Metabolic syndrome prediction based on body composition indices
Fat mass %, muscle mass %, FMI, BMI, and WHR could be used as predictors of MetS in Jordanian females, while the fat-to-muscle ratio was not. We suggested that more extensive sample size studies from both genders and different age categories are necessary to develop a superior predictor for MetS in Jordan.
