| Abstract | AIMS: To evaluate the association of type 2 diabetes risk in first-degree relatives of diabetics with waist and hip circumference (WC and HC) and waist-hip ratio (WHR). METHODS: We retrieved the data of 1319 subjects who had at least two visits during 2003-2010 and had been examined for diabetes status, WC and HC. Joint survival-longitudinal analysis and Cox regression were performed and the results were compared. RESULTS: There was a significant direct relationship between diabetes risk and WC and WHR. The risk increased by 23% (95% CI: 5%-38%) and by 28% (95% CI: 9%-58%) respectively, for every 10cm increase in WC and 10% increase in WHR. Post-hoc subgroup analysis showed that these findings were present in females, but not in males. No significant association was seen for HC. Simple Cox regression showed direct association with WC and HC and no association with WHR. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to dependence on measurement time, results from Cox model were inconclusive. The joint model showed a direct effect of WC and WHR albeit weaker than those in the general population, suggesting the possibility that factors other than the obesity indices are playing a stronger role in the elevated risk in this population. Multivariate models are needed for shedding light on the association. |

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.
