Associations between various anthropometric indices and hypertension and hyperlipidaemia: a cross-sectional study in China
Several anthropometric indices show significant correlation with hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. The WHtR and BRI were better in distinguishing hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and high LDL-C status, while the BMI was better in hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL-C status. The use of combined indices, such as the BMI, WC, the WHtR and the BRI, can be included in an individual's medical history and can be used as tools for cardiovascular health screening, which may yield superior results for public health.
