International Journal of Scientific Research. 2024 Dec; 13(12): 72-732277-8179https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/246894This study investigates the relationship between anthropometric measurements—specifically hip circumference (HC), waist circumference (WC), and the waist-hip ratio (WHR)—and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a North Indian population. A total of 100 participants were recruited, comprising both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Measurements of HC, WC, and WHR were taken, and participants underwent HbA1C. The results revealed significant differences in these measurements between diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Our findings suggest that WHR, in particular, is a robust marker for predicting T2DM risk in this demographic, underscoring the importance of anthropometric screening in diabetes prevention strategies.Journal ArticleIndiaM.B.B.S, M.D., M.R.C.P.[UK] Consultant Physician [Department of Medicine ] Ujala Cygnus Hospital Uttarakhand India
