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.
