 Type 2 diabetic patients are at increased risk for CVD.
OBJECTIVE:To determine the prevalence of patients with past hystory of a myocardium infarction or cerebral strok in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in Georgia.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.
PATIENTS: Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients (n=648, age (M+SD) 53.9±10.11; female 58 %).
MEASUREMENTS: Blood pressure, body mass index, past history of CVD.
RESULTS - There was an linear relationship between BMI and age at diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (p <0.01). Adults with type 2 diabetes were more obese (BMI 30.0±ÿ5.34 kg/m2) versus control subjects (BMI 27.6±4.51 kg/m2; p <0.001).
Patients, with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes without an arterial hypertension had the greater prevalence of a past hystory of myocardium infarction (13/299 that is 4.3 %), than persons of control group (0/194, c2=8.66. p=0.003
