Introduction: In the last decades, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased considerably in Mexico. In 2000 the National Health Survey reported 2.1 millions of people affected; in 2006, 3.7 millions; and in 2012, 6.4 millions. Acting together, T2DM and cardiovascular disease are the leading cause of mortality with a trend that is increasing progressively in recent years. Objective: To identify and describe metabolic and non-metabolic risk factors in adults enrolled in a health center in the Estado de México. Methods: A non-random sampling of 586 male and female patients was divided into three groups: normal glucose (NG), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and T2DM. Metabolic (triglycerides, HDLcholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure) and non-metabolic (weight, height and waist circumference) variables were measured. Results: Mean levels of total cholesterol in the three groups were higher in the GN group with 203.6 ± 36.7 mg/dL vs. 199.4 ± 39.7mg/dL vs. 200.6 ± 44.7mg/dL, respectively. Serum levels of LDL-cholesterol in the GN and GAA groups were similar with 120.7 ± 32.3 vs. 120.5 ± 33.7, respectively; in the T2DM group, the serum level of LDL-C decreased (114.6 ± 36.5 mg/dL). Conclusions: Our findings show that patients with T2DM along with patients without diabetes show high frequency of alterations in lipid profiles and diastolic blood pressure, as well as abdominal obesity.
