Objective Anthropometric indices to obesity were evaluated as predictors of metabolic
syndrome risk factors. Our purpose was to explore an optimal or more reliable …

Background The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide with a
marked impact in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes risk. Aim of the study To …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To explore the ability of waist circumference (WC), body mass
index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) to predict two or more non-adipose components of …

Background To compare the accuracy of different obesity indexes, including waist
circumference (WC), weight-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), and lipid …

Objectives. To compare the predictive ability of six anthropometric indices for identification of
metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to determine their optimal cut‐off points among Chinese …

Criteria of obesity in the Chinese population with multiple metabolic risk factors remains
unclear. The objective was to determine the best anthropometrical measurements with …

Objectives To examine whether waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) performed better than, body
mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC) in relation to hypertension, diabetes, and …

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in non-overweight/obese people is
insidiously associated with cardiovascular disease. Novel anthropometric indices can reflect …

Abstract Aims/Introduction Obesity plays a central role in metabolic syndrome. Obesity
indexes are important in clinical work. In the present study, we sought to determine the …

There is little consensus on the best obesity index associated with metabolic risk factors
among the population with normal both body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference …
