From: Risk of type 2 diabetes according to traditional and emerging anthropometric indices in Spain, a Mediterranean country with high prevalence of obesity: results from a large-scale prospective cohort study

Figure 1

Relative risk of diabetes as a function of different anthropometric indices in men and women from the Spanish EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) cohort. Restricted cubic splines modelling of T2DM risk according to variation in anthropometric variables, with knots at the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles. The reference (RR = 1, dashed line) was set at a body mass index equal to 25 kg/m2 (A.1 and B.1), a waist circumference equal to 94 cm in men (A.2) or 80 cm in women (B.2), a waist-to-hip ratio equal to 0.90 in men (A.3) or 0.85 in women (B.3), and a waist-to-height ratio equal to 0.50 (A.4 and B.4).
