Body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI) and risk factors of metabolic syndrome among overweight and obese adults: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one of the most significant public health issues worldwide, which increases the risk of various diseases. Epidemiological evidence suggests that newer anthropometric measures, such as a body shape index (ABSI) and body roundness index (BRI) can be used to predict MetS. However, anthropometric measures to predict the risk for MetS should be clarified in each population.
