Background: Diabetes mellitus coexists at a greater frequency with hypertension, obesity, central obesity, and dyslipidemia. Obesity has been identified as the most important modifiable risk factor in the aetiology of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Central obesity has been shown to be the most pathogenically important in the causation of metabolic disorders including type-2 diabetes. Aims: To determine the association of central obesity with type 2 diabetes in Bangladeshi women. Subjects and Methods: A total of 60 type 2 diabetic female subjects along with 60 healthy female subjects were recruited in this study. Anthropometric indices were measured using standard techniques. Serum glucose was measured using glucose-oxidase method, insulin was measured using ELISA and thyroid hormones were measured using chemiluminescence based automated Immulite Auto analyzer (DPC, USA). Insulin secretory capacity and insulin sensitivity were estimated using fasting glucose and fasting insulin by HOMA-CIGMA software. Results: Waist circumference of the control (89±8) subjects was significantly (p=0.046) lower than the diabetic (94±11) subjects. Waist-hip ratio of the control subjects was significantly lower compared to diabetic subjects. Fasting plasma insulin level in control subjects (7.6±2.2) was significantly (p=0.009) lower compared to diabetic subjects (11.8±9.8). Plasma lipid profile and thyroid hormone status in control and diabetic subjects were not found significantly different. Insulin secretory capacity (HOMA %B) and insulin sensitivity (HOMA%S) in control subjects (93±21, 95±39 respectively) were found to be significantly higher com-pared to diabetic subjects (45±32, 67±42 respectively). In age-adjusted binary logistic regression analysis, waist circumference was found to be significantly associated with diabetes. In multiple linear regression analysis TSH was found to be significantly associated with waist circumference. Conclusion: Waist circumference may be an independent indicator for the development type 2 diabetes in Bangladeshi women which may have influenced by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

1. The activity of serum butyrylcholinesterase (‘pseudocholinesterase’, EC3.1.1.8) was investigated in 56 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, 51 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 101 healthy control subjects. 2. Butyrylcholinesterase activity was significantly elevated in both type 1 (8.10 ± 3.35 units/ml) and type 2 (7.22 ± 1.95 units/ml) diabetes compared with the control subjects (4.23 ± 1.89 units/ml) (P <0.001). 3. In the patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was correlated with log serum fasting triacylglycerol concentration (r = 0.41 and r = 0.43, respectively, P <0.001). In the type 2 population serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was also correlated with insulin sensitivity (r = −0.51, P <0.001). 4. Serum butyrylcholinesterase activity was unrelated to age, gender, serum γ-glutamyltranspeptidase activity, body mass index, or treatment for diabetes in both the diabetic populations. 5. In 37 non-diabetic patients with butyrylcholinesterase deficiency serum triacylglycerol levels were in the normal range. 6. These results are consistent with the view that butyrylcholinesterase may have a role in the altered lipoprotein metabolism in hypertriglyceridaemia associated with insulin insensitivity or insulin deficiency in diabetes mellitus.

Obesity, especially central obesity is often associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a disease of the number six cause of death in Indonesia with the proportion of deaths by 5.8%. The purpose of this study was to identify central obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Poly Endocrine Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. The study design was descriptive study. The sample was 100 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients taken with purposive sampling technique. The variable was central obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The data obtained by interviewing patients and performing measurements on body weight, height and waist circumference. Data were analyzed by interpreting how the description of the variables studied and compared with other studies and theories. The results was the characteristics of patients most were female (66%), level of education was medium, unemployment, most of patient’s age was more than 50 years old, 43% for interval 51-60 years old, 43% were 1,50-1,59 meters in height and 28% were 50-59 kilograms and 28% were 60-69 kilograms in weight. According to Body Mass Index (BMI) measure that 54% the patients are normal in average 25,56 8,12 kg/m2. Measurement of waist circumference showed that 73.5% male and 81.8% female patients had central obesity. The conclusions, precentage of patients with type II diabetes mellitus who have central obesity were 81,82% female and 73, 53% male.

INTRODUCTION: Many studies have shown the association of waist circumference, waist hip ratio and body mass index with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Waist circumference and waist hip ratio have been used as measures of central obesity and body mass index has been used as a measure of general obesity. Objective of this study is to find out which type of obesity is better for prediction of risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.  MATERIAL AND METHODS:Total 100 participants with confirmed diagnosis of type 2 DM with age group 35-80 years were selected for the study. Anthropometric measurements like height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference were measured and body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for correlating the parameters with type 2 diabetes mellitus in both male and female patients.  RESULTS: Area under ROC curve, a measure of performance of the indices in predicting diabetes in total subjects, was found to be highest for waist hip ratio (0.840) followed by waist circumference (0.688) and BMI (0.608). Similarly, area under ROC curve was found maximum for waist hip ratio followed by waist circumference and body mass index in case of male and female patients.  CONCLUSION: The present study concludes that anthropometric indicators of central obesity (WHR and WC) are more predictive for type 2 DM than anthropometric indicator of general obesity (BMI).

Sports offer great benefits, improving health and reducing the risk of illnesses. This study’s aim was to investigate the prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus in football players compared to population based non-elite athlete control subjects. Initially 1100 male volunteers, (550) football players, and (550) population based non-elite athlete control subjects were interviewed. After socio-demographic and medical history analysis, 756 (378) nonsmoker male football players and (378) nonsmoker male control subjects were recruited. The control subjects were not involved in regular sports activities such as football, volleyball, badminton, cricket, hockey, and swimming. Participants with a known history of anemia, blood diseases, diabetes mellitus, and malignancy were excluded from the study. The mean age of football players was 31.80 ± 5.46 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) was 26.40 ± 2.08 (kg/m2), and the mean age of control subjects was 32.32 ± 4.37 years, and BMI was 26.66 ± 1.87 (kg/m2). The selected football players have been playing football for about 2 h a day, 3 days per week, and so the total mean duration of playing football was 1.08 years. American Diabetes Association (ADA) based criteria on Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) was used to investigate prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In football players the prevalence of prediabetes was 30 (7.93%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was 6 (1.59%) compared to population based matched non-elite athlete control subjects where the prediabetes was 71 (18.78%) and T2DM was 89 (23.54%) (p = 0.001). Among football players there was a 7-fold decrease in T2DM compared to control subjects. Football recreational activities markedly reduce the prevalence of prediabetes and T2DM. The study findings demonstrate the benefits of football and other such sport activities and emphasize the urgent need for promoting football based physical activities as a physiological preventive strategy against the globally growing diabetes epidemic.
