A Body Shape Index (ABSI) achieves better mortality risk stratification than alternative indices of abdominal obesity: results from a large European cohort
Abdominal and general adiposity are independently associated with mortality, but there is
no consensus on how best to assess abdominal adiposity. We compared the ability of …
