Abstract

Obesity is defined by an increase in fat mass. Its prevalence in the diabetic population is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of obesity in the diabetic population. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of adult diabetic patients followed in endocrinology consultation of University Teaching Hospital of Pointe -à- Pitre, Guadeloupe- France during the period from October 2014 to November 2016. The present study comprised of a total of 385 type 2 diabetic subjects whose BMI was measured during the visit to the diabetic consultation. Respondents' height, weight, age and sex of diabetes were taken as the study variable. The prevalence of obesity was 43,40%. The mean age of the patients was 60±10,9 years. The peak; frequency of obesity was between 46 and 55 years. Obesity was significantly common in women (60,5%) than men 39,5%) with a p<0,05. The proportion of obesity in female type 2 diabetes proportion (60,5%) was comparatively higher than male (39,5%). Occupation categories affected were represented by pensioners 18 (10,6%), engineers 19 (10,8%), 25 retired civil servants (14,3%) and 50 housewives (28,6%). Obesity is frequent in the diabetic population in Guadeloupe. It is therefore urgent to implement interventions more at risk to prevent, early detection of weight gain in diabetes.
