New index of abdominal obesity, a body shape index, is BMI-independently associated with systemic arterial stiffness in real-world Japanese population  .

CONCLUSION: ABSI is an easily calculated index of abdominal obesity which reflects metabolic disorders and systemic arterial stiffening, and may be useful in primary health screening even without any medical equipment for visceral fat quantification.
