Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients tend to have abnormal lipid profiles. There is an association between coronary heart disease with cholesterol and triglyceride levels in diabetic patients. This study was conducted to see how common risk factors for dyslipidemia affect the lipid profile of diabetics and to determine which factors can most be used as predictors of the occurrence of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 238 diabetes subjects (31-70 years old) who had taken regular examinations in the cohort study studies on risk factors for non-communicable diseases carried out by the Ministry of Health in Bogor during December 2017 - January 2018. In this study we found that age difference doesn’t affect lipid profile level and female has higher mean of BMI (p<0.001), TC (p<0.05), and HDL (p<0.001) level than male. The most common occurrences of dyslipidemia were high TC level (57.1%), followed by high LDL level (47.1%), high TG level (37.4%), and low HDL level (16.4%). Overweight, is the best predictor of the incidence of dyslypidemia. From this research, we can conclude that in T2DM patients, sex affects TC and HDL level, while age grouping did not show significant differences in any lipid profiles. Poor glycemic control, hypertension, and overweight could predicts dyslipidemia in T2DM.
