Objective: To describe the nutritional status and related factors of outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Military Hospital 175 in 2023.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 246 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from March 2023 to December 2023.
Results: According to the BMI classification of the World Health Organization Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO), the results showed that type 2 diabetic patients had normal weight in 35.9%; underweight in 4.3%; the rates of overweight and obesity were 25% and 34.8%, respectively. Factors significantly associated with overweight and obesity (OW/OB) (p < 0.05) included: the group with a disease duration of < 5 years had a 2-fold higher risk of OW/OB compared to the group with disease duration ≥ 5 years (95%CI: 1.1 – 3.9, p = 0.024); the group with hypertriglyceridemia had a 2.01 fold higher risk of OW/OB compared to the group with controlled triglyceride levels; the group with inadequate nutritional knowledge had a 2.2-fold higher risk of OW/OB compared to the group with adequate nutritional knowledge (95%CI: 1.3 – 3.8, p = 0.004); the group with poor nutritional practice had a 1.89-fold higher risk of OW/OB compared to the group with good nutritional practice (95%CI: 1.06 – 3.36, p = 0.028); the group without diabetes nutritional education had a 1.86-fold higher risk of OW/OB compared to the group with nutritional education (95%CI: 1.08 – 3.2, p = 0.025).
Conclusion: A high prevalence of overweight and obesity (OW/OB) (59.8%) was observed among outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient’s nutritional status exhibited a statistically significant association with factors such as disease duration, triglyceride control, and nutritional knowledge and practice. Accordingly, implementing nutrition education and counseling programs for these patients is warranted.
