ABSI, a body shape index; AVI, abdominal volume index; AWI, arm-waist index; BAI, body adiposity index; BFDI, body fat distribution index; BRI, body roundness index; CI, conicity index; Ht3/W3, height cubic to waist cubic; HWrI, hip-wrist index; PI, ponderal index; PMI, pulse mass index; wBMI, waist corrected BMI; WWrI, waist-wrist index; WHHR, waist to hip to height ratio; W/Ht2, waist to height square; W/Ht3, waist to height cubic. Data shown are the receiver operating characteristic distribution of the areas under curves considering the criterion variables prehypertension (SBP: 120–139 mmHg/DBP: 80–89 mmHg) and hypertension (SBP: ≥140 mmHg/DBP: ≥90 mmHg). Adjusted by age. value ≤0.01.
