Assessing the usefulness of a newly proposed metabolic score for visceral fat in predicting future diabetes: results from the NAGALA cohort study

Figure 1. Flowchart of the selection process of study subjects.

Figure 2. Kaplan-meier curve of METS-VF quartiles over time. METS-VF, Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat.

Figure 3. Restricted cubic spline analysis of METS-VF for the estimation of the risk of diabetes. METS-VF, Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat. Restricted cubic spline model adjusted for sex, age, fatty liver, height, BMI, exercise habits, ALT, AST, GGT, HDL-C, TC, TG, HbA1c, drinking status, smoking status, FPG, and SBP.

Figure 4. (A-F) were calibration curves of the prediction for diabetes event at year-7 to year-12, respectively. Dashed lines on the diagonal are reference lines.
