Key result
Elevation of a single unit of body adiposity index (BAI) was associated with an 8.4% increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus over 5 years (OR 1.084).

Body adiposity index is a useful anthropometric tool for estimating the 5-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus.
BACKGROUND: The association between diabetes and obesity is very well established. Faced with this, several anthropometric indices of adiposity are often involved in studies on diabetes. Our main goal in this paper is to evaluate the association between body adiposity index (BAI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a sample of the Brazilian population after 5-year follow-up. METHODS: The data used come from the Baependi Heart Study cohort, which consists of two periods: cycle 1 (2005-2006) and cycle 2 (2010-2013). Individuals of both sexes (n = 1121) were selected by excluding participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus at baseline or those that were lost to follow-up. RESULTS: The diabetic subjects showed higher systolic blood pressure, BAI, body mass index, waist circumference and fasting glucose levels. In addition, using mixed-effects logistic regression, we found that the elevation of a single unit of BAI represented an increase of 8.4% in the risk of a patient developing T2DM (OR = 1.084 [95% CI 1.045-1.124]). CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is recognised as one of the most important risk factors for T2DM and BAI has proven to be a useful tool in estimating the risk of a patient developing T2DM in a Brazilian population.

Oliveira et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=1,121). Body adiposity index (BAI) was evaluated on Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (OR 1.084, 95% CI 1.045-1.124, p=<0.001). Elevation of a single unit of body adiposity index (BAI) was associated with an 8.4% increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus over 5 years (OR 1.084).
