The characteristics of pre-diabetic patients associated with body composition and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the Iranian population

Abstract: Background:Different populations have shown various patterns of association between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and body composition parameters and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The current study aimed at investigating the differences between persons with prediabetes and healthy people in terms of CVD risk factors including body composition parameters, blood pressure, and lipid profile in a sample of the Iranian population.Materials and Methods:In a case-control setting, a sample containing … Show more

“…In our study, we found significant increased levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, and VLDL-C in prediabetic subjects as compared to controls except for HDL-C, which was significantly decreased. This dyslipidemic pattern in prediabetes is very much similar to the findings of previous studies [ 7 , 8 , 24 ]. Insulin resistance may lead to the abnormality of lipid and lipoprotein in the hyperglycemic state.…”

“…There is complex interaction between genetic, environmental, and abnormal behavioral factors[ 28 ] in FDRs of HT which can be targeted for prevention. A recent study[ 29 ] has shown that cardiovascular risk factors are significantly higher in prediabetic than normal FDRs of diabetics with age group same as our study. This and our results further hint to a potential of research in this direction for possible preventive measures such as lifestyle modifications.…”

“…This is in contrast to a previous study which stated that WC, while measuring T2DM risk depends on BMI and both should be included in risk assessment [ 41 ]. In addition to the findings from Gholi et al that WC and plasma TG levels were higher in subjects with PD [ 42 ], the significant association of TG with WC was also found to be effective to predict PD [ 15 ]. Though TG got preference over TG/HDL-C in the present study, a recent research evidence reported WC to be included in the final regression analysis with TG/HDL-C in newly diagnosed T2DM [ 43 ].…”
