Background: The association between type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity is very close. Obesity is common in women aged between 45-49 yrs. Prevalence of Impaired Fasting Glucose also seems to be higher in women than men in the Indian population. The study was undertaken to find the correlation of Fasting Plasma Glucose (FBG) level with Waist Circumference (WC) & Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR)

Objectives: To study fasting Plasma glucose levels in relation with Waist Circumference (WC ) and Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) to find which type of obesity Central , General or both are important for development of type 2 D.M.

Material and Method: Fasting Plasma glucose levels were estimated in 100 asymptomatic middle aged women with no family history of type 2 D.M. Waist circumference & hip circumference were estimated in the same subjects. Correlation of FBG levels with WC & WHR was found by using correlation coefficient.

Result: In the entire subject population (n=100), a statistically significant correlation between FBG levels with WC was noted. However, no statistically significant correlation of FBG with WHR was noted

Conclusion: In a nutshell WC may be good risk predictor for type 2 D.M. than WHR, specially in the women aged between 45-49 yrs.

Prevalence of Impaired Fasting Glucose also seems to be higher in women than men in the Indian population. The study was undertaken to find the correlation of Fasting Plasma Glucose (FBG) level with Waist Circumference (WC) & Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR)

Objectives: To study fasting Plasma glucose levels in relation with Waist Circumference (WC ) and Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) to find which type of obesity Central , General or both are important for development of type 2 D.M.

Material and Method: Fasting Plasma glucose levels were estimated in 100 asymptomatic middle aged women with no family history of type 2 D.M. Waist circumference & hip circumference were estimated in the same subjects. Correlation of FBG levels with WC & WHR was found by using correlation coefficient.

Result: In the entire subject population (n=100), a statistically significant correlation between FBG levels with WC was noted. However, no statistically significant correlation of FBG with WHR was noted

Conclusion: In a nutshell WC may be good risk predictor for type 2 D.M. than WHR, specially in the women aged between 45-49 yrs.
