Abstract

Background: Abdominal obesity in comparison to overall obesity is more important in prediction of type II DM. All such individuals who are more susceptible to such diseases either due to genetic background as their life style, are needed to detect at early point in their life so that necessary measures can be taken for their prevention. Methods: A community based study has been done in middle aged men to collect data for risk assessment of type II DM. For identification of high risk categories various analysis like, calculation of position and negative predictive values, and corresponding 95% cl for eleven different cut off points, with interval of 1cm (92-102cm) has been done for evaluation of waist circumference. Result: In study group of middle age men, those having waist – circumference > 94cm, are more prone to type II DM. Conclusion: Waist circumference is an important parameter for assessment of type II DM. It should be used as a reliable method amongst middle aged men to identify those having high risk of type II DM So that all important prevention should be taken and necessary intervention should be done at earliest.
