Non-linear relationship between relative fat mass and diabetes risk in Japanese adults: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Relative fat mass (RFM) represents a newly developed sex-specific anthropometric formula to estimate total body fat percentage. Nonetheless, research examining the correlation between RFM and the risk of diabetes remains scarce. This research assessed the link between RFM and DM risk within the Japanese demographic.

Methods

From 2004 to 2015, 15,462 Japanese individuals without diabetes underwent physical evaluations at Murakami Memorial Hospital. The relationship between RFM and the onset of diabetes was analyzed separately using Cox proportional-hazards regression models. This study employed Cox proportional hazards regression incorporating cubic spline functions and smooth curve fitting to detect non-linear associations between RFM and new cases of diabetes, ca
