Are There Different Criteria Affecting Prevalence of Impaired Glucose Regulation as Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Young Adults Other than BMI and Waist Circumference?

چکیده
Secondly, a recent meta-analysis showed that waist-to-height ratio is superior to both BMI and WC for detecting cardiometabolic risk factors [4] . If the data is available, the authors could look at the relationship between impaired glucose regulation and waist-to-height ratio in this study population. To the best of our knowledge, waist-to-height ratio has not been investigated in Kuwaiti adults. In conclusion, I congratulate the authors for their hard work and believe that this study will shed light on future studies.
