The combined impact of BMI and ABSI on all-cause mortality among American adults with diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies have emphasized the independent effects of anthropometric indices-including body mass index (BMI), A Body Shape Index (ABSI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body roundness index (BRI), and Conicity Index-on mortality.

This study investigates both the independent and combined effects of these anthropometric indices on mortality in diabetic Americans and compares their individual and combined diagnostic value.

Methods

A nationally representative cohort study was conducted using NHANES data (2005-2018), including 6,572 diabetic adults. Weighted Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic splines were applied to
