DeLong et al’s non-parametric approach was used to compare the AUCs of indices.

*Compared with the AUC of waist circumference, p is less than 0.05.

ABSI, a body shape index; AVI, abdominal volume index; AUC, area under the curve; BAI, body adiposity index; BMI, body mass index; BRI, body roundness index; CI, conicity; MetS, metabolic syndrome; VAI, visceral adiposity index.; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio.
