Table 1.

Cardiovascular and obesity indices calculation.

Parameter Formula Reference
Mean arterial pressure MAP = diastolic blood pressure (DBP) + 1/3 [systolic blood pressure (SBP) − DBP]. [25]
Body adiposity index BAI = (Hip circumference [HC] in centimeters)/((height in meters)1.5) − 18). [26]
Waist-to-Hip Ratio WHR = Waist circumference (WC) in centimeters ÷ HC in centimeters. [27]
Body Mass Index (kg/m2) BMI = (weight in kilograms)/(the squared height in meters). [24]
Body fat percentage BFP = (1.20 × BMI) + (0.23 × age) − (10.8 × sex) − 5.4, (sex: females = 0, males = 1). [28]
Basal Metabolic Rate (kcal/day) Men BMR = 66.5 + (13.8 × weight) + (5.0 × height) − (6.8 × age). [29]

kcal/day = kilocalories per day.
