A cross-sectional study of anthropometric parameters (weight and height) and body mass index (BMI) of 212 type 2 diabetic patients was conducted in Ibadan, Oyo State, South-Western Nigeria between January and March 2002. Pretested Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to obtain information on the socio-economic and medical profiles of the patients who had been attending the dietetic clinics of a teaching hospital and a state hospital respectively for medical treatment and dietary counseling for at least 6 months. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 55 (13.7) years. Fifty-seven percent of them were women and forty-three percent men. The mean (SD) weights of the male and female patients were 67.4 (11.7) kg and 64.1 (4.6) kg respectively. Majority (83%) of the patients were either overweight or obese. The female patients were significantly more obese than the males (P < 0.001). This study concludes that certain dietary measures and regular moderate exercise which could enhance the achievement and maintenance of ideal body weight should be given emphasis in the management of type 2 diabetic patients.
2002年1月至3月期间，在尼日利亚西南部奥约州伊巴丹对212名2型糖尿病患者的人体测量参数（体重和身高）及体重指数（BMI）进行了一项横断面研究。使用经过预测试的访谈者管理问卷，获取分别在一家教学医院和一家州立医院的饮食诊所接受至少6个月治疗和饮食咨询的患者的社会经济和医学概况信息。患者的平均（标准差）年龄为55（13.7）岁。其中57%为女性，43%为男性。男性和女性患者的平均（标准差）体重分别为67.4（11.7）千克和64.1（4.6）千克。大多数（83%）患者超重或肥胖。女性患者比男性明显更肥胖（P<0.001）。本研究得出结论，在2型糖尿病患者的管理中应强调某些饮食措施和定期适度运动，这有助于实现和维持理想体重。
