Abstract

The objective of this research was to relate visceral adiposity to glycosylated hemoglobin in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus, to determine whether high levels of glycosylated hemoglobin are related to high levels of visceral adiposity. The methodology used in the study was a non-experimental transversal type, with 185 patients, which 145 women and 40 men aged between 18 and 64 years were analyzed. It was assessed anthropometrically using a plyometer (Sequoia TrimCal 4000), anthropometric tape (MyoTape) and a bioimpedance scale (Omron hbf 514c) to determine the diagnosis of visceral fat; Blood chemistry data was taken with a period of time no longer than three months from patients' medical records and the same cut-off points used in the health centers which belonged to the group being studied. It was found that apparently in this study there is a relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin and visceral fat level, showing that 101 patients have a diagnosis of high visceral fat, which have high levels of glycosylated hemoglobin at an average of 8.26mg / dl, these differences showed a value of P <0.05. Finally, it is therefore concluded that there seems to be a relationship between visceral fat and glucose levels both basal and glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic patients, however, more studies are recommended in which it is considered important to evaluate diet, meal times, type and treatment duration of the diabetic patients in order to obtain more precise conclusions.
