How to predict type 2 diabetes

According to one study, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) is used when it comes to diagnosing type 2 diabetes, but body adiposity index (BAI), visceral adiposity index (VAI) ) and triglycerides-glucose index (TyG) are superior to WC and BMI.

1091 people were involved in this study, of which 57% were women. Health tests of its participants were done twice, first in the year 2005-2006 and then in the year 2010-2013. During this, the researchers evaluated BMI, WC, BAI, VAI, and TYG with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

All participants were free of type 2 diabetes at baseline. On re-checkup after 5 years, symptoms of type 2 diabetes were found in 3.8%. Apart from this, problems of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity were also found along with the poor metabolic profile.

Based on this the researchers made the following conclusions -

After this study, researchers believed that when a person has more than one unit of BAI, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases by about 8 percent.
At the same time, when one unit of VAI increases, the risk of type 2 diabetes increases by 11 percent.
On the other hand, if TYG increases by one unit, the risk of type 2 diabetes increases by more than 4 times.
Studies have proved that TYG is more capable and accurate in predicting the risk of type 2 diabetes as compared to BAI and VAI.
Along with these, BMI and WC are also such factors, which can help to some extent in estimating type 2 diabetes risk.

Takeaway

If one wants to estimate the risk of type 2 diabetes, then it can be ascertained from BAI, VAI, and TYG. The risk of type 2 diabetes can be estimated by those who are obese or those who have high blood pressure. Apart from this, even if someone in the family has type 2 diabetes, it is better to anticipate it beforehand. If any of the risk factors of type 2 diabetes are involved, then do regular checkups with the doctor.
