Aim. Despite obesity is defined by a number of indices (body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WT), waist / hip index (W/H)) which are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the clinical diagnosis of obesity is often limited to BMI. Here we investigated whether anthropometric measurements are useful in T2DM screening.Materials and Methods. We collected the data regarding T2DM, BMI, WT, W/H, amount of visceral fat, and visceral obesity index from 1600 residents of Kemerovo Region, having further compared the prevalence of T2DM in obese individuals in relation to the various anthropometric measurements.Results. The prevalence of T2DM among obese males varied from 17.0% (W/H ratio) to 22.4% (amount of visceral fat). Among women, T2DM frequency varied from 13.1% (visceral obesity index) to 28.9% (amount of visceral fat). Prevalence of T2DM in non-obese subjects ranged from 1.6% (W/H ratio) to 8.8% (visceral obesity index) in men and from 1.9% (WT) to 8.8% (amount of visceral fat). T2DM was better diagnosed in males if visceral obesity index was exclusively applied. In women, the most precise T2DM diagnosis was achieved in the case of using visceral obesity index and BMI.Conclusions. Identification of risk groups for T2DM requires addition of visceral obesity criteria (visceral obesity index and amount of visceral fat) to BMI.

Purpose. A patient-assessor-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled crossover trial was performed to investigate the effectiveness of laser acupuncture on anthropometric measurements and appetite sensation in obese subjects.Methods. Fifty-two obese subjects were randomly assigned to either the laser acupuncture group or the sham laser acupuncture group. Subjects within each group received the relevant treatment three times a week for 8 weeks. After a two-week washout period, the subjects then received the treatment of the opposite group for another 8 weeks. BMI, body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference, hip circumference, and appetite sensations were measured before and after 8 weeks of treatment.Results. BMI, body fat percentage, WHR, waist circumference, and hip circumference decreased significantly (p<0.05) in the laser acupuncture group compared to baseline but there was no decrease in those variables in the sham laser acupuncture group. Laser acupuncture significantly improved scores on the fullness, hunger, satiety, desire to eat, and overall well-being relative to the baseline (p<0.05).Conclusions. Laser acupuncture is well tolerated and improves anthropometric measurements and appetite sensations in obese subjects.
