Figure 2.

Correlations between 1‐year changes in body mass index (ΔBMI) and hemoglobin A1C (ΔA1C) in male participants, whose A1C was 5.6–6.4%, divided into four groups based on BMI and visceral fat (VFA) are presented. (a) BMI ≤25 with estimated VFA (eVFA) <100 cm². (b) BMI <25 with eVFA ≥100 cm². (c) BMI ≥25 with estimated VFA (eVFA) <100 cm². (d) BMI ≥25 with eVFA ≥100 cm². ΔA1C positively correlated with ΔBMI for the groups BMI ≥25 with eVFA ≤100 cm² and BMI <25 with eVFA ≥100 cm², but not for the groups BMI ≥25 with eVFA <100 cm² nor BMI <25 with eVFA <100 cm².
