Background To compare the efficiency of bioelectrical indices (visceral fat index [VFI], percentage body fat [PBF]) and anthropometric indices (body mass index, waist circumference, waist‐to‐height ratio, a body shape index ) in the relation to prehypertension (120‐139/80‐89 mm Hg) among the Chinese...
