Abstract
BACKGROUND: Type-2 diabetes mellitus has increased exponentially in urban populations and that even the underprivileged are not exempt. Changing societal structures and lifestyles are accelerating it. Proximate causes for this epidemic are excessive consumption of calories and declining physical activity, which leads to increasing in obesity, especially central obesity. MATERIAL & METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted from October 2010 to October 2012. Waist Hip Ratio was correlated with the disease. Total 120 cases were studied. RESULTS: Out of 120 patients 88 (73.33%) are male and 32 (26.66%) are female. most common age period in which prevalence of diabetes found in each sub groups is 40-59years. Lean and Ideal body weight (IBW) patients are having abnormal WHR despite having BMI of <25. More than half (52.5%) of lean patients and 82.5% of IBW patients are having abnormal high WHR where as in obese group all patients (100%) are having abnormal WHR. CONCLUSION: Central obesity, as measured by the WHR, is importantly and independently associated with NIDDM irrespective of BMI.
