Model 1 includes WC and HC as independent variables. Model 2 includes WC, HC and covariates (age, physical activity, smoking) as independent variables. Model 3 includes WC and thigh circumference (ThC) as independent variables. Model 4 includes WC, ThC and covariates (age, physical activity, smoking) as independent variables. Model 5 includes WC and BMI as independent variables. Model 6 includes WC, BMI and covariates (age, physical activity, smoking) as independent variables. Data presented as OR (95% CI). Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HC, hip circumference; ThC, thigh circumference; WC, waist circumference; T2D, type 2 diabetes. *p≤0.05.
