[Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in overweight or obese outpatients in Spain. OBEDIA Study].
The increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related to the increase of obesity. We aimed to determine the Spanish prevalence of T2DM in patients with overweight or obesity attended by either family or specialist physicians. ⋯ T2DM is related to overweight and obesity and higher the BMI is, higher the T2DM prevalence. Dyslipidemia, hypertension and a low physical activity in diabetic patients are more frequent when BMI increases. Patients with inadequate metabolic control have a higher BMI.
