Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for prediction of coronary artery disease (CAD) with anthropometric measures and ultrasonographically obtained epicaradial and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness.
| Tested variable | AUC | p | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMI | 0.605 | 0.082 | 0.481–0.729 |
| Waist circumference | 0.688 | 0.002 | 0.579–0.797 |
| Hip circumference | 0.643 | 0.018 | 0.528–0.758 |
| Waist-to-hip ratio | 0.657 | 0.009 | 0.545–0.770 |
| Waist-to-height ratio | 0.673 | 0.004 | 0.559–0.786 |
| EAT thickness | 0.658 | 0.009 | 0.548–0.768 |

Overall logistic regression model for CAD classification with anthropometric measures and EAT and SAT as predictor variables was tested with ROC analysis. AUC: area under curve; CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; EAT: epicardial adipose tissue; SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as ≥50% narrowing of one or more arteries.
