ROC analysis for WC and CVRF in the whole sample defined by the presence of at least one of the following risk factors: Systolic or diastolic hypertension, total hypercholesterolemia, LDL hypercholesterolemia, decreased HDL-C hypertriglyceridemia, impaired fasting glucose or diabetes mellitus in men (A) and women (B).

Frequency of CVRF, AMI and stroke in overweight individuals (BMI: 25–29.99 kg/m2) with AO.

Frequency of CVRF, AMI and stroke in normal weight individuals (BMI:18.5–24.99 kg/m2) with AO.
Fig 2.
ROC analysis for WC and CVRF in normal and overweight subsample defined by the presence of at least one of the following risk factors: Systolic or diastolic hypertension, total hypercholesterolemia, LDL hypercholesterolemia, decreased HDL-C hypertriglyceridemia, impaired fasting glucose or diabetes mellitus in men (A) and women (B).
Table 4.
Frequency of CVRF, AMI and stroke in overweight individuals (BMI: 25–29.99 kg/m2) with AO defined by lower WC cutoff values.

Frequency of CVRF, AMI and stroke in normal weight individuals (BMI:18.5–24.99 kg/m2) with AO defined by lower WC cutoff values.

Correlation between BMI and WC in adults from ENS-Chile 2009–2010.
Anthropometric values were measured in a total of 2132 men (A) and 3116 women (B). Vertical lines indicate the BMI values defining normal weight (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25–29.9 kg/m2) and obesity (≥ 30 kg/m2). Horizontal lines indicate the WC cutoff defining AO in men (91 cm) and women (83 cm).
