Context: We have previously found that visceral fat is a stronger predictor for cardiovascular
risk factors than body mass index (BMI). Objective: This study sought to investigate the …

Background: It remains controversial whether body mass index (BMI), waist circumference
(WC), or waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a better risk predictor of type 2 diabetes. Objective: The …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relation between obesity, fat distribution, and weight gain
through adulthood and the risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes melli-tus (NIDDM) …

The aims of this study were to establish the associations of stature, body mass index, waist
to hip ratio, and waist circumference with Type 2 (non‐insulin‐dependent) diabetes mellitus …

Although previous studies have linked obesity to diabetes, the risks associated with weight
gain or changes in body fat distribution have not been fully elucidated. The authors therefore …

OBJECTIVE Greater accumulation of visceral fat is strongly linked to risk of cardiovascular
disease. However, elevated waist circumference by itself does not always identify …

Background All previous studies that investigated the association between abdominal fat
distribution and insulin resistance evaluated subcutaneous and visceral fat area and/or …

Background: Visceral adiposity is an important correlate of cardiometabolic risk, yet its
association after the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes remains unclear. Methods: Our objective …

Abstract Aims Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is known to be associated with high BMI and waist
circumference (WC). These measures do not discriminate well between skeletal muscle …

Objectives: Several reports indicate that the body fat compartments, especially ip fat, predict
metabolic risk better than total body fat. The objective of the study was to determine whether …
