Abstract

Objective: To describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity (OWO) and some related factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving outpatient treatment at Vinh Yen City Medical Center, Vinh Phuc Province, during 2023-2024. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 252 type 2 diabetes patients over 20 years old receiving outpatient treatment at Vinh Yen City Medical Center, Vinh Phuc province. Results: Among the 252 study participants, females accounted for 50.8% and males for 49.2%. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among participants was 17.8%, with a higher prevalence in males (30.6%) than in females (5.5%). The proportion of participants with mild malnutrition (grade 1) was 2.4%, higher in females (3.1%) than in males (1.6%). Among those under 55 years old, 81.8% were overweight or obese, compared to 82.2% in those aged 55 years and older. The proportion of individuals with high waist circumference was 43.2% in those under 55 years old and 45.7% in those aged 55 and older. The prevalence of a high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) was 84.1% in participants under 55 years old and 81.2% in those aged 55 and older. No significant association was found between biochemical indices and overweight/obesity status in both genders (p > 0.05). Participants who smoked had a 6.1 times higher risk of being overweight or obese than non-smokers. Those who consumed alcohol had a 7.1 times higher risk of being overweight or obese than those who did not. A significant association was found between smoking, alcohol consumption, and overweight/obesity in study participants (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Most study participants had a normal nutritional status, with 17.8% being overweight or obese. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, were associated with overweight and obesity in the study population.
