Association between anthropometric indices and hypertension: identifying optimal cutoff points for U.S. adults across different populations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study compares the relationships between five anthropometric indices, a body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and hypertension, assessing their predictive capacities. The aim is to determine the specific numerical changes in hypertension incidence, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) for each increase in standard deviation of these indices, and to identify the optimal predictive indicators for different populations, including the calculation of cutoff values.

Methods

This study used data from the NHANES datasets spanning 2007 to 2018. Logistic regression analysis was used to quantify the associations between these anthropometric indices
