Association of hypertension and dyslipidaemia with increasing obesity in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: The study was performed to estimate the association of hypertension and dyslipidaemia with increasing body weight and obesity in Type II diabetics of Lahore, Pakistan. An observational study was conducted by enrolling 2708 obese diabetics from four diabetes care centres of Lahore, Pakistan. Data was collected for a period of 7 months. Associations were estimated using chi-square, binary and multinomial logistic regression. Data suggested that blood pressure, systolic and diastolic, exhibited continual increase… Show more

“…In this study, findings showed that the mean body mass index (BMI) in the patients was 29.26 ± 2.49 kg/m 2 and indicates overweight, which was consistent with the studied by Wei et al ( 18), Zhou et al (19) and Saleem et al (20). Obesity is very common in type 2 diabetes (≥80% of patients are obese), also it is thought to be part of the pathogenic process.…”

“…According to a cross-sectional study of diabetic adults 28-75 years old in the Diabetes Clinic of Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz, Khuzestan Province, Iran, there was a strong association between WC and hypertension prevalence in diabetic patients [47]. Saleem et al [48] suggested that hypertension is closely related to obesity in individuals with diabetes and that hypertension is more likely to be present as weight and obesity increase in individuals with diabetes in Lahore, Pakistan. Our results are in agreement with the results of previous studies [11,46,47,[68][69][70] related to HDC, indicating that WHtR and WC were better indicators than other anthropometric indices in men and women and that BMI was an insufficient predictor of HDC.…”

“…However, WC does not consider height, and WHtR, which reflects the ratio of WC to height, has recently been reported as a risk factor for diabetes [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] and hypertension [30,36,44,45]. These obesity-related indicators are also known as risk factors for HDC [46][47][48]. However, these obesityrelated indicators cannot distinguish between body fat mass and muscle mass.…”
