“…The increasing prevalence of obesity contributes substantially to the ongoing epidemic of type 2 diabetes [ 10 ]. According to current statistics, diabesity will become the major cause of chronic diseases worldwide by the year 2020 [ 11 ], and thus represents a substantial current and future economic burden in both developed and developing countries [ 8 ]. The deleterious health effects of T2DM are largely due to comorbidities and complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and dyslipidemia, which can result in poor quality of life and reduced life expectancy.…”

BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-associated mortality and morbidity are strongly dependent on glycemic control. With T2DM prevalence increasing in China, we aimed to assess glycemic control rates in Chinese T2DM outpatients.Material/MethodsA total of 9065 adult T2DM outpatients (5035 men) were assessed in 26 Chinese medical centers between August 2010 and April 2012. Patients were stratified according to BMI (kg/m2): <24, 24–28, and >28. Successful glycemic control was defined as glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤7% or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) <7.0 mmol/L.ResultsAmong the participants included in this study, 2939 had BMI <24, 3361 had BMI of 24–28, and 2764 had BMI >28. The glycemic control rate was only 32.6%, and the triple control rate for glycemia, blood pressure, and lipidemia was only 11.2%. Glycemic control rates by BMI group were 33.7% (<24), 33.8% (24–28), and 30.2% (>28) (p=0.005), and corresponding incidences of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were 12.2%, 15.7%, and 15.9% (p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that older age (p<0.001), higher BMI (p=0.026), larger waist circumference (p<0.001), less education (p<0.001), and recent diagnosis (p<0.001) were independent risk factors for poor glycemic control.ConclusionsThe T2DM glycemic control rate in China is currently low, especially in older obese patients with poor education and recent diagnosis.

Análisis del concepto diabesidad, mediante la metodología de Walker y Avant, los cuales proponen ocho pasos: (1) Selección del concepto: se seleccionó dada la carga global de morbi-mortalidad atribuida a la diabetes y obesidad. (2) Objetivo del análisis: reunir información sobre la diabesidad para tener una línea de base sobre la utilización e implicaciones del mismo. (3) Identificar los usos: se ha usado para designar simultáneamente a la obesidad y diabetes dentro de la salud pública. (4) Características y atributos del concepto: se identifican diversas características relacionadas con alteraciones en todos los sistemas corporales, especialmente en el metabólico. (5) Caso modelo y (6) Caso contrario/límite: ambos se realizaron con base en la literatura. (7) Identificación de antecedentes y consecuencias: dentro de los antecedentes se identifican los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y las consecuencias corresponden a las alternativas y tratamientos terapéuticos. (8) Definición de indicadores empíricos: se identificaron múltiples que contribuyen a medir diversas moléculas corporales relacionadas con obesidad y diabetes. Conclusión: La diabesidad es un padecimiento de alta prevalencia a nivel mundial, tiene repercusiones a nivel físico, psicológico y social, por tal motivo es importante la comprensión holística del fenómeno.
