Comparative performance of traditional and novel adiposity indices for predicting insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (opens in new tab)

ObjectiveThis study aimed to comprehensively evaluate and compare the predictive performance of seven adiposity indices—both traditional (waist-to-hip ratio, WHR; waist-to-height ratio, WHtR) and novel (visceral adiposity index, VAI; Chinese visceral adiposity index, CVAI; lipid accumulation product, LAP; triglyceride-glucose index, TyG; cardiometabolic index, CMI)—for identifying insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a large cohort of Chinese women with polycystic ovary sy...
