Relationship between Serum Uric acid and BMI in Pre Diabetics and Type II Diabetics in Rural Population – A Pilot Study
Keywords:
Atherosclerosis, Body Mass Index, Diabetes, Hyperuricemia, Insulin Resistance, PrediabetesAbstract
Background & Objectives: People with pre-diabetes may have impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Some people may have both IFG and IGT. Uric acid can act as a prooxidant and may be a marker of oxidative stress, but it may also have a therapeutic role as an antioxidant. Hyperuricemia has been found to be associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Materials & Methods: The study was conducted in 100 male subjects in the age range 30-50 years. The questionnaire with questions on demographic data, seafood consumption, drinking and smoking information, personal and family history of diabetes and gout, previous history of hypertension, cardiovascular disease was taken. Height & Weight of the subjects was measured. BMI was then calculated. BP was recorded. Serum Uric acid was measured using Uricase-Trinder –Endpoint ; Erba Diagnostics ). For the diagnosis of pre diabetes the WHO (1999) criteria was used. In this study the enzymatic glucose oxidase - peroxidase (GOD – POD ; Erba Diagnostics) was used for estimation of blood glucose level. Results: From the present hospital based cross sectional study, we observed a significant increase in the serum uric acid levels in prediabetics when compared with the control & non diabetic subjects. Conclusion: Uric acid may perform the role of marker for deterioration of glucose metabolism. Pre-diabetics were at higher risk of developing uric acid related complications.
