The study of correlation between Body Mass Index and glycemic control-HbA1c in diabetes type 2 patients

Abstract

Background: Obesity has major adverse effects on health. Obesity is associated with an increase in mortality, with a 50-100% increased risk of death from all causes compared to normal-weight individuals, mostly due to cardiovascular causes. The aim of this study was to correlate Body Mass Index (BMI) and glycaemic control (HbA1c) in type 2 Diabetic patients.Methods: In this study 100 patients of type 2 diabetic were subjected to detailed history, clinical examination, BMI, HbA1c and routine biochemical investigations.Results: Out of 100 diabetic patients included in this study 62 of them were male and 38 were female. Among 100 patients. Majority of patients were overweight (BMI 25-29.9) which is account to about 58 of total cases, 30 patients were normal BMI and 12 patients were obese. Statistical analysis a positive correlation found between BMI and poor glycaemic control (HbA1c), which is significant.Conclusions: From this study it was concluded that obesity (BMI) is associated with poor glycaemic control.

Adult height and diabetes control: is there an association?

“…16 Sisodia et al concurred and found that obesity is associated with poor glycaemic control. 17 We postulate that these finding occurred due to the type of diabetes. In our study, PLWT1DM had significantly poorer glycaemia and were taller than PLWT2DM.…”

Multi-level analysis reveals the association between diabetes, body mass index, and HbA1c in an Iraqi population

“…The prevalence of T2D has risen exponentially in recent decades as a result of lifestyle changes 19 . Obesity almost doubled worldwide between 1980 and 2008 47 . In 2008, there were over 200 million obese men and over 300 million obese women worldwide, accounting for 11% of adults 47 .…”

“…Obesity almost doubled worldwide between 1980 and 2008 47 . In 2008, there were over 200 million obese men and over 300 million obese women worldwide, accounting for 11% of adults 47 . Also, BMI has been linked to an increase in metabolic disorders such as T2D 19 .…”

“…Furthermore, the Pearson correlation and PCA analysis revealed a relationship between HbA1c and BMI. It has been demonstrated that BMI is associated with poor glycemic control, as evidenced by a high HbA1c level 47 , 49 . Babikr et al 54 reported a positive relationship between BMI and HbA1c, which is similar to our findings.…”

“…It may be suggested as a diagnostic principle that identifies more cases of diabetes and pre-diabetes than fasting glucose or oral glucose tolerance tests. HbA1c is a good biomarker for diabetic complications and prediction of diabetic [43] .…”
