 This study found that body mass index, BMI, was not significantly associated with the risk of stroke among diabetics, but other measures of central obesity such as waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, WHR, waist to height ratio, WHTR, body shape index, BSI, and body roundness index, BR, were. These findings suggest that central obesity may be a better indicator of stroke risk among diabetics than BMI alone.
