An increase in body fat is generally associated with an increase in risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus; hypertension and dyslipidaemia.Body mass index (BMI) criteria are the primary focus as it is related to presence or absence of obesity-related comorbid disease. Although several studies have shown a strong correlation between body mass index (BMI) and development of critical illness. The goal of our study is to examine this relationship prospectively with fasting blood sugar in particular attention to the influence of concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM).
