Prevalence of Obesity Among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus In Gorgan (South East of Caspian Sea), Iran
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of obesity in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Gorgan (South East of Caspian Sea), Iran. The subjects consist of 122 females and 78 males type 2 diabetic patients. Anthropometric and laboratory parameters in both sexes were determined (2011).Waist circumference was higher in males than females subjects (p<0.05), but the females had higher body fat percent (p<0.05) than males subjects. Using BMI, 86.88% females and 83.33% males were obese and 13.11% and 16.66% of them were none-obese (p=0.739, p=0.505). Using waist circumference, 86.06% females and 74.35% males were obese and 13.92% and 25.63% of them were none-obese (p<0.001, p=0.008). Waist circumference is correlated positively with BMI and body fat percent in diabetic female (r=0.233 and r=0.892, p<0.05) and male (r=0.280 and r=0.931, p<0.05). Waist circumference is very highly correlated with body fat percent likely to behave similarly in diabetes prediction. Body mass index, despite lower correlation with waist circumference, appears to have the same ability to predict diabetes as do body fat percent. Waist circumference appears to be a better predictor for diabetes risk than other parameters.
