Association of obesity anthropometric indices with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia in apparently healthy adult Nigerian population

Table 4 Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis with cut-off values of abdominal height for risk parameters

Disease condition	Risk value	AH cut-off (cm)	Sensitivity, %	Specificity, %	AUC	95%CI
Hypertension (SBP)	≥ 140 mmHg	24.75	66.7	56.8	0.638	0.544-0.730
Hypertension (DBP)	≥ 90 mmHg	24.75	77.3	56.3	0.664	0.551-0.778
Hyperglycemia (FBG)	≥ 7.0 mmol/L	25.25	66.7	58.6	0.621	0.344-0.899
Hypertriglyceridemia (TG)	≥ 1.7 mmol/L	24.75	83.3	61.5	0.751	0.675-0.827
Obesity (BMI)	≥ 30.0 kg/m2	25.75	85.5	79.2	0.923	0.889-0.957

AH: Abdominal height; TG: Triglycerides; BMI: Body mass index; SBP: Systolic blood pressures; DBP: Diastolic blood pressures; FBG: Fasting blood glucose; AUC: Area under the curve; CI: Confidence interval.
