Suresh K. Sinha, Nagarajan Raghupathy

Abstract :

 

Aim–To know the prevalence of obesity and status of blood sugar and lipid control in diabetics attending Endocrine clinic in an Industrial hospital.

 

                             Patients and Methods–Prospective cross–sectional, observational study

                          comprising of 259 patients conducted during the year Feuary 2014 to

January 2016.

 

Results–The patient population consisting of 150 females and 109 males. Majority of the diabetics (89.18%) were middle aged(between 40–60 years). Only 6.1% of diabetics were older than

 

60 years. Mean age in males was 54±5.83, but in female diabetics

 

Mean age was 50.64±6.25 years. Mean BMI was comparable in both

 

the sexes (males–25± 3, females–24.97± 4.12).  Around a quarter of male diabetics were in normal weight category, whereas 30% of females were having normal BMI. 70% of females and 74.31% of males were in overweight, obese to very obese category. Of note 33% of females fell in the category of Metabolic syndrome and only 8% of males had Metabolic syndrome. Blood sugar was well controlled in 28% females, uncontrolled in 58% whereas, 50.45% of males had good control of blood sugar. Interestingly 69.33% of female diabetics had low HDL–C and only13.76% males were having low HDL–C. One third of both males (34.86%) and females (36.66%)had LDL–C in the range of 70–100 mg/dl. 32.02% of diabetic males and 24.6% of females had triglyceride 150mg/dl. 56% females had triglyceride between 151–400 mg/dl and 44.9% of male diabetics had triglyceride between 151–400 mg/dl.

 

Conclusion–Obesity and metabolic syndrome is quite common in diabetics, more so in females. Over and above, with available treatment, blood sugar and lipids remain uncontrolled in majority of patients.
