This study aimed to confirm the hypothesis that adiponectin levels can enhance the discriminative value of waist circumference (WC) in predicting impaired glycaemic status and clustering of risk factors.We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to define the optimal cut-off value of adiponectin to predict diabetes in Chinese men with no relevant past medical history. This value...
