Comparison of six anthropometric measures in discriminating diabetes: A cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Traditional anthropometric measures, including body mass index (BMI), are insufficient for evaluating the risk of diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of new anthropometric measures and a combination of anthropometric measures for identifying diabetes.

Methods

Anthropometric measures, including weight, BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WtHR), conicity index (CI), and A Body Shape Index (ABSI), were calculated. Logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the association between the anthropometric indices and diabetes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve ana
