摘要: Waist circumference has been widely used as the parameter of central obesity in defining metabolic syndrome. Global consensus definition syndrome suggested various race- and gender-specific cutoffs waist for quantifying obesity. We have earlier proposed that using index (ICO), need may be obviated. propose supplanted with all definitions Using a common cutoff 0.5 applicable across races genders might obtained. Moreover, it will enhance sensitivity by diagnosing subjects who are shorter than general population. Among 258 male 242 female diabetic patients, (defined per cutoffs), were found to lower range suggesting In another study from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey database, replacing was specificity
