Logistic and Cox regression revealed that visceral fat has the strongest link to diabetes in adults, suggesting its critical role.

Visceral fat significantly increases diabetes risk compared to other fat depots, indicating its importance in diabetes development.
Increased visceral adipose tissue was associated with a hazard ratio of 2.44 for incident diabetes, underscoring its strong impact.
Analysis conducted on 44,857 participants showed that subcutaneous fat has a lesser association with diabetes than visceral fat.
Findings suggest adjustments for body mass index and fat depots may lessen the apparent risk associated with fat distribution.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
