| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Patients with type 2 diabetes are prone to have obesity and dyslipidemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of cardiometabolic index (CMI), a new index calculated as the product of waist-to-height ratio and triglycerides-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, for discrimination of diabetes. METHODS: Subjects were 10,196 Japanese women and men who had received annual health checkups at their workplaces. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to determine relationships of CMI with hyperglycemia and diabetes. RESULTS: In women and men, hemoglobin A1c was significantly higher in the highest quartile of CMI than in the other lower quartiles. By using ROC analysis, the cutoff values of CMI for hyperglycemia and diabetes were determined to be 0.799 and 0.800, respectively, in women and to be 1.625 and 1.748, respectively, in men. When these cutoff values were used in logistic regression analysis, there were strong associations of CMI with hyperglycemia and diabetes in women and men (odds ratio with 95% confidence interval of subjects with vs. subjects without high CMI: 6.98 [4.68-10.42] for hyperglycemia and 14.61 [5.95-35.88] for diabetes in women; 4.42 [3.66-5.35] for hyperglycemia and 5.38 [3.89-7.44] for diabetes in men). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that CMI is a useful new index, reflecting both adiposity and blood lipids, for discrimination of diabetes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
