Introduction: Obesity is considered to be the most significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
The aim of this study was to estimate the association of diabetes with body mass index …

Background The link between adiposity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is well known. However,
it remains controversial as to which index and cutoff point is the best predictor in different …

Objective: To investigate whether central obesity variables are more important than general
obesity variables in predicting the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Iranians. Methods: In this …

BACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) is often used to reflect total body fat amount
(general obesity), whereas waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHpR) or waist-to …
