Aim: We compared the waist circumferences (WC) of 1214 diabetics with various parameters in real-life conditions. Patients and Method: The study was carried out by reviewing the anthropometric measurements and biochemical analyzes of diabetics and they were analyzed due to WC status of the patients. Results: Mean total cholesterol level was 204.6 ± 47.1 mg/dL in patients with normal WC and 211.6 ± 45.6 mg/dL in patients with increased WC (p = 0.015). Total cholesterol was found to be a risk factor for WC enlargement (OR: 1.003, 95% CI: 1.001 - 1.006, p = 0.015). HDL-cholesterol appeared to be a risk factor for the increase in WC (OR: 1.005, CI: 1.001 - 1.010, p = 0.029). Median triglyceride level was 158 (41 - 975) mg/dL in the normal WC group, while it was 176 (22 - 1379) mg/dL in the patients with increased WC (p < 0.001). Triglyceride was observed as a risk factor for WC increase (OR: 1.002, 95% CI: 1.001 - 1.003, p = 0.004). The serum uric acid level was 4.75 ± 1.6 mg/dL in the normal WC group, while it was 5.09 ± 1.5 mg/dL in the increased WC group (p = 0.002). Serum uric acid level was appeared as a risk factor for increased WC (OR: 1.162, 95% CI: 1.057 - 1.276, p = 0.002). The median serum GGT level was 27 (7 - 174) mg/dL in WC normal group and 28 (8 - 730) mg/dL in increased WC diabetics (p = 0.029). Serum GGT level was a risk factor for increased WC (OR: 1.162, 95% CI: 1.001 - 1.010, p = 0.029). Conclusion: We have demonstrated that the measurement of WC has an important role in diabetes management and is related with inflammatory parameters such as uric acid and GGT.
