UNASSIGNED: Waist circumference (WC) as an index of @entity1144 is related to body mass index (BMI) and percent body fat (PBF). Waist circumference data were analyzed to identify a WC cut-off for adult @entity1 with respect to BMI-based @entity28 (>=  30 kg/m(2)) and PBF. Thesample was 138 @entity1 aged 22 to 41 years with Maya ancestry (based on surnames) in Merida, Yucatan, measured during 2011   -   2013. Anthropometric parameters included height, body weight (BW), and BMI. The PBF was estimated by bioelectrical impedance. Estimated cut-offs per centimeter WC (80   -   99 cm) were predicted by BMI for @entity28 (>=  30  kg m(-2); binomial: Yes = 1, No = 0) and PBF (continuous variable) using binary logistic regression analyses. Mean age was 32 years, mean BMI was 29 kg m(-2) and mean WC was 89 cm. The sample exhibited high PBF (44         %), and high rates of overweight (44         %) and @entity28 (40         %). The threshold WC (>=  93  cm) had high sensitivity (80         %), specificity (82         %), Youden Index value (0.62), and correct classification rate (82         %). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 88         %. The WC >=  93 cm cut-off had corresponding values for mean BMI (34  kg m(-2)) and PBF (47         %). The optimal WC cut-off at 93 cm significantly identified @entity1144 for BMI >=  30  kg m(-2) and PBF for this sample.
