摘要: Objective: Anthropometric indices are valid proxies for predicting the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases across age groups gender. The objective present work was to study some anthropometric measures body mass adiposity in male Nigerian adolescents. Methods: In a population adolescents (n=400; age: 13-19 years), data collected standing height, weight circumferences (hip, waist, neck, mid-upper arm); index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHpR) height (WHtR) were then calculated. Moreover, using Pearson's correlation coefficient, we studied association between BMI other variables. Results: Average 18.38 kg/m2 adolescent males aged 13-15 years (n=217), 19.03 16-19 (n=183). former category (13-15 as measure best positively significantly associated with arm circumference (MUAC) (r=0.673, p<0.01), while older (16-19 strongly associates (HC). Conclusion: Findings indicate that Nigerians, MUAC serves an alternative early adolescence years); HC is proxy BMI, may be substitute this cardiometabolic Nigerians years). It recommended age- sex-specific cut off values neck (NC) determined among different nationals. it pertinent characterize associate factors specific subpopulations. Keywords: Anthropometry, adolescence,
