Validity of simple, novel measures of generalized and central obesity among young Asian Indian women

Conclusion: FMI was a better predictor of generalized obesity compared to BMI and BF%. Considering abdominal obesity as an independent risk factor for insulin resistance, both WC and WC/ht ratio were able to predict central obesity better than WHR. Finally, the study presents ranges for FFMI and FMI for various BMI categories.
