Assessing body shape index as a risk predictor for cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome among Iranian adults
2014, NutritionCitation Excerpt :Although, CUN-BAE seems to be a good predictor of body fat percentage, the present study shows that it cannot be the best predictor of CVD risks among Iranian populations. More possible reasons for such inconsistency among different studies might be the ethnic descent [50], population dependency for the ability of WC to predict CVD risks [48], which varies from race to race [51]. Furthermore, measuring WC by using different methods, different definitions of dyslipidemia, assessing different age and BMI range or sex, may be other sources for discrepancies among different studies.
