Description
1. INTRODUCTION The relationships between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), anthropometric variables and blood pressures are statistically complex [1,2]. Strong inter-correlation between anthropometric and physiometric variables creates complexities in the analysis and interpretation of independent associations of these variables with the development of type 2 diabetes. Principal Component Factor Analysis (PCFA) is the technique to reduce a large number of variables to a smaller number of factors which are more closely associated with antecedent [2-4]. The objective of the present study using principal component factor analysis is to compare the relationship between anthropometric and physiometric components with diabetic males, pre- and post-meno-pausal females in North Indian Punjabi population. The attention has also been given to find out which factors can be used as significant predictors of T2DM.
