Logistic regression, curve fitting and subgroup analyses were employed to investigate the associations between these novel obesity indices and HTN prevalence.

The prevalence of HTN was 49.74% (men 53.45%). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that LAP, VAI, CMI, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC and TyG-WHtR were significantly associated with HTN. Smoothed curve-fitting analysis revealed that the LAP, VAI and CMI correlated nonlinearly with HTN. The area under the curve for HTN was greater for all novel obesity indices compared to commonly used traditional anthropometric parameters such as BMI, WC, and WHtR.<\/jats:p>\n
