Abstract
Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a global pandemic with immense social, health and financial consequences. The pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes is significantly influenced by overweight and obesity. Type-2 diabetes often goes hand-in-hand with high blood pressure. One way to check type-2 diabetes is by measuring fasting blood glucose. This cross-sectional analytical study looked at how blood pressure, body mass index (BMI) and fasting serum glucose relate to each other in women with type-2 diabetes in the Mymensingh locality. The research took place at the Physiology Department of Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from Octy 2023 to June 2024. We included 200 participants: 100 apparently healthy women of 30-65 years without diabetes as the control group and 100 women with diabetes of same age group as the study group. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. Weight and height were measured anthropometrically in kilograms and meters, respectively. Blood pressure was checked with an aneroid sphygmomanometer for both systolic and diastolic values. To see if there were significant differences between groups, we used the unpaired Students 't' test and shared results as mean±SD. For relationships among fasting serum glucose, blood pressure and BMI, we used Pearson's correlation coefficient test. The average BMI for those in the control group was 24.19±1.22 kg/m². In contrast, the study group's average BMI was higher at 28.04±1.66 kg/m². The study group also had a greater average systolic blood pressure of 130.65±6.06 mm Hg compared to 115.30±5.07 mm Hg for controls. For diastolic blood pressure, values were also higher in the study group: 85.65±5.71 mm Hg compared to the control's 75.65±5.25 mm Hg. Fasting serum glucose levels showed a positive correlation with both BMI and blood pressure. We recommended from this study that routine evaluation of these parameters is important for preventing complications associated with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
