Abstract
Asian adults develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) at lower body mass index (BMI) than White populations, but diagnostic accuracy of anthropometric indices has not been assembled at scale. We searched PubMed and Europe PMC to 2 August 2026 for reports (from 1 January 2006) on adults of Asian ancestry.
