ABSTRACT
Background:
Current guidelines for obesity prevention and control focus on body mass index (BMI) and rarely address central obesity. Few studies have been conducted on the association between normal-weight central obesity and the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM).Methods:
26,825 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in our study. A weighted multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between different obesity patterns and the risk of DM.Results:
Our results suggest that normal-weight central obesity is associated with an increased risk of DM (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.75-3.23) compared with normal-weight participants without central obesity. When stratified by sex, men with normal-weight central obesity, obesity and central obesity were found to have a similar risk of DM (OR 3.83, 95% CI 2.10-5.97; OR 4.20, 95% CI 3.48-5.08, respectively) and a higher risk than all other types of obesity, including men who were overweight with no central obesity (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.96-1.51) and obese with no central obesity (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.30-0.91).Conclusion:
Our results highlight the need for more attention in people with central obesity, even if they have a normal BMI.
