Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess magnitude of metabolic syndrome and its associated factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. A hospital based cross sectional study design was used. Binary logistic regression model was used. Result A total of 419 respondents (208 males and 211 females) were enrolled; the mean age was 56.39 (SD 10.18), 51.1% of the respondents had metabolic syndrome according to international diabetes federation. Sex and age were statistically associated with metabolic syndrome with [AOR (95% CI) 1.93 (1.057, 3.533) and 1.04 (1.012, 1.072)] respectively. Regular physical exercise, overweight and obesity were statistically associated with metabolic syndrome with [AOR (95% CI) 1.84 (1.002, 3.362), 2.68 (1.518, 4.747) and 3.55 (1.254, 10.074)] respectively. To conclude, Magnitude of metabolic syndrome was high. The associated factors for metabolic syndrome are physical inactivity, inadequate intake of fruits, family history, overweight, and obesity.

Background/Aims: The effect of low carbohydrate diet on human health is still controversial. Whole grain, which is carbohydrate rich in fiber, has protective effects on human health. Thus, we assumed that intake of carbohydrate to fiber ratio has an important role in human health. Methods: This is a post-hoc analysis of a cross-sectional study of 164 patients with type 2 diabetes. Habitual food and nutrient intake were assessed and estimated by a self-administered diet history questionnaire. Intake of carbohydrate to fiber ratio was defined as carbohydrate (g)/fiber intake (g). Logistic regression analyses were performed to reveal the association between intake of carbohydrate to fiber ratio and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Results: Intake of carbohydrate to fiber ratio has closely associated with metabolic parameters, including triglycerides (r = 0.21, p = 0.007) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = –0.23, p = 0.003). Intake of carbohydrate to fiber ratio was associated with MetS (OR 1.06 [95% CI 1.00–1.13], p = 0.047) after adjusting for covariates, whereas carbohydrate intake (1.00 [0.99–1.01], p = 0.752) or carbohydrate energy/total energy (1.00 [0.94–1.07], p = 0.962) was not associated with MetS. Conclusions: Intake of carbohydrate to fiber ratio was associated with MetS, whereas carbohydrate intake was not.
