A comparison of anthropometric indicators in predicting the incidence of diabetes and intermediate hyperglycaemia in Finland: a 22-year observational study
Alternative anthropometric indicators offer comparable predictive value and show potential for individualised type 2 diabetes and IH risk assessment. Sex-specific cutoffs and a multi-indicator approach could be used to improve screening and early intervention strategies, potentially improving public health management of diabetes risk.
