Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders sharing the common underlying feature of hyperglycemia. Peripheral resistance to insulin is a prominent feature of diabetes. Skeletal muscle is the primary site responsible for decreased insulin-induced glucose utilization in diabetics.

Aims and Objectives: The study was done to compare the anthropometric parameters in non-diabetics and controlled diabetics.

Materials and Methods: The study population consists of two groups of male participants in the age group of 30-40 years. The control group consists of 50 healthy volunteers. The test group consists of 50 controlled diabetics. Anthropometric assessment was done. Windostat version 9.2 software was used for all statistical analysis. Comparison of variables between the two study groups was done using ANOVA.

Results: Partic ipants were age-matched but weight was significantly higher in diabetics. Abdominal skinfold thickness, mid arm circumference, maximum forearm circumference, and body mass index were significantly higher in diabetics than non-diabetics (P < 0.005). The forearm skinfold thickness, forearm muscle area (FAMA), corrected FAMA, and forearm muscle volume were found to be significantly higher in diabetics than non-diabetics (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: The anthropometric parameters can be used as a predictor for diabetes mellitus.

Key words: Anthropometric Parameters; Diabetes Mellitus; Height; Weight; Skinfold Thickness
