Abstract
The authors have demonstrated that in a cohort with normal body weight (normBW) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) anthropometric signs of metabolic obesity are significantly more common than in those without DM. This suggests that these signs, being available for determination in everyday medical practice, may be used not only as diagnostic, but also as prognostic methods. An increased waist circumference (WC) that is considered by IDF to be the
main criterion for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, was reported in 58.8 % of patients with type 2 DM and in 24.0% among those without diabetes. An increased WC/growth ratio, whose advantage is an equal normal index for men and women, occurred in 52.9 % of type 2 DM cases and in 11,8% of control cases. At the same time, an increased percentage of adipose tissue (AT) in the presence of type 2 DM was reported in 94.1 % of cases versus 52.0 % in those without diabetes. To some extent, this difference in the frequency of these indices can be due to an inadequacy of normal WC standards for persons with
normBW, which are not able to reveal in many cases the presence of abdominal obesity. On the other hand, it should be noted that the level of AT percentage includes not only a visceral component.
