文摘

A body shape index (ABSI) is based on waist circumference adjusted for height and weight. ABSI appeared to be a substantial risk factor for premature mortality in a US population. ABSI was the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality among the anthropometric measurements, except women's waist-to-hip ratio in an Iranian population. ABSI failed to improve the predictive ability of Framingham general cardiovascular disease algorithm.
