AUROC curve values larger than or equal 0.60 are in bold. a“+” denotes that a larger value of the anthropometric measure increases the risk of MI, and “−” denotes that a large value decreases the risk. bBest subset of anthropometric measures according to Schwarz Bayesian information criterion in the individual sex/age categories. cBest subset of anthropometric measures according to Schwarz Bayesian information criterion over all four individual sex/age categories. dThe “+” direction of the height effect is only apparent. The true direction is negative since it appears in the denominator of BMI. |
