Changes in waist circumference and the incidence of diabetes in middle-aged men and women.

<h4>Background</h4>Waist circumference (WC) is positively associated with diabetes, but the association with changes in WC (DWC) is less clear. We investigated the association between DWC and the subsequent risk of diabetes in middle-aged men and women, and evaluated the influence from c...
