Both BMI and WC showed a positive association with diabetes and offered a comparative predictive performance for diabetes in both sexes. The cut-off points, BMI 25.1 kg/m2 and WC 88.0 cm in men and BMI 24.4 kg/m2 and WC 78.2 cm in women, might contribute to the effective prevention strategies for diabetes.
