Abstract

Bu araştırmada hemşirelik
bölümü öğrencilerinin tip 2 diyabet riski ile bel/boy oranı ve tip 2 diyabet
riski ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel ve kalça çevresi
ölçümleri tekniğine uygun olarak yapılmış ve Finlandiya tip 2 diyabet riski
anketi uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %67.1’inin 10 yıllık tip 2 diyabet
riskinin %1, %28.5’inin 10 yıllık diyabet riskinin %4, %2.2’sinin 10 yıllık tip
2 diyabet riskinin %16 ve %2.2’sinin 10 yıllık tip 2 diyabet riskinin %33
olduğu saptanmıştır. Tip 2 diyabet riski ile bel/boy oranı ve beden kütle
indeksi arasındaki ilişki orta düzeyde olup bel/boy oranı, tip 2 diyabet riski
ile korelasyon katsayısı en yüksek olan ölçümdür. Gençlerde
tip 2 diyabet riskinin girişimsel olmayan yöntemlerle belirlenebilmesi riskin
azaltılmasında etkili olabilir.

Abstract

In this study it’s aimed to evaluate type 2 diabetes
risk and the relation between type 2 diabetes and waist/height ratio in nursing
students. Body weight, height, waist and hip circumferences were performed by following the appropriate techniques and Finnish type 2 diabetes risk score questionnarie was
applied. The ratio of students whose ten years risk of
type 2 diabetes risk were %1, %4, %16 and %33 assesed as %67.1, %28.5, %2.2 and
%2.2, respectively. While type 2 diabetes risk correlated with both
waist/height ratio and body mass index at medium level, waist/height ratio had
the highest correlation coefficient with type 2 diabetes. The assesment of type 2 diabetes risk of youth with non-inasive
techniques could
be effective for decreasing the risk.
