Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate and compare the abilities of waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) to predict recently and previously diagnosed diabetes and hypertension and assess their appropriate cut-off values among Jordanian adults.Methods Data from the 2017 cardiovascular risk factors survey were analyzed to achieve the study objective. The survey collected extensive data from a national population-based sample of Jordanian residents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic variables and clinical data. Blood samples were taken for biochemical measurements. Anthropometric characteristics were measured by the same team of trained field researchers.Results This study included a total of 1193 men and 2863 women. Their age ranged from 18 to 90 year with a mean (SD) of 43.8 (14.2) year. WHtR performed better than other anthropometric measures and had a good accuracy (AUC>0.80) among women and fair accuracy among men to predict newly diagnosed diabetes and previously diagnosed diabetes and hypertension. The appropriate cut-off points for anthropometric measures among women were 92 cm form WC, 104 cm for HC, 30 Kg/m 2 for BMI, 0.85 for WHR, and 0.60 for WHtR. For men, the appropriate cut-off points were 100 cm for WC, 104 cm for HC, 27 Kg/m 2 for BMI, 0.93 for WHR, and 0.57 for WHtR.Conclusion WHtR performed better than other anthropometric measures in predicting diabetes and hypertension among adult population in Jordan. We recommend WHtR as a measure of choice with a cut-off value of 0.6 for women and 0.57 for men to predict diabetes and hypertension among Jordanians.

Abstract Background: To assess the association between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-h post challenge plasma glucose (2h-PCPG) as continuous or categorical variables with risk of recurrent cardiovascular disease (CVD) and incident diabetes among subjects with history of previous CVD. Methods: In a prospective population-based cohort, a total of 335 Iranians aged ≥30 years, with history of CVD and free of known diabetes were included. Prediabetes was defined as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) according to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) [IFG-ADA; FPG: 5.6-6.9 mmol/L], the World Health Organization (WHO) expert group (IFG-WHO; FPG: 6.1-6.9 mmol/L) and impaired glucose tolerance [IGT: 2h-PCPG: 7.8-11.0 mmol/L]. Cox’s proportional hazard models adjusted for traditional risk factors were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of different glucose intolerance for outcomes of interest. Results: During a median follow-up of 15.8 (IQR, 10.7-16.5) years, 178 CVD (hard event including death, myocardial infarction and stroke=69) events occurred. Regarding FPG, only IFG-ADA was associated with significant higher risk of hard CVD in the fully adjusted model (HR, 1.73, 95% CI: 1.04-2.89). Moreover, newly diagnosed diabetes (FPG≥7 mmol/L) was an independent risk of CVD (2.11: 1.22-3.66). Focusing on 2h-PCPG, subjects with newly diagnosed diabetes (2h-PCPG ≥ 11.1 mmol/L) had moderately increased risk of hard coronary heart disease (2.02:0.91-4.47, P=0.08). The multivariate HRs (95% CI) associated with 1 SD increase in FPG and 2h-PCPG was 1.16 (1.01–1.33) and 1.19 (1.02–1.38) for CVD, respectively. Among population free of diabetes at baseline (n=270), IFG-ADA, IFG-WHO and IGT were significantly associated with incident diabetes in multivariate analysis (all HRs > 4, P< 0.001); significant associations were also found for FPG and 2h-PCPG as continuous variables (all HRs for 1-SD increase > 2, all P < 0.001). Conclusions: Among subjects with stable CVD, both FPG and 2h-PCPG as continuous variables was associated with higher risk of recurrent CVD. However, only IFG-ADA was independent predictor of hard CVD events. Also, newly diagnosed diabetes, using FPG criteria, was associated with a significant risk of CVD. IFG-ADA, IFG-WHO and IGT were all significant predictors of incident diabetes.

The prevalence of overweight/obesity in the adult population in the Philippines has doubled in the past 20 years. Zumba exercise has recently been implemented throughout the Philippines. However, there is scarce information on the effects of Zumba on obesity and Zumba participants’ characteristics in the Philippines. This study described the current practice of Zumba in the Philippines, along with the practitioners’ characteristics, and identified factors associated with Zumba participation. In this observational, cross-sectional study, a structured questionnaire was used to survey 10 Zumba locations in September 2019. Anthropometric measurements of participants were assessed. Respondents included 171 women (88.6%) and 22 men (11.4%), with a mean (±standard deviation [SD]) age of 44.1 (±8.9) years. All respondents answered that Zumba was enjoyable, and some answered “very enjoyable”. Determinants of frequent participation were as follows: being older than the mean age of participants, starting Zumba to enjoy dancing, starting Zumba not to lose weight, shopping mall location, and participation fee required. “To enjoy dance” being a motivation for Zumba practice was identified as a determinant of frequent participation rather than “to lose weight.” The element of “enjoyable” may strongly influence the continuation and frequent participation of Zumba exercise in the Philippines.

Aims. To investigate the association of C-reactive protein (CRP) and gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) concentrations with newly diagnosed diabetes defined by either glucose or HbA1c criteria in Chinese adults.Methods. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2006. Data from 1167 men and 1607 women aged 35–74 years were analyzed. Diabetes was defined according to either glucose or HbA1c criteria alone.Results. Compared with nondiabetes, multivariate-adjusted OR (95%CI) was 1.13 (0.90,1.42) in men and 1.21 (1.00,1.45) in women for CRP and 1.42 (1.18,1.72) and 1.57 (1.31,1.87) for GGT, respectively. Neither CRP nor GGT was associated with the presence of diabetes defined by the HbA1c criterion.Conclusions. The effect of elevated CRP on diabetes defined by the glucose criterion was mediated through obesity, but elevated GGT was an independent risk factor for diabetes in this Chinese population. None of the two was, however, associated with the elevated HbA1c concentrations.
