Waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) is superior to body mass index and waist circumference for
measuring adult cardio‐metabolic risk factors. However, there is no meta‐analysis to …

The waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), calculated by dividing the waist circumference (WC) by
height, has recently gained attention as an anthropometric index for central adiposity. It is an …

A centralized deposit of adiposity increases the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Several
anthropometric markers can be used to characterize fat distribution. In the case of severe …

The present systematic review with meta‐analysis sought to estimate the accuracy of
different waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) cutoff ranges as risk indicators for cardiometabolic …

Frequently reported poor dietary habits of young adults increase their risk of metabolic
syndrome (MetS). Excess adiposity is the most established predictor of MetS, and numerous …

Objective To compare the performance of different anthropometric indices including body
mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and a body shape …

Introduction Waist circumference-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a simple anthropometric index
with good screening power and fast interpretation for early detection of childhood abdominal …

The most common tools used to screen for abdominal obesity are waist circumference (WC)
and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR); the latter may represent a more suitable tool for the general …

Background Waist circumference has been suggested as predictor for metabolic syndrome
(MetS) in adolescents but it has not been compared with newly proposed anthropometric …

Objectives This study aimed to assess the accuracy of body mass index (BMI) percentile,
waist circumference (WC) percentile, waist-height ratio, and waist-hip ratio for identifying …
