Waist-To-Height Ratio Strongly Predicts Risk of T2D,IFG: Study
#diabetes #study #heartdisease
Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) independently predicts the risk of developing impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), says a recent study published in Obesity Research & Clinical Practice.
"The association was partly mediated by systolic blood pressure (SBP), lipids, HOMA-IR, and other kidney and liver metabolism indicators," Ning Chen from Capital Medical University in Beijing, China, and colleagues wrote in their study.
Diabetes mellitus is a frequent chronic disease that significantly impacts the cardiovascular system. The leading cause of death among diabetes patients is CVD (cardiovascular disease). Diabetes is linked with several major cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, coronary artery disease (angina pectoris and myocardial infarction), peripheral artery disease, and stroke.
Anthropometric measures [i.e., waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-height ratio] have been used as predictive factors for incident hypertension.
