“…In females, the correlation was negative in the fasting state and positive in the postprandial state. Our findings agree with those of Bakari et al 31 Other studies showed mixed results. 32,33 In this investigation, lipids concentrations were minimally different between men and women for the measurements performed in the fasting state.…”

Introduction: The magnitude of the healthcare problem of type-2-diabetes increases according to its association with several risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as obesity and dyslipidemia. Methods: This study took place in the north-western region of Algeria. We aimed to assess the effect of body weight and gender on postprandial lipid and glucose in type-2-diabetes patients. 93 diabetic patients (age 55.65±13.81 years) were studied. Anthropometric parameters and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Fasting and postprandial (PP) glucose and lipid (total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, apo A-I and apo B) profiles were evaluated. Results: There were a positive correlation between postprandial glucose and BMI in women (r2 = 0.041). Negative correlation with BMI was noticed for PP TG in both males (r2 = 0.011) and females (r2 = 0.021). A significant difference (p= 0.019) was observed for PP HDL-c in women (0.39 ± 0.10 g/L vs. men 0.33 ± 0.12 g/L) and also for PP apo A-I (women: 1.33 ± 0.27 g/L vs. men: 1.09 ± 0.34 g/L; p= 0.0003). According to gender and weight groups, our results indicated that female gender and overweight are associated with elevated PP HDL-c and PP apo A-I levels. However, obesity in women is related to high concentration of PP TG. Conclusions: The present study suggests that gender difference and weight classes are important factors that contribute to determining the postprandial responses, both for glucose and lipids, in type 2 diabetic patients. Keywords: gender difference; postprandial dyslipidemia; type 2 diabetes; weight groups.

“…The mean BMI found in our study was in the overweight range and is higher in females. This is similar to findings of another study in Nigeria [43]. High average BMI was also demonstrated in many studies in Asian [44][45][46][47][48].…”

Background: Obesity is a global epidemic and is on the rise. Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) which is equal to or more than 30kg/m 2. It is one of the modifiable risk factors of type 2 diabetes. This study was undertaken to assess the relationship between BMI, WHR, RBS and BP. Method: This cross-sectional study included 776 apparently healthy adult individuals who met the inclusion criteria. Random blood samples were collected to measure RBS using glucometers. Data on BMI, waist and hip circumference and blood pressure were collected from apparently healthy individuals. Result: The mean BMI was in the overweight range, 25.49±5.15 kg/m 2 and was higher in females. About two-thirds (62.8%) of the participants had abnormally elevated WHR. RBS, SBP and DBP increased significantly with increasing BMI status (p=0.000, p=0.000 and p=0.007 respectively) and were significantly higher with abnormally elevated WHR than in participants with normal WHR (p=0.000, p=0.000 and p=0.000 respectively). However, overweight individuals tended to have a higher RBS than the obese. There was a significant correlation between BMI and RBS (0.083, p=0.020), SBP (0.206, p=0.000) and DBP (0.152, p=0.000). There was a slightly stronger correlation between WHR and RBS (0.093, p=0.009), SBP (0.273, p=0.000) and DBP (0.217, p=0.000). Conclusion: BMI and WHR are positively correlated with RBS and blood pressure in Nigeria. The Nigerian population is therefore at risk of Obesity and its related conditions (hyperglycemia and hypertension).

“…1 The findings of this study suggested that for screening purpose, waist hip ratio had least applicability while those who had blood sugar level have high waist hip ratio. 18,19 During Health camp, all the participants were counseled regarding BMI and hip waist ratio and blood sugar level. Out of 46 participants who recorded high blood sugar, all the participants were advised for follow up in health centers for needed interventions if any.…”

Background: Diabetes mellitus is increasing in alarming number worldwide. The main predisposing factor being daily lifestyle which leads to obesity and other complications. Early diagnosis and life style modification among high risk group can decrease the burden of disease. This study was done to find out the random blood sugar level and assess the relationships between body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR) and random blood sugar among the study population. Methods: A cross sectional study was done using retrospective data collected at the health camp conducted during month of October 2018. The study area was Nagarjun and Chandragiri municipalities of Kathmandu district. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. The chi square test was used to assess relation between BMI,WHR and Random blood sugar. Results: The number of participants in this study was 274. Majority of the participants, (92.7%) had random blood sugar level 200mg/dl or less. Those having RBS of more than 200mg/dl were 7.3%. Among all participants, 16.06% were obese. Further the obese participants showed high waist hip ratio in 81.8% and 9.1% of them had moderate or low waist hip ratio. Further, 46 participants showed diabetic blood sugar level and were either overweight (39.13%) or obese (28.26%). Conclusions: This study concluded that those who had diabetic blood sugar level or high waist hip ratio had increases BMI. So such screening and preventive programme should be further expanded and even at clinical level. Additionally, patients must be counseled the reason for measuring BMI and RBS and its application for their health promotion.
