Association between different combinations of body mass index (BMI) and anthropometric indices of central obesity (waist circumference [WC], waist-to-hip ratio [WHR], waist-to-height ratio [WHtR], a body shape index [ABSI], abdominal volume index [AVI], body adiposity index [BAI], body roundness index [BRI], conicity index [CI], waist-hip-height ratio [WHHR], weight-adjusted-waist index [WWI]) with diabetes. The correlation was assessed by multivariate cox regression analysis, adjusted by sex, age, smoking status, drinking status, fasting plasma glucose, serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure at baseline. Hazard ratios (HRs) of the combined anthropometric indices were represented as the squares and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by the lines through the squares.
