The parallel axis through the centre is the rod's own long axis, with zero moment of inertia in the thin-rod approximation. By the parallel axis theorem, the displaced parallel axis has
(1)
Equivalently, every mass element is the same perpendicular distance from that axis, so the defining integral immediately gives this result.
