Sociodemographic and anthropometric risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Nador population
Populations with Type 2 diabetes are exposed to many complications that are due to complex mechanisms combining hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, low-intensity inflammation and accelerated atherogenesis. Cardio-cerebrovascular complications affect the prognosis of diabetes. This study aims to ident...

| Sumario: | Populations with Type 2 diabetes are exposed to many complications that are due to complex mechanisms combining hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, low-intensity inflammation and accelerated atherogenesis. Cardio-cerebrovascular complications affect the prognosis of diabetes. This study aims to identify sociodemographic and anthropometric risk factors for type 2 diabetes in the population of Nador located in the north of Morocco. This epidemiological study took place in a private medical analysis laboratory in the city of NADOR for a period of one year extending from 01/10/2018 to 01/10/2019. It focused on 830 male and female subjects over the age of 18, all residing in the city of NADOR. The subjects’ blood sugar levels were above 1.26 g / L, with the help of the laboratory reception and collection team of three secretaries and two nurses; we explained the purpose of the study to the population studied. Volunteers signed the consent form and then were interviewed using questionnaires; anthropometric measurements were taken in the sample collection room. Their confidentiality and privacy were respected. This study allowed us to shed light on certain socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics as well as the problems from which the diabetic population suffers. The study found that female sex and old age are socio-demographic risk factors; it also found that waist circumference and BMI (body mass index) are anthropometric risk factors for T2D. |
