Zhu HT, et al. - A community-based, cross-sectional study of 918 Chinese elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Zhejiang was carried out by the researchers in order to elucidate the optimally accessible indices of adiposity and insulin resistance for determination of factors associated with poor glycemic control and beneficiary actions of performing regular exercise related to it. Appropriate factors like body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol (TC), the product of fasting triglycerides and glucose (TyG), visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC were included. FBG, TG, BMI, and WC measurements, indicative of adiposity and insulin resistance poor glycemic control risk, could be used for identification amongst elderly individuals with T2DM. From performing regular exercise to achieve good glycemic control, TyG-WC appeared to be an accessible and useful indicator for identification in elderly T2DM patients.
