Triglycerides and waist to height ratio are more accurate than visceral adiposity and body adiposity index to predict impaired fasting glucose
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Jul 18, 2019
Elizalde-Barrera CI, et al. - In this cross-sectional study involving 280 people (mean age was 47.14 years), researchers assessed the clinical precision of novel indices visceral adiposity index (VAI) and body adiposity index (BAI) to identify patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and compare with its individual components and other indicators of obesity. To determine the strength of association with IFG, a binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Among the Mexican population, obesity and adiposity are important risk factors for IFG. Triglycerides, VAI and waist to height ratio demonstrate the similar performance of prediction for IFG and could be used in this population for risk assessment of T2DM.
