  1. DXA dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; NPV negative predictive value; PPV positive predictive value; SD sagittal diameter; SFT skinfold thickness; VFM visceral fat mass; WC waist circumference
  2. aYielding the highest accuracy as determined from the analyses for Figs. 3 and 4
  3. bIDF criteria for metabolic syndrome other than waist circumference
