Waist-to-height ratio
upin humans1HR 2.9
Waist-to-height ratio raises the risk of prediabetes and diabetes in humans (HR 2.9, 95% CI 2.0-4.3).
“The highest (≥0.63) vs. lowest (<0.5, no central obesity) group of WHtR had a similar increased risk of GDM (RR 7.1, 3.9-13.2) and postpartum preDM/DM (HR 2.9, 2.0-4.3).”

Body roundness index

Body roundness index raises the risk of prediabetes and diabetes in humans (HR 3.0, 95% CI 2.0-4.4).
“The highest (>5.9) vs. lowest (≤3.3) quartile of BRI had an increased risk of GDM (relative risk [RR] 7.5, 95% CI 4.1-13.5) and postpartum preDM/DM (hazard ratio [HR] 3.0, 2.0-4.4).”

Progression to diabetes was linked to 1.53 times the odds of later heart disease compared with consistently normal blood sugar, after accounting for other factors.Progression to diabetes was linked to 1.53 times the odds of later heart disease compared with consistently normal blood sugar, after accounting for other factors.
