Self-reported dieting and weight histories of newly diagnosed NIDDM patients
1Department of Psychology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
Objective:
To investigate the role of weight and dieting history in newly diagnosed NIDDM patients.
Design:
Weight, age and sex-matched comparison of weight and dieting histories in NIDDM patients and non-clinical controls.
Subjects:
50 newly diagnosed NIDDM patients and 50 matched non-diabetic controls.
Measurements:
Structured Clinical Interview.
Results:
Findings indicated that there were no differences in the dieting and weight histories between the comparison groups. However within the NIDDM group significant relationships were found between weight and dieting histories and age of diagnosis.
Conclusion:
Overall the study suggests that there is nothing unusual about the weight and dieting histories of patients with NIDDM compared to non-diabetics with similar current weight. However weight and dieting histories may be important in determining the age of diagnosis of NIDDM.
