	(b) Model 2. Odds ratios adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors and BMI
		Body mass index	Waist circumference	Waist-to-hip ratio	Waist-to-height ratio
Diabetes mellitus	Demographic, physical activity, BMI		3.091 (2.360; 4.048)∗∗	2.005 (1.515; 2.654)∗∗	3.166 (2.416; 4.150) ∗∗

Note: The anthropometric index with the highest significant OR was presented in bold (^∗∗p < 0.001). Sociodemographic factors included age, marital status, education, working status, and living area.
