“…[25][26][27] Hypertension and dyslipidemia was found to be predominant in males in our study consistent with other studies. 17,18,27,28 While diabetic prevalence has been reported to vary with gender based on various studies involving different racial and ethnic subgroups across the globe, 25,29,30 no such association was found in our study. Hypertension and diabetes was found to increase with increasing BMI with 68% hypertensive's being overweight to obese and 64% diabetics being overweight to obese in the present study.…”

“…In our study, we found that 35.7% of the sample has obesity as a risk factor; a similar study reported 28.7% of the Saudi population are obese. 16 The difference may be explained that the previous study sample included participants 15 years and older, whereas our study included 18 years and older. Our study showed that obesity is increasing with age, a fact that may reflect the lifestyle in our community, which is distinguished by decreased physical activity and high-caloric intake.…”

Introduction Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the leading chronic diseases in Saudi Arabia; 23.1% of the Saudi population are diabetic and 25.5% are hypertensive. This cross-sectional study was made on dental setting to determine the effectiveness of screening of diabetes and hypertension in dental clinics. Materials and methods This study was carried out in the primary care dental clinics at the Dental College in King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Before starting any treatment, a face-to-face interview was administered to collect a brief medical history and personal data followed by measurement of body mass index (BMI). After that, blood pressure level reading was obtained using electrical sphygmomanometer. Finally, a glucose level reading was obtained from capillary blood from the patient's third fingertip using glucose reader. Results Our study included 283 participants, 118 of whom were females (41.7%). Our study showed that a significant amount of the participants are at risk of having hypertension (44.8%). In addition, a significant number (10.2%) of the participants are at risk of having diabetes. Furthermore, 35.7% of the sample had obesity as a risk factor for diabetes and hypertension. Conclusion The dental team can play an important role in screening of diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases. In Saudi Arabia, public awareness of the chronic diseases is still critically insufficient. Clinical significance Our study showed the importance of the screening even for patients with negative history of diabetes or hypertension.

“…Age has been shown to be a risk factor in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated cardiovascular risk with increased prevalence as people age [23]. This might be due to increased insulin resistance and increased fat metabolism with advanced age [24] . A study by Ekpenyong et al [25] reported an increased prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in older patient and is in support of the current study.…”

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to relative insulin secretion deficiency and insulin resistance. It is a global public health concern with increasing prevalence each year. Social demographic, lifestyle and metabolic characteristic, play a crucial role in development and progression of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Poor glycemic control worsens the condition, leading to complications that are very costly to treat. This calls for a need to explore the relationship between patient characteristics and glycemic control (HbA1c). One hundred and fifty three (153) participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 20-79 years and attending the Thika Level Five Hospital were enrolled in the study. Sociodemographic, clinical and lifestyle data were obtained using questionnaires. The nutrition status was determined by anthropometry. Lipid profile that included total cholesterol, (TC); high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, (HDL-c); low density lipoprotein cholesterol, (LDL-c) and triglyceride, (TG,) were determined by enzymatic method while glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and glucose oxidase methods, respectively. Blood pressure of the patients was also determined. Overall sample size was 153 (40.5% men and 59.5% women). The overall mean age of patients was 56.07 years, and the mean age of patients with poor glycemic control (HbA1c>7%) was 56.79 years. The prevalence of the poor glycemic control (HbA1c>7%) was 77.8%. Participants with HbA1c > 7% showed statistically significant higher means for FBG, TC, and LDL-c than their counterparts with good glycemic control [11.71±3.11mmol/l vs. 8.54±3.19; 5.11±1.21mmol/l vs. 4.48±1.16 and 2.66±1.07 mmol/l vs. 2.22±1.04, respectively, (P<0.005; 0.000, 0.008 and 0.034, respectively]. The study showed a significant strong positive correlation between HbA1c and FBG (r=0.679, p<0.01); family history of diabetes, (FHD) (r=0.165, p<0.05); systolic blood pressure, (SBP) moderated with FHD (r=0.168, p<0.05); and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) moderated with FHD(r=0.181, p<0.05). In conclusion, poor glycemic control is associated with high/ blood pressure, high blood glucose and dyslipidemia, which are risk factors for macrovascular, microvascular and cardiovascular complications.
