2-Step Model Helps Predict Future Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

What is step 1?
Risk score for each participant was calculated from anthropometric parameters, plasma glucose and lipid profile, and blood pressure. High-risk individuals were defined as those with a risk score above a certain cut point, and their future risk for T2DM was further refined using 1-h PG concentration during the oral glucose tolerance test.
Anthropometric data relate to measurement of the body, e.g., how big and fat you are.
