Blood biochemical parameters and anthropometric indexes among people with risk factors for type 2 diabetes

ABSTRACT

Background: Diabetes is a common chronic glucide metabolic disorder affecting hundreds of millions of people around the world. In Vietnam, the number of people with risk of type 2 diabetes is approximately 5 million. \r\n', u'Objectives: To discover the changes of blood biochemical parameters and mean body mass index (SMIJ waist circumference in individuals with diabetic risk factors). \r\n', u'Method: 95 people with diabetic risk factors were selected by screening. One group was in Ngoc Trao or Phu Son wards (n=52) and other group was in Sa Dinh ward (n=43). \r\n', u'Results: In Ngoc Trao and Phu Son wards the prevalence of blood glucose, cholesterol triglyceride, HDL, LDL disorders and SMI>23 were 65.3%, 32.7%, 46.2%, 1.9%, 36.5%, 61.5%, respectively. In Sa Dinh ward those were 62.8%, 29.7%, 44.2%, 2.3%, 34.9% and 67.4%, respectively. \r\n', u'Conclusion: Disorders of blood biochemical parameters accounted for very high rate in individuals with diabetic risk factors and could be considered main risk factors. \r\n', u'
