Associations between anthropometric indices and AS
markers
Table 3 shows the correlation among the anthropometric indices and AS
markers. Univariate analysis showed that the cf-PWV was positively
associated with BMI, WHR, WHtR, ABSI, BRI, waist and neck
circumferences, and fat-free mass. cAIx is positively correlated with
WHtR, BRI, visceral fat area, and BFM, fat-free mass, and negatively
correlated with neck circumferences.
In the regression model, after adjustment for confounders, cf-PWV was
positively associated with waist circumferences, WHR, BRI, and WHtR, as
shown in Table 4. Also, there was a positive association between cAIx
and waist circumferences, WHR, and ABSI. Besides, cAIx was positively
associated with the visceral fat area and BFM.
