Abstract

  Context: Patients with diabetes have more number of coronary risk factors. Early identification of these risk factors is essential to prevent morbidity and mortality among them. Aims: To study prevalence of coronary risk factors in patients with type II diabetes. Settings and design: hospital based cross sectional study carried out at Department of Physiology Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. Methods and material: 60 patients of type II diabetes were included as per criteria of World Health Organization (1999). All patients were examined for presence of coronary risk factors like age, BMI, waist circumference, waist hip ratio, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Statistical analysis: The data was presented as mean and standard deviation and proportions. Results: Prevalence of overweight and obesity was equal among both the sexes. Higher waist circumference prevalence was more in males but central obesity was equal in both the sexes. Prevalence of smoking or tobacco use was very high in males. Overall physical inactivity prevalence was more in females. Prevalence of hypertension as well as that of dyslipidemia was also more in females. As the BMI increased, as the waist circumference increased, and as the duration of disease increased, the prevalence of coronary risk factors increased. Conclusion: Prevalence of coronary risk factors was very high in the present study.

Keywords: Smoking; Hypertension; Dyslipidemia; Diabetes; Risk Factors; BMI; Waist Circumference.
