Possible Association of Some Factors with Diabetes Mellitus

118 patients with DM and control group members were studied. The average age of patients was 60.6. In our case, no reliable data revealed a relationship between the disease and gender. On the other hand, when the BMIs of patients and healthy individuals were compared, a significant disparity was observed regarding normal weight. Specifically, patients with normal weight comprised only 4.2±1.8% of the total studied individuals, while in the healthy group, this figure was five times higher at 21.2±3.8%. It should be noted that patients are quantitatively predominant in all obesity categories. The prevalence of the O (I) blood group was significantly higher in the control group, as the obtained results indicate. Based on these data, we can conclude that individuals with the O (I) blood group are more resistant to developing the disease. B (III) and AB (IV) phenotypic groups prevalence was seven times higher in affected individuals, suggesting they can be classified as disease-susceptible groups.
