It was also found to be highly associated with retinopathy (p < 0.001) among the male patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A large number of urban Bangladeshi population are involved only in low PA or remain inactive themselves, which is leading to obesity and it seems to have a strong association with diabetes related complications in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":520602,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes & metabolic syndrome","volume":" ","pages":"806-809"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.dsx.2018.11.069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36863092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
