Association between MUAC and subclinical atherosclerosis according to combined categories of BMI and WC. (A) MUAC in the BMI and WC subgroups in women. (B) Association of MUAC with risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in the BMI and WC subgroups in women. Adjusted for age (years), body mass index (kg/m²), current smoking (yes or no), current drinking (yes or no), physical activity (MET-hour/week), WC (cm), C-reactive protein (mg/L), total cholesterol (mmol/L), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (mmol/L), triglycerides (mmol/L), fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) and systolic blood pressure (mm Hg). BMI, body mass index; MET, metabolic equivalent task; MUAC, mid-upper arm circumference; WC, waist circumference.
