概要 Background: The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and other factors with type 2 diabetic complications and comorbidities have not been fully characterized in vegetarian populations.
Purpose of... the study: This study aimed to determine whether BMI and sociodemographic factors are associated with the presence of type 2 diabetic complications and comorbidities in vegetarian outpatients attending a diabetes clinic in the city of Jaipur, India.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 184 type 2 diabetic outpatients using a questionanire. The questionnaire included questions regarding the participants’ diet type, medical history, current health conditions, and sociodemographic profile. The participants’ height and weight were also measured.
Results: One hundred and thirty patients (71%) reported themselves to be vegan, lacto-vegetarian, or lacto-ovo-vegetarian. Of these, 63 vegetarian paraticipants (49%) had at least one chronic complication or comorbidity. Vegetarian participants with a BMI≥30 kg/m2 were significantly more likely to have complications or comorbidities than those with a BMI<23, <24, or <25 kg/m2. In addition, vegetarian participants who had been living with type 2 diabetes for more than 10 years were significantly more likely than those with a duration of less than 4 years to have complications or comorbidities. Finally, those with a higher level of education were significantly less likely to have complications or comorbidities than those with a lower level of education.
Conclusion: Vegetarian outpatients with a BMI≥30 kg/m2, those who had been living with type 2 diabetes for more than 10 years, and those with no primary school education need to be targeted to prevent complications or comorbidities.
