Abstract
Abstract: The objective of present study is to investigate the effectiveness of multiple adiposity indices to predict the hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia in the north Indian type-2 diabetic patients. In this study 128 women and 269 men type-2 diabetic patients were recruited. Data was collected through clinical evaluation and laboratory investigations. Body weight and height, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) were measured. Whereas, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Blood pressure (BP), fasting lipid profiles, and glucose and urine acid levels were evaluated. It is found that the Mean BMI for females was 28.62 (SD 5.57) kg/m2 and for males was 28.50 (SD 5.27) kg/m2. Whereas, mean WHR for females was 0.96 (SD 0.09) kg/m2 and for males was 1.05 (SD 0.06) kg/m2 and mean WHtR for females was 0.60 (SD 0.10) kg/m2 and for males was 0.58 (SD 0.12) kg/m2. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that WHtR is the best predictor for the classifying hypertension and dyslipidemia. Whereas, BMI is effective in predicting hyperuricemia in type-2 diabetic patients. Amongst type-2 diabetic patients of north Indian region WHtR is found to be the best predictor of dyslipidemia and hypertension.
