Central obesity
WC >90 cm in malesand >80 cm in females AUC 0.52±0.04 (0.45∼0.57)* 0.65±0.04 (0.58∼0.69)*
Cutofflevel 0.63 g/L 53.3/50.5% 670 ng/ml 58.1/56.3%

Note: Values expressed as AUC ± SE (95% confidence interval) and cutoff level, sensitivity/specificity.

Abbreviations: AUC, area under curve; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; WC: waist circumference; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR: waist-to-height ratio.

*

AUC of chemerin was greater than that of fetuin A (P = 0.02), which was estimated by means of nonparametric statistical analysis (DeLong test).
