Body Adiposity Index and Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors in Korean Adults: A Comparison with Body Mass Index and Other Parameters

Abstract: A new body adiposity index (BAI) has been proposed that is expected to replace body mass index (BMI). We evaluated the correlations between metabolic syndrome risk factors and BAI, BMI, and other adiposity indices, such as waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), by sex in the Korean population. We also evaluated whether BAI would be useful to diagnose metabolic syndrome. A total of 20,961 Korean adults who underwent health examinations were included in this study. … Show more

“…The BAI had the highest specificity value, thus being able to identify subjects without MetS more precisely, but had an extremely low sensitivity. These results are consistent with those already reported in other studies, where the BAI index was less accurate for the diagnosis of MetS [26,[58][59][60].…”
