Associations and predictive performance of 11 anthropometric measures with incident type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study aim was to investigate associations of 11 anthropometric measures with incident type 2 diabetes and compare their predictive performance.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 161,127 White European UK Biobank participants who were free of diabetes at baseline. Anthropometric measures included height, weight, BMI, A Body Shape Index, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, waist to height ratio (WHtR), hip circumference, visceral adiposity index, hip index, and anthropometric risk index. The associations were examined using Cox proportional hazard models. The differences in C-index were used to compare predictive performance between BMI and other anthropometric measures.

Results

The median follow-up was 10.0 (interquartile range: 9.3-10.8
