- Abstract
- Body mass index (BMI) has limited accuracy for predicting cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and is not capable of identifying sarcopenic obesity, the combination of sarcopenia (an age-associated decline in muscle mass and physical function) and obesity. To overcome this, the z-score of the log-transformed A Body Shape Index (LBSIZ) was recently introduced as a measure of obesity using waist circumference, height, and weight. We aimed to investigate the association of LBSIZ with sarcopenic obesity and CVD, and propose appropriate cut-off values using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2016 data. Of 92,062 participants, 40,468 adults (>= 20 years) were included. Overall area under curve (AUC) of LBSIZ was 0.735 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.716-0.754) for sarcopenic obesity, and 0.695 (95% CI: 0.687-0.703) for CVD. The subgroup analysis of ethnicity/race showed similar results. Waist circumference (WC), BMI, conicity index, body roundness index (BRI), Clinica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator (CUN-BAE), new BMI, and waist to height ratio (WHtR) showed a negative association with sarcopenic obesity, while LBSIZ and conicity index showed a positive association. The AUC of LBSIZ was significantly higher for sarcopenic obesity than that of conicity index (p < 0.001). The AUC of LBSIZ was significantly higher for CVD than those of parameters including WC, BMI, BRI, CUN-BAE, new BMI, and WHtR (p < 0.001). The AUC for conicity index alone was comparable to that of LBSIZ for CVD. Overall LBSIZ cut-off was 0.35 for both sarcopenic obesity (sensitivity, 65.3%; specificity, 71.5%) and CVD (sensitivity, 63.3%; specificity, 66.6%). These results may be useful not only to identify sarcopenic obesity, but also to conduct CVD risk assessment in the clinical setting.
