摘要

Purpose of Review

To provide an overview of the predictive value of A Body Shape Index (ABSI) for the risk of cardiovascular events.

Recent Findings

ABSI has been reported to have an association with development of cardiovascular diseases, and its usefulness for predicting major cardiovascular events including cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal coronary syndrome and nonfatal stroke has been investigated. The formula for ABSI includes waist circumference, which is not included in the conventional calculation of body mass index (BMI), along with BMI and height. High ABSI is independently associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular events.

Summary

ABSI with specific cutoff values can be a useful tool for cardiovascular risk stratification by detecting the presence of abdominal obesity and it can be used for evaluation of the risk of cardiovascular events. Nonetheless, other factors such as race, gender, age, and physical, environmental and socioeconomic purviews also need be taken into consideration.
