Key result
A Body Shape Index (ABSI) showed a significant positive correlation with Framingham (r = 0.297) and PRCAE (r = 0.305) cardiovascular risk scores in individuals with obesity.
Why the study?
This study aimed to evaluate a body shape index in individuals with obesity to determine the role of these measurements in cardiovascular risk prediction.

Does a body shape index (ABSI) correlate with established cardiovascular risk scores in individuals with obesity?
A body shape index (ABSI) significantly correlates with established cardiovascular risk scores (Framingham, PRCAE, SCORE) in individuals with obesity, suggesting its potential utility in risk prediction.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
ABSI may support CV risk estimation in obesity; leaves open its incremental value over standard scores.
Introduction: Cardio-metabolic risks are tested to show various anthropometric measurements. This study aimed to evaluate a body shape index (ABSI) of individuals with obesity to determine the role of these measurements in cardiovascular risk prediction. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 368 patients who were evaluated by the researcher in the polyclinic. Sociodemographic information was obtained, and anthropometric measurements were made. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and ABSI were evaluated in all patients. The patient’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease was calculated from the pooled cohort equations risk calculator (PRCAE), Framingham risk score, and systematic coronary risk evaluation (SCORE) risk calculation systems. Results: Of the 368 patients in the study, 302 (82.1%) were females, and 66 (17.9%) were males. The average age of participants was 46.2 ± 12.0 years. The median BMI of participants was 37.5 (34.0-42.4) kg/m2. The median ABSI of participants was 0.0816 (0.0775-0.0849). A positive correlation was found between ABSI and Framingham risk score and PRCAE risk score (r = 0.297, p = 0.000 and r = 0.305, p = 0.000, respectively). A significant relationship was found between ABSI and Framingham, PRCAE, and SCORE risk groups (p = 0.000, p = 0.000, and p = 0.000, respectively). Conclusions: Our study results revealed a significant association of ABSI with Framingham, PRCAE, and SCORE risk calculation systems, which helps predict cardiovascular risk.

Hacıağaoğlu et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity (n=368). A Body Shape Index (ABSI) was evaluated on Correlation between ABSI and cardiovascular risk scores (Framingham, PRCAE, SCORE) (r = 0.305 (PRCAE), r = 0.297 (Framingham), p=0.000). A Body Shape Index (ABSI) showed a significant positive correlation with Framingham (r = 0.297) and PRCAE (r = 0.305) cardiovascular risk scores in individuals with obesity.
