Evaluation of anthropometric indices as a predictor of diabetes in Dong and Miao ethnicities in China: A cross-sectional analysis of China Multi-Ethnic Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although it is known that obesity is inseparable from diabetes, many anthropometric indices are used for determining obesity. At the same time, research on the predictive indices of diabetes in Chinese minority populations is lacking. Therefore, this study determines the relationship between different anthropometric indices and diabetes, and identifies the best index and best cut-off values for predicting diabetes.

Method

In total, 11,035 Dong and Miao ethnic participants (age: 30-79 years) from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort study were included. The logistic regression model was used to examine the relationship between the different anthropometric indices and diabetes risk. The receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to
