Table 1. Different anthropometric indices and their corresponding formulas.

WHR = waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR = waist-to-height ratio; WC = waist circumference; HC = hip circumference; NC = neck circumference; ABSI = a body shape index.

Anthropometric index	Formula
BMI	(weight in kilograms/height in meters)2
WHR	WC/HC
WHtR	WC/height in centimeters
NC	NC
ABSI	WC/(BMI(2/3) x height(1/2))
