Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Different studies showed that insufficiency of micronutrients intake such as vitamins D, E, C and some other micronutrients like copper, zinc and chrome are effective in the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary artery diseases and dyslipidemia and exacerbation of their complications. In addition, accumulation of fat in abdominal area (abdominal obesity) is considered as the most important risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to determine the association between micronutrients intake and waist circumference (WC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Tehran. In a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study 730 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected from several diabetic centers and The Iranian Nutrition Society. Waist circumference was measured. The validated food frequency questionnaire was completed by patients. Nutritional information analysis was conducted by software N3 and the statistical software SPSS version 18. Mean ± SD of age was 54 ± 6.5 year and WC in men and women were 94.8 ± 9.38 and 90.7 ± 10.9 cm, respectively. About 88% women and 55% men had abdominal obesity (above and equal 80 and 90 cm in women and men, respectively). There was positive and significant correlations between WC and sodium intake, lycopene, ?-tocoferol, vitamins E, B6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, biotin, phosphate, magnesium, zinc and copper. In addition, negative and significant relationships were found between WC and calcium, iron and chrome (P<0.05). According to these results, consuming sufficient diet with high content of calcium and chrome and low in sodium, phosphorus and magnesium for prevention and control of abdominal obesity and related complications is recommended.
