Comparisons of the Strength of Associations With Future Type 2 Diabetes Risk Among Anthropometric Obesity Indicators, Including Waist-to-Height Ratio: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the association of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with risk of incident diabetes with the associations of 3 other conventional obesity indicators (body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)) with risk of incident diabetes. Literature searches in MEDLINE (January 1950 to April 27, 2011) and EMBASE (January 1974 to April 27, 2011) were conducted for prospective studies that made it possible to estimate the relative risk of diabetes per… Show more

“…It appears not linked to gender, to aging of the population or consecutive to overweight/obesity which are factors that often emerge as independent determinants of the prevalence of hypertension. [8,21,[26][27][28][29][30] No cohort of the community population has been longitudinally followed-up in the present work. We instead husked two random samples, each representative of the population during the period.…”

“…Candidate mechanisms include hyperglycemia leading to joint tissue changes, particularly in collagen [27], and obesity leading to (1) increased mechanical load to the joint [31]; and/or (2) nonbiomechanical factors such as metabolism from increased fat [8,14,20,22]. Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes [1,15,17,19,30] and osteoarthritis [8,13,20,22,26], and both factors are increasing rapidly in the US population [6,10]. Unfortunately, data that might further explore these potential hypotheses are unavailable in our data set (BMI, HbA1c, adipokine biomarkers).…”

“…The prevalence of obesity, which is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus [9], has reached approximately 35.6% in the KSA, increasing in parallel with the increase in the prevalence of diabetes [10][11][12]. Moreover, approximately 45-65% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the United States are obese [13].…”
