the zagreb indices are the oldest graph invariants used in mathematical chemistry to predictthe chemical phenomena. in this paper we define the multiple versions of zagreb indicesbased on degrees of vertices in a given graph and then we compute the first and secondextremal graphs for them.

Background: Evaluation of fat distribution is a way to assessment of physical health. Waist to Hip Ratio and waist circumference are the simplest anthropometric measurements to be used to determine the obesity and related disorders in pregnancy.
