All Spearman's rank correlations significant at the p<0.0005 level.
*Correlation is not calculated for this obesity measure as it contains variables that are also used in the calculation of the simplified general CVD model.
BMI, body mass index; BAI, body adiposity index; CVD, cardiovascular disease; GCVD, general cardiovascular disease risk score model; HC, hip circumference; WC, waist circumference; SCORE-HIGH, SCORE risk chart for high-risk regions; SGCVD, simplified general cardiovascular disease risk score model; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; WSR, waist-to-stature ratio.
