Abstract
Obesity is a major factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The measurement of waist circumference is one method to diagnose obesity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between waist circumference on obesity and prevalence of type 2 DM in male patients in the Regional Public Hospital of Tabanan Regency. The design of this study was cross-sectional study. The subjects of this study were all adult male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus or obesity in Internal Medicine Clinic in the Regional Public Hospital of Tabanan Regency, who were selected using consecutive sampling (September – December 2017). Waist circumference was measured by cloth measuring tape. Random blood glucose level was measured using finger prick blood glucose tests (Easy Touch GCU). Data were analyzed by SPSS application using Chi-square test (p value < 0.05). Based on the results of this study shown that there was significant relationship between obesity and type 2 DM (p < 0.05; r = 0.396). Waist circumference appeared more evidently related with type 2 DM. Our findings provide useful information for the projection of increasing prevalence of type 2 DM in male patients.
