The body shape index (ABSI), Chinese visceral fat index (CVAI), abdominal volume index (AVI), and body roundness index (BRI) were significantly higher, and the body mass index (BMI) was significantly lower in the Osteoporosis (OP) group than in the normal group (all p&amp;lt;0.05). (2) CVAI was negatively correlated with hip BMD and lumbar spine BMD (r=-0.35, p&amp;lt;0.05; r=-0.20, p&amp;lt;0.05). BRI was negatively correlated with hip and lumbar spine BMD (r=-0.37, p&amp;lt;0.05; r=-0.20, p&amp;lt;0.05). (3) After adjusting age, blood pressure (BP), blood glucose, blood lipids, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and Ca levels, high levels of CVAI, AVI and BRI were independent risk factors for OP (OR=4.27, 95%CI 2.49, 7.33; OR=2.08, 95%CI 1.23, 3.51; OR=6.11, 95% CI 3.39, 11.01). (4) The model for predicting the risk of OP using anthropometric indicators showed that the AUCs ranked CVAI &amp;gt; BRI &amp;gt; ABSI &amp;gt; AVI = BMI &amp;gt; lipid accumulation index (LAP) &amp;gt; waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) &amp;gt; waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This clinical study showed that new anthropometric indicators are associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
