Univariant Analysis Of The Mean Age Of Patients At Civil Hospital

RESULTS
A total of 227 patients presenting with type II DM and ≥ 5 years of duration of DM at medicine ward, Civil Hospital Karachi were enrolled in this study.
Characteristics:
The mean age of patients was 48.26±9.01years (Table 1) and percentage distribution of age of patients is shown (Table 2). Percentage distribution of gender in overall study population, males were 101 (44.5%) and females were 126 (55.5%) shown in (Table 3). The mean weight of patients was 457.29±7.56 kg, with 95% CI (56.30; 58.28) of mean weight (Table 4)
The mean height of patients was 1.48±0.04 m, with 95% CI(1.47; 1.49)of mean height (Table 5). The mean BMI of patients was 26.07±3.76 kg/m2, with 95% CI (25.58; 26.56) of mean BMI (Table 6) and percentage distribution
This comparison found not statistically significant (Chi square test statistic = 1.850; P- value = 0.604) (table
Comparison of frequency of restrictive lung disease between duration of DM groups (years), in (5 - 10) year’s group were 24(60.0%), in (11 - 20) years group was 16(40.0%) and in (> 30 Years) years group was 0 (0.0%). This comparison found not statistically significant (Chi square test statistic = 5.93; P- value = 0.051) (table 17).
Comparison of frequency distribution of restrictive lung disease between Glycemic control groups, in controlled DM patients restrictive lung function was 14(35.0%) and in uncontrolled DM patients restrictive lung function was 26(65.0%), found not statistically significant (Chi square test statistic = 0.051; P- value = 0 .821) (table 18).
Comparison of frequency distribution of restrictive lung disease between treatment types of DM, in Oral Hypoglycemic taking DM patients restrictive lung function was 31(77.5%) and in Insulin taking DM patients restrictive lung function was 9(22.5%), found statistically significant (Chi square test statistic = 3.91; P- value = 0.048) (table
