PG - 231 LID - 10.1186/s12902-022-01142-z [doi] LID - 231 AB - BACKGROUND: Adiposity evaluated by body mass index (BMI) is associated with glycometabolism. The aim of the investigation was to explore the correlation of visceral fat area (VFA), body fat percentage (BFP), BMI and waist circumference (WC) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes. METHODS: A total of 18,458 participates underwent physical examination in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to April 2022 was included in this study. Data were collected retrospectively. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship of VFA, BFP, WC and BMI with diabetes status, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c). RESULTS: After fully adjusted for multiple covariates, VFA, BFP, WC and BMI in T2DM and pre-diabetes group exceeded compared with normal group. FBG was positively correlated with VFA, BFP, WC and BMI with betas of 2.221,0.306,0.606 and 0.175(p < 0.001). HbA1c was also positively correlated with the four indexes with betas of 2.645, 0.328, 0.685 and 0.255(p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis shown that FBG and HbA1c were positively correlated with VFA, BFP, BMI and WC in normal and pre-diabetes group (p < 0.001). FBG was negatively correlated with BMI in T2DM group (p = 0.023). In T2DM, there were non-linear relationships of HbA1c with VFA, BFP, WC and BMI with the inflection points for about 7%. Before the inflection point, HbA1c was positively correlated with obesity-related indicators, and it was reversed after the inflection point. In the individuals with excessive VFA and normal BMI, the risk for glycometabolism disorder exceed compared with normal VFA and normal BMI. Every per-standard deviation increasing in VFA, BFP, WC and BMI, the corresponding risk increasing of glycometabolism disorder was 16.4, 14.6, 22.6 and 22.2%. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated that in adults with T2DM or prediabetes, the VFA, BFP, WC and BMI were higher than with normal glycometabolism. In pre-diabetes and normal population, there were positive correlations of HbA1c and FBG with obesity-related indicators. In T2DM with poor glycemic control (HbA1c > 7%), there might be a trend of fat loss. VFA could negatively affect glycometabolism independently from BMI. The optimum to evaluate the risk of glycometabolism disorder was WC. CI - (c) 2022. The Author(s).
