Abstract

ABSTRACT: The study objectifies to evaluate body composition and biochemical profile of diabetic subjects. 105 patients

participated, anthropometric measures, evaluation of body composition by bioelectrical impedance and biochemical tests

were carried out. 70% of the patients reported being diagnosed at least 5 years ago; 43.3% were obese (BMI=30) and

women presented higher values for BMI (30.65±4.45 Kg/m2 vs 28.04±5.21 Kg/m2) and percentual body fat (38.19±4.49% vs

29.91±4.65%) than men. Average values of glycemia, HbA1c and total cholesterol were above reference values for both

sexes. Results suggest the need for qualification and intervention development in the secondary prevention scope in

order to reduce complications and problems related to diabetes, thus improving quality of life for those patients.
