Abstract

Background: Obesity is strongly associated with insulin resistance. Therefore, body fat identification through anthropometric measurements may be used for screening individuals at risk of prediabetes.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic abilities of body roundness index (BRI), conicity index (C-index), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as predictors of prediabetes among Indonesian adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional study used secondary data from Basic Health Research in 2018. A total of 12.327 samples were analyzed using descriptive and comparative analysis of the areas under the curve to assess the diagnostic abilities of anthropometric measures as predictors of prediabetes.
Results: The five anthropometric measures had very weak predictive abilities of prediabetes. Waist-to-height ratio and BRI (AUCmen = 0,571; AUCwomen = 0,573) performed significantly better than other anthropometric measures. On the other hand, C-index (AUCwomen = 0,548; AUCmen = 0,560) performed significantly weaker than other anthropometric measures in women, but did not differ significantly with waist circumference (AUC = 0,564) and BMI (AUC = 0,559) in men.
Conclusion: Body roundness index has the same predictive ability of prediabetes as WHtR, whereas C-index is weaker than waist circumference and is even weaker than BMI in women.
