Anthropometric indices and cut-off points for screening of metabolic syndrome among South African taxi drivers. Frontiers in Nutrition, 9, 974749. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2022.9747492296-861Xhttps://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2022.974749http://hdl.handle.net/10566/7811Detecting the early onset of metabolic syndrome (MetS) allows for quick intervention which may slow progression to a variety of health consequences, hence, determining the best measurement to detect MetS is essential. This research aimed at examining the MetS predictive power of anthropometric indices, such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index (BRI), percentage body fat (%BF), conicity index (CI), and Clínica Universidad de Navarra-body adiposity estimator (CUN-BAE) to determine the cut-o􀀀 points to identify male South African taxi drivers with MetS.enMetabolic syndromeAnthropometric indicesPublic healthBody mass index (BMI)South AfricaTaxi driversArticle
