Abstract

Type II diabetes is a chronic non-communicable disease characterized as a public health problem. investigate the presence of chemical parameters in the urine of diabetic individuals and correlate with anthropometric measurements. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out with 50 volunteers, developed from the answer to some questions, the analysis of urine and the measurement of anthropometric measurements. Metformin is the main drug for treatment, with average age and height; 60.4 years and 163.5 cm, the median weight and disease duration; 74kg and 54 months respectively and the anthropometric measurements ranged from normal to altered. The volunteers had ketonuria, glycosuria and proteinuria. Gender and body mass index did not influence the choice of medication, nor the chemical parameters, however, they statistically influenced weight and height and arm, waist and hip circumferences. These variables, adjusted by the logistic regression model, revealed a direct relationship between increasing waist circumference and people's chances of developing diabetes.
