“…[63] Neck circumference can be used as an alternative indicator to BMI and WC for assessing central obesity. [64] One drawback, however, is that neck circumference standards vary widely among different ethnic groups, resulting in significant differences in criteria.…”

Obesity is a complex chronic metabolic disorder characterized by abnormalities in lipid metabolism. Obesity is not only associated with various chronic diseases but also has negative effects on physiological functions such as the cardiovascular, endocrine and immune systems. As a global health problem, the incidence and prevalence of obesity have increased significantly in recent years. Therefore, understanding assessment methods and measurement indicators for obesity is critical for early screening and effective disease control. Current methods for measuring obesity in adult include density calculation, anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computerized imaging, etc. Measurement indicators mainly include weight, hip circumference, waist circumference, neck circumference, skinfold thickness, etc. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature to date, summarizes and analyzes various assessment methods and measurement indicators for adult obesity, and provides insights and guidance for the innovation of obesity assessment indicators.

Context Several cross-sectional studies have reported the association between serum adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) level and pre-sarcopenia. However, data on the impacts of serum A-FABP level and its changes over time on the development and improvement of pre-sarcopenia are scarce. Methods This longitudinal cohort study included 1496 adults (41.2% men; median age, 58 [53–63] years) in 2013–2014 and was followed up to 2015–2016. Participants underwent serum A-FABP level measurements at baseline and follow-up visit. Visceral fat area (VFA) was measured using magnetic resonance imaging. Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis and converted to skeletal muscle index (SMI). Pre-sarcopenia was defined as SMI < 1 standard deviation of the sex-specific mean for the young reference group. Results During an average follow-up period of 2.1 years, baseline serum A-FABP level was positively associated with the incidence of pre-sarcopenia (standardized by weight: risk ratio [RR] 3.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.96–5.38; standardized by VFA: RR 2.11, 95%CI 1.29–3.51) and negatively associated with the improvement of pre-sarcopenia (standardized by weight: RR 0.66, 95%CI 0.45–0.97; standardized by VFA: RR 0.71, 95%CI 0.54–0.94), regardless of whether SMM was standardized by weight or VFA. Moreover, changes in serum A-FABP level provided additional information on the incidence and improvement of pre-sarcopenia, independent of baseline serum A-FABP level (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Baseline serum A-FABP level and its changes were positively associated with the incidence, and negatively associated with the improvement of pre-sarcopenia.
