Association of Tri-Ponderal Mass Index vs Body Mass Index With Mid-Upper Arm Circumference Among Adolescent Girls


 Introduction: Since 2017, number of studies involving nutritional status adolescents using a novel parameter named tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) is soaring high. The concept TMI was formulated to substitute body (BMI) in case adolescent population. present study aims find values school-going girls (aged 10 19 years). It also compare the association and BMI with mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) subjects.
 Methods: Height, weight MUAC were measured standard procedures. accordingly calculated. data obtained tabulated elucidate age-wise descriptive statistics. Quadratic polynomial regression employed yield general conclusion regarding subjects. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve plotted check which two indices, or TMI, has better ability predict higher Results: ROC-area under (AUC) 0.867 0.955 for respectively.
 Conclusion: MUAC. In comparison superior predicting
