Associations of body shape index (ABSI) and hip index with liver, metabolic, and inflammatory biomarkers in the UK Biobank cohort.

ABSTRACT: Associations of liver, metabolic, and inflammatory biomarkers in blood with body shape are unclear, because waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) are dependent on overall body size, resulting in bias. We have used the allometric "a body shape index" (ABSI = WC_(mm)[Formula: see text]Weight_(kg)^-2/3[Formula: see text]Height_(m)^5/6) and hip index (HI_women = HC_(cm)[Formula: see text]Weight_(kg)^-0.482[Formula: see text]Height_(cm)^0.310, HI_men = HC_(cm)[Formula: see text]Weight_(kg)^-2/5[Formula: see text]Height_(cm)^1/5), which are independent of body mass index (BMI) by design, in multivariable linear reg
