- W3007065642 abstract "Abstract Background The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases especially obesity and type 2 diabetes among African populace is becoming a public health epidemic with socio-cultural and economic implications. We assayed for the prevalence and correlates of central obesity among an African type 2 diabetic population. Method A multi-centered, cross-sectional and descriptive study among 399 type 2 diabetic participants aged 18–70 years from three study sites (urban, semi-urban and rural) was conducted. Prevalence was compared among age-groups, sex, location, BMI category, blood pressure category, glycemic control status and dyslipidemic status. Results An overall prevalence of 55.4% was obtained while age-based prevalence rose with age before declining among the 61–70 years group of persons. The females had the higher sex-based prevalence of 70.7%–23.3% for males and semi-urban participants gave the highest location-based prevalence of 67.7% in contrast to 55.8% and 40.9% for urban and rural residents respectively. General obesity, hypertension, good glycemic control, and non-dyslipidemia gave the highest prevalence in their various categories. After adjusting for co-founders, age 51–60, age 61–70, female sex, semi-rural residence, rural residence, been over-weight, general obesity, and hypertension were independently associated with CO. Conclusion Findings from our study revealed that CO is highly prevalent among Africans with type 2 diabetes. Elderly persons, female sex, BMI above 25 kg/m2, hypertension and residence in semi-urban and rural settings were highlighted as independent predisposing factors. Regular exercise and consumption of low-calorie diets (weight loss strategies) are recommended for type 2 diabetics within the middle age class and those in the elderly category in addition to their glycemic and lipidemic control goals. Government at all levels should ensure the provision of basic social amenities to meet the needs of rural and semi-urban areas experiencing rapid urbanization." @default.
