Abstract:

Context and objectives: To establish correlations between obesity, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, serum glucose and systolic Blood Pressure (BP) correlated to the risk of developing diabetes. Materials and Methods: We made a study on a group of 108 subjects, women and men. The answers we got were included in a database statistically processed in Medcalc and Excel softwares. Results: The high values of glucose are recorded in people with BMI between 35-39.99 and are represented by women with ages raging between 60-69 years old. Total cholesterol serum and glucose values are more suggestive in the case of people aged between 60-69. The high creatinine values (>1.2 mg/dl) are represented by women aged between 60-69 years. High levels of systolic blood pressure can be seen in women aged 60-69 years old. Conclusions: Obesity associated with high glucose values is a major risk factor for developing diabetes and its complications especially in people aged 50 and over
