Microalbuminuria(MAU) And Its Relationship With Anthropometric Variables In Type 2 Diabetic And Non Diabetic Females Of Dakshina Kannada District In Indian Population

We aimed at studying MAU and its relationship with anthropometric variables in type 2 diabetic and non diabetic females of Dakishina Kannada district in Indian population. 205 participants without diabetes and 226 participants with type 2 diabetes of the study group were recruited. Out of which 73 females were diabetic and 111 were healthy subjects and used as control. These participants were free from any pre existing complications. Their anthropometric variables, blood pressure and MAU contents were assessed accordingly. When the anthropometric variables and diastolic blood pressure with MAU in two groups were compared, we found a highly significant (p<0.001) relationship. The mean value of MAU (30.8±26.9) in type 2 diabetics was higher when compared with Non diabetic females(17.3±12.7).Diastolic blood pressure showed statistical significance in type 2 diabetics when compared with non diabetic females(p<0.001). Anthropometric variables showed a high significance in type 2 diabetic and non diabetic females when compared with MAU. Diastolic blood pressure was significantly high in type 2 diabetic when compared with non diabetic females. Thus it reveals that anthropometric variables can be used as a target for primary adjourner of renal and cardio vascular disease.
