Anthropomorphic and Body Composition Differences in Prediabetes and Normal Subjects

Purpose: Prediabetes refers to a condition where the level of fasting blood sugar reaches ۱۰۰- ۱۲۵ mg/dl. The prediabetes pervasiveness is growing throughout the world. The main objective of the present research is the exploration of the body composition and anthropomorphic differences among prediabetes and normal people for finding the plans for scanning prediabetes and the impact of exercise on it. Method: The present descriptive cross-sectional research conducted on ۲۵۱ people. The signed informed consents and information of the education, age, exercise etc. gathered. Then, blood glucose tested, and ۱۳۳ and ۱۱۸ participants respectively had been chosen for the prediabetes and normal groups. Digital scales, wall stadiometer, tape measure and body composition monitor had been employed to measure anthropomorphic and body composition indices. Results: Total pervasiveness of prediabetes was ۵۲.۹۸% that accounted for ۴۱.۰۳% of the male and ۱۱.۹۵% of the female. Any significant differences didn’t found in the education level, exercise and physical activity between two groups (p>۰.۰۵). However, there was a significant difference in the age just in the male group (p=۰.۰۴۳). It found that the prediabetic participants experience visceral fat, BMI, WC, and WHR higher than the normal participants (p=۰.۰۳۷, p=۰.۰۱۰, p=۰.۰۰۰, and p=۰.۰۰۲, respectively) just in the female group. Conclusions: It has been concluded that anthropomorphic and body composition have differences between normal and prediabetes participants; therefore, they may be used as the screening programs. Moreover, it has been suggested that prediabetes can be prevented by controlling anthropometric and body composition indices by exercise.
