Formulas to calculate traditional and novel anthropometric indices and cut-off considered in this study.
| Anthropometric indices | Formula | Cut-off |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional anthropometric indices | ||
| BMI | weight (kg)/height2 (m) | 30 ≥ kg/m2 |
| WHR | WC (cm)/HC (cm) | > 0.85 women; > 0.94 men |
| WHtR | WC (cm)/height (cm) | > 0.5 |
| Novel anthropometric indices | ||
| ABSI | WC (m)/(BMI2/3(kg/m2) · Height1/2 (m)) | ≥0.00866a |
| AVI | (2 · WC2 (cm) + 0.7(WC – HC)2 (cm)/1000 | ≥23.89 a |
| BAI | BAI = [HC (m)/Height2/3(m)] – 18 | ≥ 36.40 a |
| BRI | 364.2–365.5 [1- π−2 WC2 (m) · Height−2 (m)]1/2 | ≥ 6.96 a |
| CI | 0.109−1 WC (m) [Weight (kg)/Height (m)]−1/2 | ≥ 1.39 a |
| CUN-BAE | (3.1723 · BMI) – (0.026 · BMI2) + (0.181· BMI · sex) – (0.02 · BMI · age) – (0.005 · BMI2 · sex) + (0.00021 · BMI2 · age) | ≥ 41.70 a |
| WWI | WC/ | ≥ 11.92 a |

Due to the non-existence of cutoff points for the new anthropometric indices, the highest quartile values were considered.
ABSI, a body shape index; AVI, abdominal volume index; BAI, body adiposity index; BMI, body mass index; BRI, body roundness index; CI, conicity index; CUN-BAE, Clínica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator; HC: Hip circumference; WC: Waist circumference; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio; WWI, weigh adjusted waist index.
