Beyond BMI: Validating iBMI and dBMI to define novel obesity clusters and stratify metabolic risk

2025-07-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Conventional Body Mass Index (BMI) fails to account for fat distribution and often misclassifies metabolic risk, particularly in South Asian populations with higher visceral adiposity at lower BMI thresholds. We aimed to develop improved anthropometric indices that integrate waist circumference and height to better reflect central adiposity and metabolic risk. <h4>Methods</h4> In this retrosp...
