Body composition analysis, anthropometric indices and lipid profile markers as predictors for prediabetes

Abstract

ObjectivesTo compare different anthropometric indices, Body composition analysis and lipid profile markers in terms of their ability to predict prediabetes (PD).MethodsWe enrolled 83 subjects with PD and 84 normoglycemic subjects who were matched for age and gender. The diagnosis of prediabetes was done according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria. All subjects were aged between 30–55 years of age and visited the outpatient department of tertiary care hospital. Anthropometric and lipid profile measurements were obtained. Analysis of body composition was done using Bodystat 1500MDD Instrument. Backward logistic regression was performed for detecting the predictors of PD. A receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) with area under curve (AUC) was utilized for the accuracy of the predictors of PD.ResultsComparison of anthropometric measurement and body composition analysis parameters between the two groups showed that Waist circumference (WC), Body mass index, Body Fat% were significantly higher whereas Extracellular water and Dry lean weight in percentage (ECW% and DLW%) were found to be lower in PD (p< 0.05). Higher triglyceride (TG) levels and lower high-density cholesterol (HDL-C) with high TG/HDL-C were seen in subjects with PD. Backward logistic regression analysis found the combination of Body Fat % with WC, TG, ECW% and DLW% as strong predictors of PD. In ROC analysis, ECW% (AUC = 0.703) was the most predictive measure, followed by WC (AUC = 0.702).ConclusionThis study demonstrated that estimation of Body Fat % combined with waist circumference, Extracellular water and Dry lean weight in percentage are valuable in screening and diagnosis of prediabetes. Plasma levels of TG in lipid profile measurements can also serve as an additional marker for prediction of prediabetes.

A Study of the Association Between IL-17 and HOMA-IR in Iraqi Type 2 Diabetic Patients

“…The state of hypertriglyceridemia is of a considerable anxiety from a clinical point of view as this combination can more lead to dysregulation in glucose metabolism via inducing IR and beta -cell dysfunction [26]. The present study is consistent with Dixit et al, (2014) and Ozder (2014) who reported that hypertriglyceridemia may be due to the increased hepatic secretion of VLDL and delayed clearance of TG rich lipoproteins, which is predominantly due to increased levels of substrates for TG production, FFAs and glucose [27].…”

“…in their study on 83 prediabetic cases found the corresponding mean value to be 3.9. [35] Ozder et al . in their study found a value of 7.98 ± 3.8 mg/dL in the diabetic group.…”

Patterns of changes in serum lipid profile in prediabetic patients: Results from a 16-year prospective cohort study

“…For instance, in Framingham Heart (30) study, T2DM subjects compared to those without T2DM, had higher plasma TG levels and lower HDL levels. Vineetha et al in a case control study, was documented statistically signi cant higher values for TG and lower values for HDL in subjects with PD (31).…”
