Key Points

  • The research aims to compare atherogenic indices in newly diagnosed obese and lean patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
  • Comparison of atherogenic indices between newly diagnosed obese and lean patients with T2DM.
  • Assessment of cardiovascular disease risk based on lipid profiles and BMI.
  • Analysis of plasma lipid management recommendations for both groups.
  • Obese patients exhibit higher cardiovascular disease risk compared to lean patients.
  • Both groups show increased atherogenic risk, necessitating lipid management for all.
  • Strong emphasis on aggressive control of plasma lipids regardless of body mass index.

Abstract

This study is the first to document increased atherogenic risk in both obese and lean patients (newly diagnosed) with T2DM. Although CVD risk is higher among the obese patients, aggressive control of plasma lipids is required in all patients with T2DM, irrespective of BMI.
