Evaluating the discriminatory capacity of traditional and novel anthropometric indices in cardiovascular disease risk factors, considering sex differences
In this study, BMI was identified as the most powerful predictor of CVD risk factors among the anthropometric indices examined. These findings support previous research indicating that BMI is a valuable screening tool for identifying individuals at higher risk of developing CVDs and associated conditions.
