Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We evaluated the predictive ability of the recently developed body adiposity index for aortic stiffness, an intermediate endpoint of cardiovascular disease, in a cross-sectional multi-ethnic Asian type 2 diabetes mellitus cohort (N= 1408). AS was estimated using carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity measured by applanation tonometry. Body adiposity index was computed as hip circumference/(height) 1.5–18. Compared to body mass index, waist …
