Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease where occurs a reduction in mass of ß cell in response of a state of insulin resistance. The principal anthropometric marker of insulin resistance is waist circumference. We analyzed biochemistry data of a population of 69 patients with type 2 diabetes referred to Diabetes Service of Goiania General Hospital. The sample was formed of 51 women and 18 men, aged 38 to 79 years (54,06 ± 9,24). The biochemistry analyzed were serum glucose, HbA1c, HDL-Cholesterol and Uric Acid. Linear Regression to association analyzes between anthropometric values and biochemistry data showed direct association between abdominal circumference and serum uric acid; r = 0,366 and r² = 0,134, p = 0,001. We conclude that levels of serum uric acid correlate directly with waist circumference.
