Background: Diabetes mellitus and depression are highly prevalent conditions throughout the world and have significant impact on health outcomes. It has been estimated that diabetes mellitus type 2 affects about 246 million people in the world; nevertheless, incidence varies among countries. There is evidence that depression is associated with a poor metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus that present other health problems (such as hypertension and obesity). The aim of this study protocol is to determine if obesity increases the risk for depression in patient with diabetes type 2.Methods: The analysis will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).The studies suitable for inclusion will be assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) to determine their methodological quality. To identify the studies of interest, we will search on PubMed and EBSCO databases. We will use the following keyword combinations: "Diabetes Mellitus type 2 AND obesity AND depression", "depression AND Diabetes Mellitus type 2", "Diabetes Mellitus type 2 AND body mass index cross sectional study", "depression AND obesity cross-sectional study". Causes for exclusion will be publications that studied patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 1; articles that focused on the treatment and complications of diabetes mellitus type 2; publications that have studied other clinical or psychiatric conditions (for instance, seizure disorder or history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, psychotic symptoms or dementia).Conclusion: The results of this study will form the basis for a better understanding of the association between obesity and depression in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, and will allow development of prediction tools and better interventions. It is evident that several modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes among population. Currently, evidence for the deleterious effects of diabetes mellitus type 2 are based on cross-sectional or other observational designs. Therefore, this study will have important implications for future research and public health guidance.

Background: Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk factor to health. A crude population measure of obesity is the body mass index (BMI), which is used to classify weight status, overweight is the person with a BMI of 25 or more, while a person with a BMI equal to or more than 30 is considered obese. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess public health students' perception on obesity &amp;overweight health risks, clarify students' knowledge, behaviors and practices that increases risks of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate students Knowledge, Perception, Behavior and Practices towards obesity among students of public health in Umm Al-Qura University, in which 50% of students (136)were randomly selected using stratified sampling technique. Results: The study clarified that (69.9%) of students understand BMI-obesity relationship, while (30.9) didn’t know, the study showed that among 136 students,124 (91.2%) understand obesity -diabetes mellitus type 2 relationships. Likewise, 112 (82.4%) understand the relationship between obesity and hypertension. The study found that out of 136 students (72.8%) are aware that obesity is a risk factor for sleep apnea, referring t student’s practice of physical activity, study clarified that only 69.9%of students were practicing physical activity. Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a weakness in the perception and knowledge of students on BMI, study recommended for more concentration in academic activities to change this perception. The study concluded that the knowledge of students on major risk factors of obesity, relations of obesity with diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, sleep apnea, physical activity and weight control where acceptable. According to the study there were a problem in monitoring blood glucose and hypertension among overweight and obese students, which may be reflected in other health problems in the future. Recommendations: The study recommends for the introduction of extra educational and non-curricula programs on lifestyle, nutrition and obesity for public health student's, establishment of regular physical activities programs and strengthening of health education programs on overweight, obesity and other associated health problems inside and outside university campus. The study recommends for more researches to evaluate knowledge, perception, practice among public health and other students towards obesity.

ObjectivesThe objective was to determine the predictive potential of anthropometric indices to screen prevalent diabetes mellitus type 2 in a Norwegian population.DesignThis is a cross-sectional design to determine the potential association of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) with prevalent diabetes mellitus type 2 through logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine the predictive potential of the anthropometric indices. Youden’s index was applied to determine the optimal cut-off points for each anthropometric index.SettingThis study used cross-sectional data from the populations-based Health Study in Nord-Trøndelag which invited all citizens in the county above 20 years of age.ParticipantsThis study included all those who were non-pregnant and had complete data (N=50 042), 98.5% of the participants. The sample is to be considered representative for the population of Norway.Primary and secondary outcome measuresOR and ROC of the potential association between diabetes mellitus type 2 and anthropometric indices were the main planned and performed outcome measures.ResultsThe results suggest that the anthropometric indices performed differently within the Norwegian population with WHR and WHtR being the stronger predictor with (ROC) of 0.746 (0.735 to 0.757) and 0.741 (0.730 to 0.752). The predictive potential for the investigated anthropometric indices was generally stronger for women than men.ConclusionAnthropometric indices of size BMI and the highly correlated WC are less associated with prevalent diabetes mellitus type 2 than WHR (WC adjusted for hip circumference) or WHtR (WC adjusted for height) in a Norwegian population.

This research type is  cross sectional with a purposive sampling technique. A total of 85 patients diabetes mellitus type 2 outpatient at RSUD Sukoharjo with inclusion criteria received OAD therapy (Oral Antidiabetic Drugs) or a combination of OAD with insulin for at least 1 month, recruited in this study. The data was collected from medical records and questionnaires. Adherence was measured by using the MARS 5 questionnaire (Medication Adherence Report Scale 5). Factors contributing to medication adherence was analyzed by using chi-square test. The results showed that 37 respondents (43.5%) were obedient. The significant factors of medication adherence are monthly income (p-value = 0.018 and OR = 2.887), Medication (p - value = 0.007 and OR = 3,551), the frequency of treatment (p-value = 0.006 and OR = 3,529) and blood glucose level (p-value = 0.006 and OR = 3,529).
