TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian hierarchical model was used to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and the proportion of people with hypertension who had a previous diagnosis (detection), who were taking medication for hypertension (treatment), and whose hypertension was controlled to below 140/90 mm Hg (control).

TL;DR: Girls in South Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and some central Asian countries and boys in central and western Europe had the healthiest changes in anthropometric status over the past 3·5 decades because, compared with children and adolescents in other countries, they had a much larger gain in height than they did in BMI.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the proposed models can predict pressure–area dynamics and that model parameters can be extracted for further interpretation of biomechanical properties and indicates that optimal model selection depends on the artery type.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants.

TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian model was used to estimate trends in body-mass index (BMI), obesity, blood pressure, raised blood pressure (RBP) and diabetes in the Americas, 1980-2014.
