O:To evaluate the effect of Diabetes Education program on apolipoproteins and body compositions in Hispanics. M:34 Hispanic diabetic subjects participated in a 3‐months trial study. Fan beam DXA Hologic 4500 software was used to measure body composition. Paired t‐test was used to evaluate difference between baseline and 3‐months. Pearson correlation was used to assess the relations between apolipoproteins and body compositions. R: Weight (81.16 ± 17.74 vs. 79.95 ± 17.78 kg, p=0.002), total body fat (30.41 ± 10.68 vs. 29.50 ± 10.52 kg, p=0.001), %fat (39.98 ± 7.49 vs. 38.19 ±7.7, p=0.0005), fat mass (33.20 ± 11.61 vs. 31.33 ± 11.56 kg, p=0.0005) significantly decreased for all study subjects. A significant decreased in mean HDL (44.64 ± 8.87 vs. 3.88 ± 1.00 mg, p=0.002) and Cholesterol/HDL ratio (44.65 ± 8.87 vs. 48.85 ± 11.43 p=0.001).A significant change in mean for plasma apolipoproteins, total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides was not observed. A significant correlation was observed between apolipoprotein E (mg/dl) and weight at baseline(r = 0.395, p=0.021), apolipoprotein E at baseline and weight at 3 months (r = 0.43, p=0.011), apolipoprotein E and Body mass index at baseline (r = 0.43, p=0.011), apolipoprotein E and Body mass index at 3 months (r = 0.48, p=.004) and apolipoprotein E and fat mass at baseline (r=0.36, p=0.39) respectively. C: In conclusion, body composition and total cholesterol/HDL ratio and HDL improved in all subjects. Apolipoprotein E was significantly correlated with Body mass index at baseline and 3 months.
