    The study evaluates four visceral adiposity indices for predicting type 2 diabetes in Chinese adults aged 50 and older.

  • 2

    All four indices—CVAI, LAP, CI, and AVI—were positively associated with prevalent type 2 diabetes after full adjustment.

  • 3

    CVAI demonstrated the highest discriminatory ability with an AUC of 0.634, followed closely by LAP, AVI, and CI.

  • 4

    Sex differences were significant, with CVAI and CI showing stronger associations in males, while LAP was stronger in females.
