Association of predicted fat mass and lean body mass with diabetes: a longitudinal cohort study in an Asian population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The relationship between body composition fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM) and diabetes risk is currently debated, and the purpose of this study was to examine the association of predicted FM and LBM with diabetes in both sexes.

Methods

The current study was a secondary analysis of data from the NAGALA (NAfld in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) cohort study of 15,463 baseline normoglycemic participants. Predicted LBM and FM were calculated for each participant using anthropometric prediction equations developed and validated for different sexes based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, and the outcome of interest was diabetes (types not distinguished) onset. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were applied to estim
