Is there a Benefit to Use Calculated Percent Body Fat or Age- and Gender-adjusted BMI-SDSLMS to Predict Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease? A German/Austrian Multicenter DPV-Wiss Analysis on 42 048 Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract: Compared to Body Mass Index, age- and gender-adjusted Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score, or calculation of %body fat, has no further benefit to predict cardiovascular disease risk factors in adult type 2 diabetic patients.

“…Even though a correlation exists between BMI and body fat (%), classification of individual weight disorders may show discrepancies when body fat analyses were performed [44]. Although divergent results have been demonstrated whether BMI or body fat measurements are more accurate to determine potential outcome prognoses [45], we feel safe to use BMI measurement since it represents the mostly accepted parameter in the current literature analyzing trauma populations [2, 5, 7, 8, 30, 41]. Emphasizing our suggestions of adipokines and adiponectin influencing the inflammatory response in multiple trauma, this aspect could not be proven due to the retrospective design of this study.…”

“…BMI SD score (BMI-SDS) was calculated using national reference data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) study for patients ,18 years old and from the second German National Nutrition Survey for patients $18 years old as described elsewhere (13,14). Beside current BMI-SDS, lowest BMI-SDS (BMI-SDS min ) documented in DPV was analyzed.…”

“…The body mass index (BMI) corresponds to the body weight in kilograms divided by square of the height in meters (kg/m 2 ). As the BMI varies also in adulthood, the age and gender adjusted BMI-SDS by Hemmelmann et al was calculated based on individual BMI and age- and gender-dependent reference values [ 14 , 15 ]. Reference values of the Second German National Nutrition Survey were used [ 15 ].…”
