Visceral adipose accumulation increased the risk of hyperuricemia among middle-aged and elderly adults: a population-based study

Table 3 Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for identifying hyperuricemia with adiposity-based indices

Variables	AUROC	Threshold	Sensitivity	Specificity	P ^#
BMI (kg/m²)	0.568 (0.540–0.595)	25.2	58.3	53.8	0.0008
Waist circumference (cm)	0.558 (0.530–0.568)	81	89.2	21.4	0.0002
Neck circumference (cm)	0.522 (0.494–0.550)	34	65.2	41.2	< 0.0001
Visceral adiposity index	0.662 (0.636–0.688)*	2.74	55.8	68.2	–
Fatty liver index	0.621 (0.594–0.648)*	30	77.0	41.1	0.04
Lipid accumulation product	0.645 (0.618–0.671)*	71.0	45.6	77.1	0.14

*The AUROC was statistically greater than that of BMI, waist circumference, neck circumference (all P values < 0.05). P^# was calculated by using the method described by De Long. et al. comparing the AUROC of visceral adiposity index with the other adiposity-based indices
