Diabetes and hypertension are among the most common non-communicable diseases affecting our population. They are the important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objective: The study was performed to estimate the association of hypertension and dyslipidaemia with increasing body weight and obesity in Type II diabetics. Methods: This one year cross sectional study was conducted by enrolling 677 diabetics subjects from rural health training centre of integral institute of medical sciences, Lucknow, India. MS excel was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used for number and percentages and associations were estimated using chi-square test. Results: Most of the subjects belonged to overweight category (36.91%) followed by obese (32.3%). Majority of subjects (38.4%), were within 40 – 50 years of age in which most of them belonged to overweight category (39.2%) followed by obese (31.5%). Out of total study subjects, 62% were males and 38% were females. Means of HbA1C, lipid parameters, blood pressure were found significantly associated with dyslipidemia and hypertension Conclusion: Association of hypertension and dyslipidemia in obese diabetics signifies that these patients may be at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and a precise action or self-care management is required.
