| Abstract | ||
| This case-control study includes 356 diabetics and 384 apparently healthy age and sexmatched controls who attended Al-Zahrawi Private Hospital Outpatient Department in Mosulduring the period from January to December 2004.The aim of the study was to assess the changesin serum lipid profile among type 2 diabetics in relation to body mass index (BMI) and to determinethe magnitude and pattern of dyslipidaemia in obese diabetics. Fasting plasma glucose and serumlipid profile were compared in type 2 diabetics and control subjects according to BMI. Thecollected data were analyzed by chi-square, Z, ANOVA and Duncan tests. Fasting plasma glucoselevels were highest in obese diabetics and the frequency of poorly controlled diabetics wasincreased with increasing BMI. There was a significant and positive association between the BMIand serum triglyceride (TG) (p 0.01), total cholesterol (TC) (p 0.001), LDL-C (P<0.001) andVLDL-C (P<0.01). Serum HDL-C levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01) by increasingBMI. The prevalence of dyslipidaemia was increased with increasing BMI levels in both genders.In conclusion several lipid abnormalities in type 2 diabetics have pointed to the significance ofdiabetic control, regular lipid profile and control of obesity. | ||
