      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.},
