Associations of body shape index (ABSI) and hip index with liver, metabolic, and inflammatory biomarkers in the UK Biobank cohort

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Associations of liver, metabolic, and inflammatory biomarkers in blood with body shape are unclear, because waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) are dependent on overall body size, resulting in bias. We have used the allometric “a body shape index” (ABSI = WC (mm) $$\,*\,$$ ∗ Weight (kg) -2/3 $$\,*\,$$ ∗ Height (m) 5/6 ) and hip index (HI women = HC (cm) $$\,*\,$$ ∗ Weight (kg) -0.482...
