A comparative analysis of anthropometric indices for identifying prediabetes in US adults: results from NHANES 2021–2023
Central adiposity measures, particularly WHR and CI, are more effective than BMI in identifying individuals at risk for prediabetes. However, due to the cross-sectional nature of our study, causal relationships between anthropometric indices and prediabetes risk cannot be established.
