Abstract

BILGIN-GOCER, Duygu; BAş, Murat; CAKıR-BICER, Nihan  and  HAJHAMIDIASL, Ladan. Predicting metabolic syndrome by visceral adiposity index, body roundness index, dysfunctional adiposity index, lipid accumulation product index, and body shape index in adults. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.4, pp.794-802.  Epub Oct 31, 2022. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03966.

Introduction:

the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome draws attention to the importance of detecting metabolic syndrome with practical methods in the early period.

Objectives:

to compare anthropometric measurements and indexes for prediction of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adults.

Methods:

the study was conducted with adults classified as MetS (n = 92) and a control group (n = 137) according to the International Diabetes Federation. Anthropometric measurements, visceral adiposity index (VAI), dysfunctional adiposity index (DAI), A body shape index (ABSI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), body roundness index (BRI), glucose, lipid biomarkers, and blood pressure (BP) levels were compared. A ROC analysis was performed.

Results:

MetS frequency was determined to be 40.2 % (n = 92). All biochemical parameters except high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and BP levels, all anthropometric measurements, and all index values except ABSI of the MetS group were higher than in the control group (p < 0.001). DAI had the highest discriminatory ability for MetS (AUC = 0.921). While the discriminatory ability of LAP was slightly lower (AUC = 0.915), ABSI had the lowest ability for MetS (AUC = 0.606).

Conclusion:

according to the study findings, MetS was found in almost half of individuals, and the LAP index and DAI can be used as predictive tools for early detection of MetS.
