AVI (m²)

[(2 × WC²) + 0.7 (WC – HC)²] /1000

C-Index \({(\mathbf{m}/\mathbf{k}\mathbf{g})}^{1/2}\)

WC (m) / (0.109 × \(\sqrt{[\mathbf{W}\mathbf{t}(\mathbf{k}\mathbf{g})/\mathbf{H}\mathbf{t}(\mathbf{m})]}\))

BAI (1/ \({\mathbf{m}}^{1/2}\))

(HC [cm] / Ht [m]^1.5) – 18

ABSI \({(\mathbf{m}/\mathbf{k}\mathbf{g})}^{2/3}\)

WC (m) / (BMI^2/3 (kg/m²) × Ht^1/2 (m))

BMI \((\mathbf k\mathbf g/\mathbf m^{\mathbf2})\)

\(\mathbf{W}\mathbf{t}\)/ Ht²

VAI ( \({\mathbf{m}}^{3}\)/kg)

M = (WC / (39.68 + (1.88 × BMI)) × (TG/1.03) × (1.31/HDL (mmol/l))

F = (WC/ (36.58 + (1.89 × BMI)) × (TG/0.81) × (1.52/HDL (mmol/l))
