Correlation of salivary biomarkers with anthropometric indices for cardio-metabolic risk screening in professional undergraduates

Introduction and Aim: The onset of cardio metabolic disorders in the later parts adult life requires development early screening techniques. current study is an approach to design evaluate easy-to-use method for diagnosis disorders. Materials Methods: was performed after institutional ethical approval. Fifty-two healthy but, obese volunteers aged 17-25 years with BMI ?25.0 were included. Salivary cortisol level estimated by ELISA. ?-amylase measured kinetic enzyme assay. Data expressed as Mean ± SD. association between anthropometric parameters salivary amylase done Pearson correlation test. p value< 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: male female subjects did not show significant (p>0.05) except BMI. Similarly, Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), A body shape index (ABSI), Body Round Index (BRI) Physical Fitness (PFI). Waist hip (WHR) found be significantly correlated (p=0.01) whereas, fat % negatively level. Conclusion: newly proposed such WHtR, ABSI, BRI, PFI proved ideal prediction both genders.
