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 کاملA novel cutoff for the waist-to-height ratio predicting metabolic syndrome in young American adults
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown the enhanced diagnostic capability of the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) over BMI. However, while a structured cutoff hierarchy has been established for BMI, a rigorous analysis to define individuals as obese using the WHtR has not been performed on a sample of American adults. This study attempts to establish a cutoff for the WHtR using metabolic syndrome as ...
متن کاملWaist to height ratio; a simple and valid index for metabolic syndrome in Korean adolescents
The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasing in adolescents, which can lead to major health threats in the future. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) are commonly used for identifying adolescents at higher risk for MS, but BMI is not a measure of fat distribution, and different BMI and WC cut offs are used according to age. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) can be a good in...
متن کاملthe discriminatory performance of body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-height ratio for detection of metabolic syndrome and their optimal cutoffs among iranian adults
background: the superiority of either of body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc), waist-to-hip ratio (whr) and waist-to-height ratio (whtr) for prediction of metabolic syndrome (mets) is remained controversial in asian population. the objective of this study was to compare the discriminative capacity of either of these measures in prediction of non-adipose components of mets. methods: i...
متن کاملWaist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-height ratio reference percentiles for abdominal obesity among Greek adolescents
BACKGROUND Indices predictive of adolescent central obesity include waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Such reference data are lacking for Greek adolescents. The aim of this study was to develop age- and gender-specific WC, WHR and WHtR smoothed reference percentiles for abdominal obesity among Greek adolescents aged 12-17 years, to investigate ...
