SMRT: A smart mass ratio technique that outperforms body mass index (BMI) for predicting waist-to-height ratio

SMRT is a simple, robust, and clinically practical model for estimating WHtR using only height and weight. Developed using more than 22,000 adults from multiple NHANES cycles, SMRT provides a valuable screening tool when waist circumference is unavailable and may improve assessment of central adiposity and cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract

SMRT is a simple, robust, and clinically practical model for estimating WHtR using only height and weight. Developed using more than 22,000 adults from multiple NHANES cycles, SMRT provides a valuable screening tool when waist circumference is unavailable and may improve assessment of central adiposity and cardiometabolic risk.
