Composición corporal y metabolismo lípido en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 en tratamiento oral vs. insulino terapia. Hospital Gustavo Domínguez Z. Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas 2014.

Abstract

The present research was cross sectional analytical, applied to the “Body Composition and Lipid Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic patients on Oral therapy vs. Insulin, treatment. Gustavo Dominguez Hospital at the Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas in 2014”. 80 diabetic patients participated in this research. A survey was applied to obtain general characteristics, nutritional status, body composition and lipid profile, and the data were tabulated using the JMP 5.0program. The data obtained from the general characteristics: aged between 40 to 80 years: 72. 5% female and 27.5% male, family medical history: diabetes 96.2%, hypertension 3.7%. Blood glucose levels with a minimum value of 44 mg/dl and up to 378 mg/dl. In relation to nutritional status 45% overweight, 27.4% obese and 3% underweight was found. Metabolic risk increased 61% and 8.7% greatly increased; musculoskeletal 19.4 % minimum and 42.5% maximum; visceral fat 2% minimum and 32% maximum, minimum body fat 38.3% and 53.3% maximum. Lipid profile total cholesterol 134 mg/dl minimum and 283 mg/dl maximum, triglycerides 52 mg/dl minimum and 197 mg/dl maximum, HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) 19 mg/dl minimum and 104 mg/dl maximum, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) 50 mg/dl minimum and 197 mg/dl maximum, glycosylated hemoglobin 4.7 mg/dl minimum and 11.5 maximum. Conclusion: Patients have elevated lipid profile and body fat because most patients were overweight. It is recommended to continue checking these patients to monitor their nutritional status by improving their eating habits and improve their lipid profile.
