  • Determining a global mid-upper arm circumference cut-off to assess underweight in adults (men and non-pregnant women)

    Open AccessAlice M Tang, Alice Tang et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: To determine if a global mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) cut-off can be established to classify underweight in adults (men and non-pregnant women). Design: We conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis (IPDMA) to explore the sensitivity (SENS) and specificity (SPEC) of various MUAC cut-offs for identifying underweight among adults (defined as BMI 2 ). Measures of diagnostic accuracy were determined every 0·5 cm across MU…
