Associations of four obesity indices with diabetes mellitus in Korean middle-aged and older adults using the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity is associated with a high risk of diabetes mellitus (DM); therefore, obesity-related indices are strongly associated with DM. This study evaluated the association of obesity indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and a body shape index (ABSI), with DM in Korean middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

Data from three population-based cohorts (Ansan and Ansung, Health Examinee, and Cardiovascular Disease Association Study, derived from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to evaluate the association of BMI, WC, WHR, and ABSI with DM, after adjusting for covariates according to sex and age. The integrated discrimination index (IDI) and category-free net reclass
