Abstract
Purpose: This study determined which obesity measurement correlates the best with diabetes and prediabetes.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 1603 subjects (611 men, 992 women; age 30?64 years) at the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases Etiology Research Center. Body mass index, waist circumference, waist-height ratio, waist-hip ratio, waist-thigh ratio, and visceral fat were used as measures of obesity. Visceral fat was acquired using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The prevalences of diabetes and prediabetes were defined using the criteria in the American Diabetes Association 2015 guidelines.
Results: After adjusting for age and other potential confounding factors, participants with a visceral fat mass in the upper 10th percentile had a higher odds ratio (OR) for diabetes and prediabetes than the upper 10th percentile of other adiposity indices [men, OR=15.9, 95% confidence interval (CI)=6.4?39.2; women, OR=6.9, 95% CI=3.5?13.7]. Visceral fat mass also had the highest area under the curve with diabetes and prediabetes in both men (0.69, 95% CI=0.64?0.73) and women (0.70, 95% CI=0.67?0.74) compared to other anthropometric measurements of obesity.
Conclusion: Visceral fat mass measured using DXA is an indicator of diabetes or prediabetes, due to its ability to differentiate between abdominal visceral and subcutaneous fat.

Visceral fat mass, measured via DXA, is associated more closely with diabetes and prediabetes than other traditional adiposity indices.
