ABSTRACT
Obesity is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for prevention type 2 diabetes. The aim this study was to examine prevalence diabetes with increasing severity obesity and distribution HbA1c levels in diabetics participating latest National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Data from a representative sample adults NHANES between 1999 2006 were reviewed. fasting glucose, insulin, c-peptide, examined across different weight classes normal weight, overweight, 1, 2, 3 defined as body mass index (BMI) <25.0, 25.0-29.9, 30.0-34.9, 35.0-39.9, equal 40.0, respectively. among also examined.There 2,894 (13.6%) 21,205 surveyed participants. Among diabetes, mean age 59 years, glucose 155 ± mg/dl, 7.2%; 80.3% considered overweight (BMI ≥ 25) 49.1% obese 30). increased classes, 8% individuals 43% class 3; good (<7.0%) 60%, fair (7.0-8.0%) 17%, poor (>8.0%) 23%. highest BMI suggesting state higher disease. Mean insulin c-peptide = 35.0, resistance.In nationally US adults, increases classes. Nearly fourth have glycemic control nearly half adult are that loss an intervention effort reduce impact on health care system.
