Abstract

Background: Central body fat is a better predictor than overall body fat for cardiovascular risk factors in both adults and children. Waist circumference/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">Waist circumference has been used as a proxy measure of central body fat; and Waist-to-height ratio has been proposed as an alternative, conveniently age-independent measure of cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this research was to compared Waist circumference/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">Waist circumference, Waist-to-hip ratio and Waist-to-stature ratio in predicting overweight / obese male students. Methods: Subjects were new entrants male students from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad with range of 18-22 years. Height, weight, body mass index, Waist circumference/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">Waist circumference, hip circumference, Waist-to-hip ratio and Waist-to-stature ratio barefoot and with minimal clothing were measured. Data were analyzed by ANOVA test and ROC analysis. Results: Mean Waist circumference/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">Waist circumference, Waist-to-hip ratio, Waist-to-height ratio in different groups of BMI was significant. Area under the curve for WC (p=0. 003) and WHtR (p=0. 013) had significant difference, but WHR was not significant (p=0. 335). Conclusion: WC and WHtR are better indices than WHR to detect in overweight and obesity; however WC is the index applicable for clinical practice because it is easier to measure than the other two indices and is low cost.
