Obesity Index That Better Predict Metabolic Syndrome: Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, Waist Hip Ratio, or Waist Height Ratio
AIM The aim was to compare body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist hip ratio (WHR), and waist height ratio (WHtR) to identify the best predictor of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Qatari adult population. METHODS A cross-sectional survey from April 2011 to December 2012. Data was collected from 1552 participants followed by blood sampling. MetS was defined according to Third Ad...
متن کاملCorrelation of dyslipidemia with waist to height ratio, waist circumference, and body mass index in Iranian adults.
Overweight and obesity are increasing problems in many countries and are related to multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Although imaging techniques can determine total body fat and its distribution reliably, anthropometric measurements remain important in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between some anthropometric measurements and dyslipidemia as ...
متن کاملPredicting waist circumference from body mass index
BACKGROUND Being overweight or obese increases risk for cardiometabolic disorders. Although both body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) measure the level of overweight and obesity, WC may be more important because of its closer relationship to total body fat. Because WC is typically not assessed in clinical practice, this study sought to develop and verify a model to predict WC from...
متن کاملBody mass index, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio cut-off points for categorisation of obesity among Omani Arabs.
BACKGROUND There are no data on optimal cut-off points to classify obesity among Omani Arabs. The existing cut-off points were obtained from studies of European populations. OBJECTIVE To determine gender-specific optimal cut-off points for body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) associated with elevated prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among Oma...
متن کاملWaist circumference, waist to hip ratio, and body mass index in the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in Nigerian subjects.
Metabolic syndrome is the commonest controllable precursor of cardiovascular and end stage renal diseases. While central obesity is recognized universally as its strongest component, there is the need for an accurate and affordable tool to screen for the presence of metabolic syndrome in every community. The easiest and cheapest measures of obesity are the body mass index (BMI), waist circumfer...
