Cross-sectional study demonstrates the utility of obesity indices for metabolic syndrome risk in adults, highlighting the visceral adiposity index as a key predictor.
Objective Metabolic syndrome is common endocrine disease worldwide. Anthropometric measurements and obesity-related indices can be used effectively in its diagnosis. This study investigates the use of obesity-related indices in defining metabolic syndrome. Methods Cross-sectional data from 2,720 young and middle-aged individuals were analyzed. A body shape index, abdominal volume index, body adiposity index, body roundness index, conicity index, lipid accumulation product, visceral adiposity index, and waist-triglyceride index were evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed. Results The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) values for the risk of metabolic syndrome were 1.035 (1.021-1.049) for waist-triglyceride index, 1.045 (1.012-1.079) for body adiposity index (p0.05), 1.084 (1.051-1.119) for lipid accumulation product, and 5.789 (4.536-7.388) for visceral adiposity index (No-BreakpNo-Break0.001). Conclusion It was concluded that waist-triglyceride index, body adiposity index, lipid accumulation product, and visceral adiposity index can be used as alternatives for identifying metabolic syndrome in adults. Cut-off values for waist-triglyceride index, lipid accumulation product, and visceral adiposity index indices were found for the presence of metabolic syndrome.

Şanlıer et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=2,720). Obesity-related indices (including visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product, body adiposity index, and waist-triglyceride index) was evaluated on Presence of metabolic syndrome (OR 5.789, 95% CI 4.536-7.388, p=<0.001). Visceral adiposity index was strongly associated with metabolic syndrome risk (OR 5.789; 95% CI 4.536-7.388; p<0.001), alongside lipid accumulation product, body adiposity, and waist-triglyceride indices.
