CVD, OBESITY, EVENTS, TYPE 2 DIABETES
In a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes with high risk for CVD, different general and central measures of obesity better reflected patients’ risk of CV events. There was no single obesity measure that was a risk factor for all outcomes (MACE-3, CVD-related or all-cause mortality, or HF requiring hospitalization), however WHR, WC and/or WC adjusted for HC were risk factors for most outcomes. Measuring BMI, WC, and HC collectively may be the most appropriate when assessing the risk of CV events in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
