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 کاملLipid Accumulation Product and Waist-to-height Ratio Are Predictors of the Metabolic Syndrome in a Nigerian Male Geriatric Population
Objective: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) describes a clinical constellation of distinct but interrelated abnormalities that have been linked to many cardio-metabolic diseases which result in increased morbidity and mortality. Several indices have been developed to predict cardio-metabolic diseases. This study evaluated the accuracy of such indices as the lipid accumulation product (LAP), viscer...
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 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 کامل[Waist-height ratio compared to other anthropometric indicators of obesity as predictors of high coronary risk].
OBJECTIVE This study compares the waist-height ratio (WHTR) with other anthropometric indicators of obesity: waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), conicity index (Index C), and body mass index (BMI)) to discriminate the level of coronary risk (HCR). METHOD A cross sectional study of a subgroup of participants in the project 'Monitoring of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes in ...
