Table 4.

Outcomes that show the power of the anthropometric indices to predict diabetes mellitus: the area under the curve, sensitivity, 1-specificity and 95% confidence intervals.

Anthropometric Index AUC p-Value 95% CI Cut-Off Point Sensitivity 1-Specificity
BMI kg/m2 0.756 <0.001 0.714–0.798 24.64 0.703 0.319
WC cm 0.804 <0.001 0.754–0.833 88.95 0.710 0.262
WHR 0.802 <0.001 0.757–0.827 0.921 0.703 0.257
WHtR 0.806 <0.001 0.769–0.842 0.543 0.703 0.211

AUC = area under curve, BMI = body mass index, WHR = waist-to-hip ratio, WHtR = waist-to-height ratio, and WC = waist circumference.
