Abstract

Purpose of review: To provide an overview of the predictive value of A Body Shape Index (ABSI) for the risk of cardiovascular events.

Recent findings: ABSI has been reported to have an association with development of cardiovascular diseases, and its usefulness for predicting major cardiovascular events including cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal coronary syndrome and nonfatal stroke has been investigated. The formula for ABSI includes waist circumference, which is not included in the conventional calculation of body mass index (BMI), along with BMI and height. High ABSI is independently associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular events. ABSI with specific cutoff values can be a useful tool for cardiovascular risk stratification by detecting the presence of abdominal obesity and it can be used for evaluation of the risk of cardiovascular events. Nonetheless, other factors such as race, gender, age, and physical, environmental and socioeconomic purviews also need be taken into consideration.

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature. We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
