Introduction: The characterization of the phase angle, measured by electrical bioimpedance, is a key clinical marker in patients with diabetes mellitus, muscle mass, adipose tissue and visceral fat; it allows its analysis as a factor of direct relationship with tissue and cellular response. Objective: The present study has been devised to apply descriptive statistics, which are to be segmented according to sex and age, with a view to obtaining interval-type control points on the phase angle in correlation with metabolic complications. Methodology: A crosssectional study design was employed, incorporating both a Pearson correlational analysis and a principal component analysis. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the relationship between phase angle and body composition as well as metabolic complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: 121 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were evaluated by descriptive analysis and variance using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, considering the components of the phase angle in arms, legs and trunk, broken down by sex. Discussion: In
this study, the relationship between phase angle and metabolic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was evaluated. A phase angle control interval between 5 and 7 points was established; values below 5 were associated with inflammatory syndromes and metabolic complications. Conclusions: The phase angle is positioned as a key indicator for the identification and management of metabolic complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
