This study aimed to investigate the association between general and abdominal obesity and inflammation in patients with type-2 diabetes with or without glycemic control.Methods: A total of 198 men (n=73) and women (n=125) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes participated in this study. General obesity markers, body mass index (BMI), and abdominal fat were assessed. Circulating concentrations of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined. Poor glycemic control and good glycemic control were defined as having fasting HbA1C concentrations ≥7% and <7%, respectively. Multivariate adjusted analysis of covariance was used to determine the relation between BMI and abdominal fat and markers of inflammation in patients with good and poor glycemic control.Results: Patients in <7% HbA1C category, those with high abdominal fat had ≈262% higher CRP and ≈30.6% higher IL-6 compared to those with low abdominal fat (p˂0.05). Patients in ≥7% HbA1C category, those with high abdominal fat had ≈41.4% higher CRP and ≈33.9% higher IL-6 compared to those with low abdominal fat (p˂0.05). Abdominal fat was directly related to CRP (p˂0.023) and IL-6 (p˂0.002) concentrations in both groups of type-2 diabetic patients with <7% and ≥7% HbA1C. In patients with ≥7% HbA1C, BMI was directly related to CRP (p˂0.02) and IL-6 (p˂0.047). Whereas in patients with <7% HbA1C, BMI was not associated with CRP or IL-6 concentrations.Conclusion: High level of abdominal fat is associated with systemic inflammation in type-2 diabetes regardless of glycemic control. Abdominal fat is a better predictor (determinant) of inflammation than BMI in patients with type-2 diabetes with or without glycemic control.Keywords: BMI, C-reactive protein, diabetes, IL-6, inflammation, obesityBawadi HKatkhouda RTayyem RKerkadi ABou Raad SSubih HDove Medical Pressarticlebmic-reactive proteindiabetesil-6inflammationobesitySpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 2411-2417 (2019)
