Add to ORKGObesity is a well-established risk fac-tor for type 2 diabetes (1–3). How-ever, while several studies (4–10) suggest that anthropometric measure-ments that describe central fat distribu-tion are superior in predicting type 2 diabetes compared with measurements of general adiposity, this issue remains con-troversial (11–14). The aim of this study was to compare different anthropometric measurements and derived estimates of body composition, in particular BMI, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), metric index, and percentage body fat, in their ability to predict risk of type 2 diabetes in a large prospective co-hort study of men and women
