摘要：Objective: To examine the efficiency of anthropometric indicators
of abdominal obesity in order to identify physiometabolic
disorders in Spanish adults.
Method: We analyzed 3,122 women and 2,103 men attending
diet consultation and registered their height, weight
and umbilical perimeter. Body mass index (BMI), body roundness
(BRI), body shape (ABSI) and waist to height ratio
(WHtR) were estimated. Blood pressure and serum levels of
glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides were taken. ROC curves
were applied to compare the utility of anthropometric indices
in the diagnosis of physio-metabolic disorders.
Results: The BRI and the WHtR showed the largest areas
under the curve (AUC) for the identification of hypertension,
hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia in both sexes and
for hypertriglyceridemia in men. The ABSI presented AUCs
below the BMI for the diagnosis of all components.
Conclusions: Due to its diagnostic efficiency and ease of
calculation, the waist to height ratio is the most recommended
parameter in the prediction of physio-metabolic alterations.
