A Study of Correlation of Body Mass Index, Waist to Hip Ratio and Lipid Profile in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Subjects
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction:Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major causative risk factor of increased cardiovascular (CVD) events. The studies clarifying the relationship between the anthropometric parameterslike body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR), and the lipid profile values of type 2 DM patients are sparse.Measurement of alternate markers of dyslipidemia and CVD is important for preventing CVD end-points, especially in diabetic subjects Aim: To study correlation between BMI, WHR and lipid profile in recently diagnosed type 2 DM patients. Materials and Methods:This Cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 cases of recently (within 3 months) diagnosed type 2 DM, in department of Medicine, Rajindra Hospital/ Government Medical College, Patiala, over a period of 2 years. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to see the correlation between BMI, WHR and lipid profile. For all statistical analyses, a P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Statistically significant positive correlations were seen between BMI and WHR in both males (r= 0.262, p=0.031) and females (r =0.555, p< 0.001). Statistically significant positive correlations were found between WHR and total cholesterol (r=0.367, p=0.002), WHR and triglycerides (r=0.404, p= <0.001), WHR and LDL-Cholesterol (r=0.437, p= <0.001), and negative correlation was observed between WHR and HDL-Cholesterol in males (r=-0.683, p<0.001), while significant correlations were not seen between WHR and lipid parameters in females. Statistically significant correlations were not seen BMI and lipid profile in total population. Conclusion: In recently diagnosed type 2 DM, BMI does not correlate with lipid profile. WHR correlates with lipid profile in males but there is no such correlation seen in females. Overall, it is advisable that along with the measurement of anthropometric parameters like BMI and WHR, the lipid profile should also be monitored separately in patients with type 2 DM.
