Abstract
Few epidemiological studies have investigated the relative importance of diabetic mellitus (NIDDM) in two sexes within the same study population. In particular it is not clear whether hypertension (HT), body mass index (BMI), hyperlipidemia and smoking carrier a similar risk of (NIDDM) in men and women. Abstract: The association between hypertension, serum lipids, smoking, obesity and fasting blood glucose (FBG). Were examined in population- based prospective study of (200) men and women aged (20-79) years old. The prevalence of diabetes (NIDDM) among men was (66.4%) and that of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was (26.56%); the corresponding values for women were (58.3%) and (20.83%) respectively. The age and sex–adjusted incidence of hyperlipidemia (P<0.01), hypertension (P<0.01) was significantly higher in subjects with (NIDDM) than in those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). This study also show that the frequency of (NIDDM) and smokers was more than (IGT) and smokers or (NGT) (P<0.01) and also it was higher in the men diabetic comparing to women diabetic. Men with (IGT) or (NIDDM) more often had obese (P<0.05) than men with (NGT), and also was higher in men campaigning to women. Conclusion: -We found in this study that sex, hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia play an important role in the incidence of (NIDDM) and (IGT).
