Associations of hip and thigh circumferences independent of waist circumference with the incidence of type 2 diabetes:the Hoorn Study

BACKGROUND: The higher risk of type 2 diabetes in persons with a high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) or waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR) has mostly been attributed to increased visceral fat accumulation.

OBJECTIVE: This study considered prospectively the association of hip and thigh circumferences, independent of waist circumference, with the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
