Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to observe the association between obesity indices, blood glucose, and lipid profiles as indicators for its levels. In a cross-sectional study, 491 Jordanian adults were included. Socio-demographic and anthropometric data were measured. Blood samples were collected and tested for fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, and lipid profile. Obesity indices [Conicity Index (CI), Body adiposity index (BAI), Abdominal volume index (AVI), A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), and Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI)] were calculated using standard formulas. AVI, BRI, and WWI had a higher impact on FPG and lipid profile. They explain 6.2%, 6.6%, and 4.1% of changes observed in FPG and explained 3.1%, 4.1%, and 3.5% of changes observed in total cholesterol (TC), respectively. In addition, they explain 9.9%, 9.7%, and 7.9% of changes in triglyceride (TG), 9.6%, 8.4%, and 6.0% of the variability observed in the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), as well as 1%, 1.6%, and 1.5 of change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and 7.0%, 8.6%, and 6.6% in LDL/HDL ratio; respectively (p
