Abstract
Introduction: Obesity affects all socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities and is a pre-requisite for metabolic syndrome.4 In most people with type 2 diabetes, there is a multiple set of risk factors that commonly appear together, forming Metabolic Syndrome. Hence, the present study was conducted to study basal metabolic index (BMI), waist cirucmference and diabetes in metabolic disorder patients and were compared with age and gender matched controls. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted 50 cases of Metabolic syndrome and 50 controls (age and gender matched) were enrolled into the study. Patients were underwent relevant investigations along with fasting blood sugars. After eight hours of overnight fasting, blood samples for fasting blood glucose were taken. Waist circumference and BMI were measured. Student t test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: In the present study significant difference (p<0.001) was noted with respect to height, weight, waist circumference and fasting blood sugar among cases and control groups. Majority of subjects in the case group were overweight (56.5% males, 51.9% females) whereas in case of controls, most of the subjects had normal BMI (81.8% males, 96.4% females). 92% cases had Fasting Blood Sugar >100 and mean blood sugar was 166.2mg/dl. 98% controls had Fasting Blood Sugar <100mg/dl with mean blood sugar 85.2mg/dl. Conclusion: Obesity is an established risk factor for type 2 diabetes and a central component of metabolic. Basal metabolic index and waist circumference is an effective method of assessing body weight and should be recommended as routine procedure to prevent obesity related disorders in adults. Hence, it provides an alternative method to predict the risk of metabolic syndrome.
