Predictive role of weight-adjusted waist index in diabetic peripheral neuropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity is a known risk factor for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), but the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and DPN remains controversial.

Aims

This study explores the relationship between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and DPN in Chinese patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), with the goal of establishing WWI as an effective tool for the early detection and risk stratification of DPN.

Methods

A total of 1790 participants were included. The relationships between WWI, BMI, WC, and DPN were analyzed using logistic regression, restricted cubic spline, and subgroup analysis, with ROC-AUC used to assess the diagnostic performance of the obesity indices.
