals.},
