Background: Type 2 Diabetics are prone to several co-morbidities, including psychiatric disorders. However, maintenance of good glycaemic controls will likely culminate in better mental state status of majority of patents.
Aim: To assess the relationship between glycaemic control and body mass index with psychiatric disorders at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt Nigeria.
Methodology: A cross sectional hospital based study to evaluate the relationship between glycaemic control and body mass index at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. By simple random sampling technique,328 respondents were selected for the study. They were subjected to oral interview using the General Health Questionnaire version 28(GHQ-28). Their body mass index (B.M.I) was calculated using the Hanson's weighing scale and a stadiometer. Blood glucose was analysed using venous blood sample. Collated data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17, IBM U.S.A. Chi-square test was employed for comparing differences in proportions. Results were presented in Frequency tables.
Results: Majority of the respondents 36 (80%) with normal weight did not have psychiatric co-morbidity, however most of the obese respondents 93 (33%) had psychiatric disorder.
Conclusion: There is significant association between mental disorders with glycaemic control and body mass index.
