The purpose for this study is to assess the socio-demographic and health related determinants of over
weighted diabetic patients in Bangladesh. To fulfill this objective, chi square and logistic regression analysis
have been performed using the data extracted from 300 diabetic patients attending Rajshahi Diabetes
Association, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The assessment of this study shows that 29.7% of all diabetic patients have
over weight of which female diabetic patients (19.0%) are more over weighted than male diabetic patients
(10.7%). Also, peoples have a higher risk to develop abdominal obesity and diabetes with increasing their age
especially older age. The majority of over weighted diabetic patients (15.3%) is sleeping more than normal
hours (>6 h) and 10.7% have over weight with high blood pressure. Poor control of diabetes is one of the main
reasons to develop over weight. It has been found that age, sex, controlling diabetic through exercise, increasing
diabetes because of food habit, low blood pressure and high blood pressure are significantly associated with
the over weight of diabetic patients. Also, it is identified that age, sex, education, duration of sleeping,
controlling diabetic through exercise, increasing diabetes because of food habit, low blood pressure, normal
blood pressure and high blood pressure have significant effect on over weight.
Key words: Bangladesh, blood pressure, chi square test, diabetes, logistic regression, over weight,
