The Indian media recently published a new study by its scientists that the thickness of the thigh can predict the risk of diabetes, and that people with thick thighs have a relatively low risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
In the new study, the scientists reviewed the specific data on 1055 cases received by the doctors at the Ganges Lam from March 2013 to September 2016. The researchers focused on comparing the waist circumference of diabetic patients and non-diabetics, thigh circumference. After the data were found, the thigh circumference of diabetic patients was significantly smaller than that of non-diabetic patients, but the waist circumference was larger than the latter.
Dr. Buyotla Diabetes, a Diabetes expert from the Jakarta Hospital of Ganges in New Delhi, India, said that diabetes is one of the major challenges facing clinical medicine in the world. It is worrying that almost half of the patients cannot be diagnosed in time. The results of the study showed that a thick thigh means that the risk of diabetes is relatively small, while a large thigh size of the thigh indicates a high risk of diabetes. Specifically, the waist-to-leg ratio (WTR, waist circumference to thigh circumference) 2.3 can be used as a high-risk diabetes Watershed. When the waist-to-leg ratio is less than 2.3, it can usually be excluded from high-risk groups. This provides a cheap, convenient and effective method for the screening of type 2 diabetes, which can help improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment and reduce waste of medical resources.
