Anthropometric indicators of adiposity used in this study, reference, and equation for calculation.
| Measure | Author (year) | Equation |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropometric indicators of adiposity related to body weight | ||
| Body mass index (BMI) | Gysel (1974) [31] | BMI = body weight (kg)/height (m)2 |
| New body mass index (New BMI) | Van Vugt et al. (2015) [82] | New BMI = 1.3 × (weight (kg)/height (m)2) |
| Clinica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator (CUN-BAE) | Gomez-Ambrosi et al. (2012) [129] | BF% = −44.988 + (0.503 × age (years)) + (10.689 × sex) + (3.172 × BMI (kg/m2))−(0.026 × BMI2 (kg/m2)) + (0.181 × BMI (kg/m2) × sex) − (0.02 × BMI (kg/m2) × age) − (0.005 × BMI2 (kg/m2) × sex) + (0.00021 × BMI2 (kg/m2) × age), where male = 0 and female = 1 |

| Anthropometric indicators of adiposity related to body shape | ||
| Waist circumference (WC) | WHO (2008) [37] | Circumference of the waist measured in standardized position as advised by the WHO (cm) |
| Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) | WHO (2008) [37] | WHR = waist circumference (cm)/hip circumference (cm) |
| Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) | Ashwell (1995) [46] | WHtR = waist circumference (cm)/height (cm) |
| Body Adiposity Index (BAI) | Bergman et al. (2011) [83] | BAI (percentage body fat, BF%) = (hip circumference (cm)/height (m)1.5) − 18. |
| A Body Shape Index (ABSI) | Krakauer and Krakauer (2012) [134] | ABSI = waist circumference (cm)/(BMI (kg/m2)0.66 × height (m)0.5) |
