    ObjectiveTo determine the risk factors associated with inflammation in hypertensive patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsA total of 164 hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes patients aged 38-60 years were selected from 7 primary healthcare centers in Gaza city, Palestine. Interview questionnaire were employed to collect data related to age, gender, smoking habits, and physical activity pattern. Laboratory biochemical tests included fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), interleukin 6 (IL-6), high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP), and adiponectin were estimated in all patients.ResultsThe study involved 118 (72%) women and 46 (28%) men; the mean of age was 53.7 ± 0.46 years. A tertile of inflammation feature with hs-CRP was developed. The highest tertile of hs-CRP was significantly associated with women, higher obesity indices, metabolic dysregulation involving lipid profile markers, FBG and blood pressure, IL-6, and lower adiponectin. After adjusting for age, gender, smoking habits, and physical activity; the risk factor of high level of hs-CRP were the increased body mass index [OR: 1.17, p = .018], IL-6 [OR: 2.22, p = .025] and FBG [OR: 1.01, p = .007], as well as reduced adiponectin [OR: 0.81, p = .002].ConclusionThe inflammation state was affected by obesity and had been related to altered adipokines levels of IL-6 and adiponectin, as well as affected by the glycemic control, as evidenced by higher serum level of FBG.
