Background: Early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with an increased risk of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and obesity is a well-recognized contributing factor.Traditional measures like body mass index (BMI) have limitations in capturing visceral fat distribution. The A Body Shape Index (ABSI), a newer anthropometric indicator, may provide a more accurate assessment of central obesity. This study investigated the relationship between ABSI and DKD in individuals with early-onset T2DM.
Keywords: A Body Shape Index, Visceral obesity, type 2 diabetes, Diabetic kidney disease, Early-onset
