  1. LAP lipid accumulation product, WHtR waist-to-height ratio, BMI body mass index, AUC area under the curve.
  2. Central obesity: waist circumference ≥ 90 cm in males and ≥ 80 cm in females.
  3. Body adiposity index: (hip circumference/height1.5) − 18.
  4. Odds ratios for all adiposity measures were significant at P < 0.001.
  5. a P < 0.001 between the AUC value for LAP and that of the WHtR.
  6. b P = 0.040 between the AUC value for WHtR and that of BMI.
  7. c P = 0.004 between the AUC value for LAP and that of the WHtR.
  8. d P = 0.004 between the AUC value for LAP and that of the WHtR.
