Özet
Aim: Since traditional anthropometric measurements such as waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) can not adequately demonstrate muscle, fat mass, and body fat distribution, new indices have been developed taking into account the shape of the body. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether new anthropometric indices such as Rohrer Index (RI), Body Shape Index (BSI), and Body Roundness Index (BRI) can be used as markers for the presence of metabolic syndrome or not. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 1059 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), BMI, BRI, BSI, RI were calculated using the appropriate anthropometric measurements taken from the files of the participants. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 39.9% (n=423). There was a statistically significant relationship between BMI, WHtR, RI, BSI, BRI and gender, age, and metabolic syndrome (p<0.001). While there was a weak positive correlation between BSI and metabolic syndrome (r=0.182, p<0.001), there was a strong positive correlation between BRI and metabolic syndrome (r=0.610, p<0.001). The optimum cutting values for BMI, WHtR, and BRI were determined as 30.19 kg/m2, 0.59 cm and 5.24, respectively. Discussion: BRI and WHtR were found to have a higher capacity to predict metabolic syndrome than other indices (BSI, RI, BMI), however, it was seen that it was not superior to BMI. Other anthropometric indices can be used as well as BMI and waist circumference for the prevention, early diagnosis, and detection of the metabolic syndrome risks in the primary health care centers.
