BACKGROUND
Obesity is common in type 2 diabetic patients in some of the Middle Eastern countries, which are amongst the countries with highest rates of diabetes mellitus and obesity.
OBJECTIVES
We conducted this study to assess the prevalence of obesity in Yemeni patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Body mass index (BMI) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were 25-years-old or older was measured during their first visit to an endocrinology and diabetes clinic in Sana'a, Yemen over a 4-year period from May 2007 to May 2011.
RESULTS
The BMI was measured in 1640 patients (721 males and 919 females) who attended the clinic. According to the measured BMI, 328 (45.5%), 314 (43.5%), 79 (11%) of the male patients were non-obese (BMI < 25 kg/m(2)), overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m(2)), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2)), respectively. On the other hand, 256 (28%), 369 (40.0%), and 294 (32%) of the female patients were non-obese (BMI < 25 kg/m(2)), overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m(2)), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2)), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The prevalence of obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Yemen is high with respect to the Yemeni population, especially in females.
背景
肥胖在一些中东国家的2型糖尿病患者中很常见，这些国家是糖尿病和肥胖率最高的国家之一。
目的
我们开展这项研究以评估也门2型糖尿病患者的肥胖患病率。
患者与方法
在2007年5月至2011年5月的4年期间，对年龄在25岁及以上的2型糖尿病患者首次前往也门萨那的内分泌与糖尿病诊所就诊时测量其体重指数（BMI）。
结果
对前来该诊所就诊的1640名患者（721名男性和919名女性）测量了BMI。根据测量的BMI，男性患者中分别有328名（45.5%）非肥胖（BMI<25kg/m²）、314名（43.5%）超重（BMI 25 - 29.9kg/m²）和79名（11%）肥胖（BMI≥30kg/m²）。另一方面，女性患者中分别有256名（28%）非肥胖（BMI<25kg/m²）、369名（40.0%）超重（BMI 25 - 29.9kg/m²）和294名（32%）肥胖（BMI≥30kg/m²）。
结论
就也门人群而言，也门2型糖尿病患者的肥胖患病率较高，尤其是在女性中。
