Results of ROC curve analyses and Youden cutoff values for identifying obesity and overweight in consideration of sex
| Obesity | AUC | Sensitivity/specificity | Silhouette cutoff value for obesity | Youden index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 0.885 (95% CI 0.848; 0.921) | 0.92/0.76 | ≥6 | 0.68 |
| Women | 0.919 (95% CI 0.891; 0.948) | 0.80/0.89 | ≥6 | 0.69 |
| Overweight | AUC | Sensitivity/ specificity | Silhouette cutoff value for overweight | Youden index |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 0.706 (95% CI 0.661; 0.751) | 0.88/0.69 | ≥5 | 0.57 |
| Women | 0.762 (95% CI 0.723; 0.801) | 0.86/0.79 | ≥5 | 0.65 |
AUC, area under the curve; ROC, receiver operating characteristic. Youden Index is defined as sensitivity plus specificity minus 1 [16].
