Prevalence and predictors of metabolic syndrome in non-obese Asian Indians with newly detected type 2 diabetes mellitus.
We measured the prevalence and have evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of different predictors according to different standard criteria for metabolic syndrome in non-obese newly detected type 2 diabetes. Two hundred and fifteen patients of BMI <25 kg/m2 were studied. Metabolic syndrome prevalence was high in non-obese newly detected type 2 diabetes mellitus individuals. Greater prevalence of metabolic syndrome was observed in modified WHO (50.23%) and lesser in IDF (30.69%) classification. Non-obese metabolic syndrome individuals display significantly higher BMI, per cent body fat, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist hip ratio, blood pressure, triglyceride and a lower high density lipopratein than non-obese individuals without metabolic syndrome. The cut-off point for waist circumference in men was 86 cm and 79.7 cm for women (modified ATP III). Elevated serum triglyceride for men and low serum high density lipoprotein in women were the strongest predictors that effectively indicated the presence of metabolic syndrome in non-obese individuals.
