There was a need to develop a screening strategy based on the anthropometric measurements and the available/ reported anthropometric indices are unable to define these different types of obesity. Here we explain a screening method for this purpose by using the novel three indices, namely ASindex [Hip circumference (Hc) minus Waist circumference Wc)]. The screening criterion involves the following steps: 1:The weight (kg) and height (meters) of the subject will be measured to calculate the BMI. 2:The hip circumference (Hc) and waist circumference (Wc), will be measured in obese subjects and the ASindex will be calculate for the difference will be calculated by the formula; Hc – Wc (cm). 3:The mean and +SD, for the ASindex for the given samples will be calculated. 4:The subjects with the negative value for ASindex and the subject with the ASindex value between -1 SD and -2 SD of the mean ASindex will be the android obese.5:The subjects with the positive values equal to or more than the mean value for ASindex will be considered to be genocide obese for that specific observational frame.6:Subjects with the ASindex values lesser than mean and between the mean ASindex and -1SD will be the barrel shaped obese. The criterion can be subjected to obese attributes beside its application on normal healthy individuals for the prediction of the genocide, android and barrel shaped obesity. The method was tested on a total of 50 type I, obese subjects (as per sample size calculations). The results showed the specificity and sensitivity of the screening method to be acceptable (more than 0.5) via XLSTAT data analyser. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study proposing the method to differentiate the genocide, android and barrel shaped obesity as per statistical avoided rigors. 10 12 54-55 |
