OBJECTIVE: To describe the type of association between lipid profile ans central obesity in diabetic and non diabetic adults. METHOD: In a cross‐sectional, descriptive study, 189 diabetic (D) and 53 normoglycemic (ND) adults were included. After obtaining their informed consent, Waist‐Hip‐Ratio (WHR), fasting glucose, lipid profile: triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol (TC), were obtained. Data are described by frequencies, means, standard deviations and percentiles. Differences were analyzed by X 2 . RESULTS: The sample consisted of 157 female and 85 male subjects. We found hypertriglyceridemia in 44.2% and hypercholesterolemia in 37.2% of the sample. The combination of TC‐TG was found in 46 subjects, while TC‐LDL was found in 18. Combined alterations of three or more of lipid profile indicators were found only in 10 subjects. Abdominal fat distribution (AFD) was present in 57% of ND and 19% of D women. Diabetic men showed 45% of AFD while ND only had 19%. Total Cholesterol risk levels were found in 34% ND and 47% D. Hypertriglyceridemia was present in 38.6% ND and in 64.1% D; high LDL was present in 18.5% ND and in 28.3% D. Higher values of WHR, TC and TG were significantly associated with Diabetes. (X 2 =4.3, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: There is significant association between WHI, TC, TGC and D. SOURCE OF RESEARCH SUPPORT: UAEM‐CONACyT – TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
