Correlation Between Fat Distribution And Cardiovascular Risk Factors In Some Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus In Xinjiang Region

Objective:To investigate the relation between the characteristics of body fat distribution and the cardiovascular risks in some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in xinjiang region.Methods:The Percentage of body fat (PBF) and visceral fat area(VA) were determined in 155 case of T2DM by using the Inbody720 body composition analyzer. At the triglycerides(TG), total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein(HDL-c), low density lipoprotein(LDL-c),blood pressure(BP), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1C), body weight(W), body height(H), waist circumference(WC), and hip circumference(HC) were also determined. The body mass index (BMI) and the waist to hip ratio (WHR) were calculated.Results:In both men and women, BMI in the subjects with visceral fat obesity(VFO) was higher than that with subcutaneous fat obesity(SFO). In males, TG in VFO was significantly higher than in SFO. PBF, TC and LDL-c in female T2DM patients were significantly higher than those in the male T2DM patients. VA and PBF in the Minority male patients were significantly higher than those in the Han nationality male patients (P<0.05). After adjusting the age, duration of disease and BMI, WHR in the female patients was positively correlated with DBP and PBF was positively correlated with LDL-c. in the male patients, there were correlations between BMI and SBP, between VA and DP, and between VA and PBF and HDL-c. In the females patients, there were correlations between BMI with SBP and between WHR and DBP.Conclusion:The body fat distribution in the patients with T2DM in Xinjiang region is dominated by VFO. the cardiovascular risk factors are not only associated with the increase of body fat content, but more closely associated with VFO, moreover the difference in gender and nationalities exist.
