Role of weight-adjusted waist circumference index and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio in prediabetes risk: A mediation analysis

WWI and NHHR were significantly associated with the risk of prediabetes, and NHHR partially mediated the effect of WWI on prediabetes. This study provides a new theoretical basis for early prediabetes screening, prevention, and control. In the future, interventions targeting WWI and NHHR through lifestyle changes may be effective in preventing prediabetes.
