It is widely reported that obesity is one of the major risk factors for developing type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and also carries with it a higher risk of diabetic complications.
Body Mass Index was examined in type 2 diabetes mellitus complications and the prevalence of overweight and obesity were determined.
fifty-two type 2 diabetic patients were studied. 13 patients with diabetic nephropathy, 16 were hypertensive diabetics while 23 were normotensive diabetics. The weight, height and blood pressure of the patients were measured and the BMI were calculated.
The mean BMI was highest in the diabetic nephropathy patients (27.9+/-1.0) and lowest in the hypertensive diabetics (25.5+/-5.2) P=0.0001. The prevalence of overweight and obesity were 31 and 46 respectively in diabetic nephropathy compared with 19 and 12.5 respectively in diabetics with hypertension.
Overweight and obesity are more common in diabetics with nephropathy compared with normotensive and hypertensive diabetic patients.
大量报道表明，肥胖是2型糖尿病发生的主要危险因素之一，并且还伴有更高的糖尿病并发症风险。
研究2型糖尿病并发症患者的体重指数，确定超重和肥胖的患病率。
对52例2型糖尿病患者进行研究。其中13例患有糖尿病肾病，16例为高血压糖尿病患者，23例为血压正常的糖尿病患者。测量患者的体重、身高和血压，并计算体重指数。
糖尿病肾病患者的平均体重指数最高（27.9±1.0），高血压糖尿病患者最低（25.5±5.2），P = 0.0001。糖尿病肾病患者超重和肥胖的患病率分别为31%和46%，而高血压糖尿病患者分别为19%和12.5%。
与血压正常和高血压的糖尿病患者相比，超重和肥胖在糖尿病肾病患者中更为常见。
