Abstract
To evaluate the association of new anthropometric indicators with glycemic control in overweight patients with type II diabetes. Methods: The sample consisted of 164 type II diabetic patients selected for convenience. Demographic, socioeconomic variables and time since diabetes diagnosis were collected using a structured questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements of weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference were taken. The Body Mass Index (BMI), BodyShape Index (ABSI), BodyShapeRoundness Index (BRI) and Body Adipose Index (BAI) indicators were calculated. The 12-hour fasting blood samples were collected by means of digital puncture by a trained professional. Patients were classified into two groups: controlled (≤ 130 mg/dL) and altered (> 130 mg/dL) glycemia. To evaluate models adjusted for glycemic control (dependent variable) and new indicators (independent variables), logistic regression was used. Results: There was a correlation of the new anthropometric indicators with the body mass index. It was observed that there were no differences in the means of BMI, WC and the new indicators (ABSI, BRI, IAC) between glycemic control status. The new anthropometric indicators were not associated with glycemic control in type II diabetics, only ABSI in women was associated with altered glycemia (OR=3.81; p=0.040). Conclusion: We conclude that the ABSI anthropometric method in women is associated with glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
