Abbreviations: WHtR: waist-to-height ratio; WC: waist circumference; HR: Hazard ratios; CI: confidence interval; other abbreviations as in Table ​1

All variables were calculated for 1SD change increasing of WC/WHtR

Model 1 adjusted sex, age, height, fatty liver, habit of exercise, smoking status and drinking status

Model 2 adjusted model 1 + SBP, FPG, HbA1c, ALT, AST and GGT

Model 3 adjusted model 2 + TC; Model 4 adjusted model 2 + TG; Model 5 adjusted Model 2 + HDL-C; Model 6 adjusted Model 2 + LDL-C; Model 7 adjusted Model 2 + Non-HDL-C; Model 8 adjusted Model 2 + RC; Model 9 adjusted Model 2 + TC/HDL-C ratio; Model 10 adjusted Model 2 + TG/HDL-C ratio; Model 11 adjusted Model 2 + LDL/HDL-C ratio; Model 12 adjusted Model 2 + non-HDL/HDL-C ratio; Model 13 adjusted Model 2 + RC/HDL-C ratio

Models 3–13 show the correlation between WC/WHtR and diabetes when lipid parameters are included in the regression model
