model slightly increased the AUC to 0.78; adding low HDL cholesterol and/or high
triglycerides barely improved the model. The validation cohort demonstrated similar
results. Conclusions: A simple diabetes risk score, based on a set of variables not
requiring laboratory tests, can be used for early intervention to delay or prevent the
disease in Thailand. Adding impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance or
triglyceride and HDL cholesterol status to this model only modestly improves the
predictive ability.

Title : Obesity indices and cardiovascular risk factors in Thai adults.
Source : International Journal of Obesity. 30 (12): 1782 – 1790, 2006 (Dec).

Keywords : Body mass index, Waist circumference, Waist – to – hip ratio, Waist – to – height
ratio, Cardiovascular risk, Thai adults.
Abstract : Objective: To examine the relationship of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference
(WC), waist – to – hip ratio (WHpR) and waist – to – height ratio (WHtR) with
cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes in Thai population. Design: A national cross
– sectional survey of cardiovascular risk factors. Subjects: Five thousand and three
hundred five Thai adults aged >= 35 years. Measurements: Body weight, height,
waist and hip circumference and cardiovascular risk factors including blood pressure,
total plasma cholesterol, high – density lipoprotein, triglyceride and fasting plasma
glucose were measured. Age – and sex – specific means and prevalence of
cardiovascular risk factors were calculated and compared among anthropometric
measurements. Results: There were increasing trends of severity of cardiovascular
risk factors and prevalence of morbidity conditions across increasing levels of BMI,
WC, WHpR and WHtR categories. For age group >= 65 years, WC, WHpR and WHtR
provided more consistent association with cardiovascular risk factors than BMI. Area
under the curve indicated that measurement of central obesity could predict
cardiovascular risk better than BMI. The optimal cutoff points for anthropometric
measurements were in line with the Asia – Pacific recommendation; however, similar
cutoff point for men and women between 82 and 85cm was observed. Conclusion:
Central obesity indices were slightly better associated with cardiovascular risk factors
compared to BMI in Thai adults aged >= 35 years.

Title : The role of external beam radiotherapy in the management of bone metastases.
Source : Clinical Oncology. 18 (10): 747 – 760, 2006 (Dec).
Document Type : Article.
Keywords : Bone metastases, Bone pain, Cost – effectiveness, Pathological fracture, Radiotherapy,
Spinal canal compression.
Abstract : External beam radiotherapy is effective in the management of bone metastases for
both local and more widespread pain. It is effective in spinal canal compression and
pathological fracture where it also may have a prophylactic role. Single dose
radiotherapy for bone metastases is a highly cost effective palliative treatment.
