How Predictable are Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference in Detecting Dislipidemia in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Women?

Abstract

In this study we tried to find out whether BMI, indicator of general obesity, or waist circumference, indicator of abdominal obesity, is more decisive in predicting dislipidemia in diabetic and non-diabetic women. Data of 36 diabetic and 28 non-diabetic women whose BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², triyglyceride ≤ 400 mg /dl, for diabetics A1C ≤ 7,5%, without accompanying illness other than diabetes and using lipid lowering agents for the last 3 months was evaluated retrospectively. There was no correlation between BMI and waist circumference with lipid parameters. There was a positive correlation between hip circumference and tyrglyceride levels.(r=0,293, p

Diyabetik ve Non–Diyabetik Kadınlarda Dislipidemi İçin Beden Kitle İndeksi ve Bel Çevresi Ne Kadar Belirleyicidir ?

Abstract

Çalışmamızda diyabetik ve non diyabetik obez kadınlarda dislipidemiyi belirlemede genel obezite göstergesi olan Beden Kitle İndeksinin (BKİ) mi yoksa abdominal obezite göstergesi olan bel çevresinin mi daha etkin olduğunu değerlendirmeyi planladık. BKİ ≥ 25 kg/m² trigliserit düzeyi [ İngilizce Özet ] [ PDF ] [ Benzer Makaleler ]
