Anthropometric measurements, weight (kilogram), height (meters), and waist circumference (WC) were evaluated, and the body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Fasting blood samples were collected for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid profile assessment. VAI, LAP, and AIP were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significantly higher means of BMI, WC, WHtR, HbA1c, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides\/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG\/HDL-C) ratio, LAP, VAI, AIP, and significantly decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were seen among MetS when compared with non-MetS group. LAP had a significant proportion with BMI, WC, WHtR, TG, TG\/HDL-C, VAI, and AIP, and it is inversely related to HDL-C in the MetS group. On ROC analysis, LAP had the largest operating characteristic curves (AUC) for both gender 0.970 (0.948\u20130.993) for men and 0.964 (0.945\u20130.982) for women, followed by WC, and VAI, while BMI showed the lowest AUCs for men and women.
