The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum levels of HbA1C and blood pressure, lipid disorders, disorders of glucose, body fat percentage in staff Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences. In this method cross-sectional study, after obtaining inform consent, proper questionnaire filled up. Biochemical tests, including FBS, TG, Chol, HDL, LDL, VLDL and HbA1C blood were taken. Independent t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare means. The relationship between quantitative and qualitative variables was tested by Pearson and Chisquare. In results the 183 participants, 99 men (54.4%) and 83 females (45.6%). BMI, abdominal circumference, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure FBS, triglyceride, total cholesterol and HbA1c were significantly higher in men than in women. Body fat percentage and HDL were significantly higher in women than men (P= 0.0001). HbA1c>6.5 fasting blood glucose and triglycerides, VLDL and Homa_IR were significantly different from the other level of HbA1c. HbA1C was significantly associated with systolic blood pressure and age, r =0.15 P=0.04, r =0.36, P=0.0001 respectively. HbA1C with fasting blood glucose (P= 0.0001), cholesterol (P = 0.006) and LDL (P= 0.002) had a direct and significant correlation but with triglycerides. Body fat percentage with triglycerides (P=0.005) and VLDL (P=0.012) had a direct and significant correlation but with HDL (P =0.001) negative significant correlation. The conclusion in this study, in non-diabetics with 6/5 <HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, VLDL and Homa IR were higher than others.
