Study of Correlation of Waist–Hip Ratio and Lipid Profile in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Subjects
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
India is being called the diabetic capital of the world, with over 30 million diabetic individuals. Anthropometric parameters have evolved into reliable indicators for predicting the incidence of diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods A total of 100 patients collected from New Medical Hospital, Kota (Rajasthan), India. Weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference were measured. Waist–hip ratio (WHR) was calculated. Samples were analysed on autoanalyser. Results and Discussion In the present study, we found that the WHR is not significantly associated with lipid parameters in male patients except for TG and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Non-significant correlation was obtained in female patients. Statistically negative significant correlation was found in serum for HDL between fifth and sixth decade of life. No significant correlation was found in any other age groups. Summary and Conclusion WC and WHR are the important indicators of obesity and can be used to predict incidence of obesity in Indian population. Further broad study is advised.
