Adiposity index was calculated as the ratio between RFP weight and body weight.
Adiposity index was calculated as: sum of fat pads/[(body weight-fat pad weight)×100].
Adiposity index (AD) was calculated from the sum of the individual fat pad weights: [epididymal fat (EF) + retroperitoneal fat (RPF)]/(body weight – sum of fat pads) × 100 [ 14].
The adiposity index was calculated as the combined adipose tissue weight/carcass body weight × 100%%.
Visceral adiposity index (VAI), a simple formula representing visceral adipose dysfunction, has already been proven to have a strong correlation with various cardiometabolic disorders.
The waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is an easy and inexpensive adiposity index that reflects central obesity.
This study examines the ability of the body adiposity index to estimate percent body fat in a mixed sample of adolescents.
Additionally, the sensitivity of the body adiposity index to identify adolescents with increased health risk (i.e., high waist circumference) was determined and compared to other anthropometric indicators of health (skinfolds and body mass index).
OBJECTIVE: To interrogate an a priori list of 47 (32 overall body mass and 15 central adiposity) index single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously studied in individuals of European descent among 3494 US Hispanic women in the Women's Health Initiative SNP Health Association Resource WHI SHARee).
It remained consistently replicated in the final model after adjustments for sex, age, systolic blood pressure, socio-economic status, lifestyle factors, and obesity-related measurements (body mass index, waist hip ratio, body fat percentage, and body adiposity index), showing an increased T2D risk with an additive effect of the alleles (ORs per A allele = 1.80 1.92, 95% CI = 1.09 3.19, P < 0.05).
These changes in histology are reflected in changes in body weight and adiposity index (Fig. 1B).
