Excessive carbohydrate consumption and body mass index: the risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome in Tamil Nadu population

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a distinct hepatic condition that is strongly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This study was designed to assess the magnitude of NAFLD and its concomitant risk factors among patients with T2DM.Methods: In a hospital based observational descriptive study, 150 patients with T2DM were submitted to a complete clinical and laboratory evaluation; abdominal ultrasonography for NAFLD detection and grading. Patients with known chronic liver disease and history of alcohol intake were excluded. They were divided into fatty and non-fatty liver group: evaluated, compared and statistical analysis done.Results: Out of 150 patients with T2DM, 104 (69.33%) had fatty liver on USG. 42.67% had grade 1, 24% had grade 2, and the remaining 2.67% had grade 3 fatty changes in liver. The severity of NAFLD increased with increasing age (r-value = +0.554, p<0.001). Statistically significant difference in Body Mass Index (29.64±4.36 v/s 25.94±3.25 kg/m2, p<0.001) and triglycerides (175.47±24.82 v/s 128.53±26.66 mg/dl, p<0.001) was observed in the fatty liver group as compared to non-fatty liver group.Conclusions: The magnitude of NAFLD is higher in type 2 diabetic patients. Older age group, Body Mass Index (BMI) and triglyceride (TG) had significant relationship with the presence of fatty liver. Ultrasonographic evidence of fatty liver with older age, elevation of triglyceride level and increasing BMI should be taken seriously as a predictor of severity of NAFLD.

Diabetes Mellitus Type Ii

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is closely related to Body Mass Index. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is very influential on the quality of life of patients and requires substantial health costs. The prevalence of this disease is increasing every year due to changes in lifestyle behavior. Diabetes Mellitus can be prevented, delayed by controlling risk factors. One of the risk factors for diabetes mellitus type II is a high body mass index. The purpose of this research is designed prototype of Body Mass Index. This device consists of load cell sensors and ultrasonic sensors used to measure body weight and height. The accuracy of Body Mass Index Device is 98.5%. So this can be proposed as tools for measuring Body Mass Index. The number of subject in this research is 17. The result shows that 29.4% is categorized Body Mass Index with risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Excess weight contributes to the development and progression of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Distorted body image amongst urban Black women and the perception that thinness is linked with HIV, may however be compounding the problem, particularly in areas with a high HIV burden.Objectives: This study aimed to compare the perception of body image in urban Black women with and without T2DM.Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted on 328 Black women systematically sampled into two groups (with and without T2DM). Body mass index (BMI) (weight [kg]/height[m2]) was determined and the adapted Stunkard Body Image Silhouettes for Black women was used to determine perceived body image (PBI).Results: Seventy-two per cent had T2DM and in this group 89% were obese, with a mean BMI of 39.5 kg/m2 (s.d. ± 8.5). In the non-diabetes group (NDG) 44% were obese, with a mean BMIof 31.3 kg/m2 (s.d. ± 9.0) Black women underestimated their body image across all weight categories (p < 0.05). Both groups (99% of the study group) also perceived thinness as being associated with HIV.Conclusions: This study identified an incongruence between PBI and actual BMI amongst urban Black women. This, combined with their belief that thinness is associated with HIV, places those with T2DM at risk of secondary complications arising from diabetes mellitus, and those without diabetes mellitus at a higher risk of developing T2DM. A discrepancy between PBI and BMI may therefore serve as a risk marker to alert clinicians to use a more ethno-cultural specific approach in engaging with urban Black women regarding weight loss strategies in the future.
