CVD-predictive performances of “a body shape index” versus simple anthropometric measures: Tehran lipid and glucose study
Abstract
To examine whether a body shape index (ABSI) calculated by using waist circumference (WC) adjusted for height and weight could improve the predictive performances for cardiovascular disease (CVD) of the Framingham’s general CVD algorithm and to compare its predictive performances with other anthropometric measures. We analyzed data on a 10-year population-based follow-up of 8,248 (4,471 women) individuals aged ≥30 years, free of CVD at baseline....
