Anthropometric Measurements and Cardiometabolic Indices

Anthropometric measurements included height, weight, WC, HC, BMI, WHR, WHtR, BAI, CI, and the two new indices—ABSI and BRI. The height of subjects was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm without shoes and weight was also measured to the nearest 0.1 kg with participants in light clothing. A bathroom scale (Zhongshan Camry Electronic Co. Ltd., Guangdong, China) was used to weigh the participants and their height was measured with a stadiometer (Seca 213 mobile stadiometer, Germany). During height measurement, participants stood upright with back straight, heels together, and their feet slightly apart at a 60° angle. Waist circumference (to the nearest 0.1 cm) was measured with a Gulick II spring-loaded measuring tape (Gay Mills, WI) halfway between the inferior angles of the ribs and the suprailiac crests. The hip circumference was measured at the widest diameter around the gluteal protuberance to the nearest 0.1 cm. The other anthropometric indices were calculated as follows:
BMI was calculated according to Quetelet’s formula (34 ):
CI was calculated from the formula (23 (link)):
The BAI was calculated from the formula (35 (link)):
ABSI was calculated from the formula (25 (link)):
BRI was calculated by the formula (26 (link)):

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
