Hubungan Indeks Massa Tubuh dan Kadar Gula Darah Pada Penderita Diabetes Melitus 2

Abstract

Statistics show that diabetes remains among Indonesia's most common diseases. Factors that cannot be changed, such as race, age, gender, and having a family history of diabetes, increase the likelihood of complications. Additionally, being overweight or obese, not getting enough exercise, and eating poorly are all modifiable risk factors. Being overweight increases the likelihood of developing diabetes. When a person is overweight, their body develops insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to use its own insulin. Consistent with Rosadi's findings, those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher are 2.51 times more likely to develop diabetes mellitus (DM) compared to those with a BMI of 25 or lower.
