Background: Obesity is a strong risk factor for hyperglycemia. However, the performance of
waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference (WC) and body …

ObjectiveTo assess the association of indicators of general and abdominal obesity with the
prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and intermediate hyperglycaemia (IHG) in the …

Objectives To assess the anthropometric characteristics of normoglycaemic individuals who
subsequently developed hyperglycaemia, and to evaluate the validity of these measures to …

Aim Rapid and growing rise in obesity and diabetes mellitus, as serious human health-
threatening issues, is alarming. The aim of the present study was assessing the accuracy of …

Body mass index (BMI) has been reported to be related to the risk of type 2 diabetes and
hypertension. However, waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) can better reflect the …

ObjectiveThe present study was performed to test the predictive value of different cut-off
points of anthropometric parameters for the presence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) or glucose …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of body mass index (BMI), waist–hip ratio (WHR),
and waist circumference (WC) with fasting hyperglycemia after adjustment for age, cigarette …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: We aimed to estimate appropriate cutoff of hypertriglyceridemic
waist (HTGW) designated for impaired fasting glucose (IFG)/diabetes mellitus (DM) and to …

Objective Anthropometric indices to obesity were evaluated as predictors of metabolic
syndrome risk factors. Our purpose was to explore an optimal or more reliable …
