Context and objectives: To establish correlations between obesity, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, serum glucose and systolic Blood Pressure (BP) correlated to the risk of developing diabetes. Materials and Methods: We made a study on a group of 108 subjects, women and men. The answers we got were included in a database statistically processed in Medcalc and Excel softwares. Results: The high values of glucose are recorded in people with BMI between 35-39.99 and are represented by women with ages raging between 60-69 years old. Total cholesterol serum and glucose values are more suggestive in the case of people aged between 60-69. The high creatinine values (>1.2 mg/dl) are represented by women aged between 60-69 years. High levels of systolic blood pressure can be seen in women aged 60-69 years old. Conclusions: Obesity associated with high glucose values is a major risk factor for developing diabetes and its complications especially in people aged 50 and over.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
