Kahn HS, et al. - The assumption explored herein was that height-corrected abdominal size (supine sagittal abdominal diameter/height ratio [SADHtR] or waist circumference/height ratio [WHtR]) would correlate more strongly than body mass index (BMI, weight/height²) with levels of fasting insulin, triglycerides, and three derived biomarkers of insulin resistance. Instead of relative weight, relative abdominal size rather could better define adiposity associated with homeostatic insulin resistance. The yielded data could improve anthropometric prediction of cardiometabolic risk.
