Background & Objectives: People with obesity and overweight are increasing in India. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of generalized and abdominal obesity in diabetics and comparison between genders. Methods: An observational study held at Diabetes centre, betwee n 2013-2014. Classification of obesity was done usi ng WHO and IDF criteria for BMI in Asians, while Waist Circumferen ce and WHR per IDF criteria. WHO Asia Pacific guide lin s were used to define overweight [body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m but <25 kg/m, generalized obesity, BMI ≥25kg/m), abdominal obesity, waist circumference ≥90 cm in men, ≥80cm for women). 4504 subjects (men 2741, women 176 3) with diabetes aged ≥ of 25 were recruited. Results: The prevalence rates were 2, 13, 31 & 54% women an d 3, 23, 48, & 26% men were lean, normal, overweight and obese res pectively. Comparing the waist circumference betwee n m n and women with IDF criteria 65% men (n=9235) and 89% (n =8175) have a WC above the normal. Waist hip ratio, identified higher prevalence rate in men (89%) compared to wom en (76%) and WHR was a sensitive index compared to WC. Interpretation & Conclusions: Higher prevalence of abdominal obesity compared to general obesity in diabetic population affected both genders similarly. Both ge neral and abdominal obesity prevalence are higher i n women than men. Our study found that AO had a higher prevalenc e i men contrary to the belief that women have hig her AO. Abdominal obesity is directly linked to increased m orbidity.
