Correlation between visceral abdominal fat with body mass index in type 2 diabetic patient using DEXA scan
Objective: To correlate between visceral abdominal fat with body mass index (BMI) in patients with type 2 diabetis mellitus using dual – energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. Methodology: Patients (n=29) were recruited from Klinik Pakar, Hospital USM, Kelantan. The inclusion criteria included ty...

Methodology: Patients (n=29) were recruited from Klinik Pakar, Hospital USM, Kelantan. The inclusion criteria included type 2 diabetic patient with age ranging from 20 to 79 years.
