Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the anthropometric profile and glycemic status of a population living with diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 91 participants with diabetes. Anthropometric measurements, including body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio, were assessed. Fasting blood glucose levels were evaluated to determine glycemic control. Results: The study population exhibited a high prevalence of overweight (62.6%) and obesity (76.9% had an elevated waist-to-hip ratio). A substantial proportion (42.9%) of participants had fasting blood glucose levels above the recommended target range. Conclusions: The findings of this study underscore the urgent need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches to diabetes care that prioritize the management of modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors, such as overweight/obesity, central adiposity, and hyperglycemia. Integrating anthropometric and metabolic assessments can guide the development of personalized strategies to improve the overall health and well-being of this population living with diabetes.
