Population at risk based on BMI (%)
32.5
Population at risk based on new BMI (%)
31.8
Population at risk based on WC (%)
12.2
Population at risk based on WHtR (%)

Population at risk based on excessive measured body fat (%)
32.7
Percentage of the population classified at risk is calculated using accepted boundary values for the anthropometric indices: BMI/new BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, abdominal obese: WC ≥ 102 cm in males and ≥88 cm in females, elevated WHtR: ≥0.5, and excess body fat: body fat ≥20% in male and ≥33% in female.
