Waist circumference thresholds predicting incident dysglycaemia and type 2 diabetes in Black African men and women

Abstract

We show for the first time using prospective cohort data from Africa that the IDF Europid WC thresholds are not appropriate for an African population, and show that African-specific WC thresholds perform better than the IDF Europid thresholds to predict incident dysglycaemia and T2D.
