Spearman's correlation coefficients among five anthropometric measurements of adiposity (general, central and peripheral).

Adiposity indices	Adiposity indices
	W/H	BMI	WC	WHR	TRSKF
W/H	—	0.97*	0.83*	0.30*	0.59*
BMI	—	—	0.81*	0.32*	0.62*

*P < 0.001.

BMI = body mass index; WC = waist circumference; W/H = weight–height ratio; WHR = waist–hip ratio; TRSKF = triceps skinfold thickness.
