Abstract
Contravening findings are found in the literature about the association between individuals stature and diabetes status. This paper attempts to find evidence regarding the nature and strength of this association by analyzing a nationally representative data of Bangladesh. Under ordinal regression setup, a partial proportional odds model, a variant of the proportional odds model, has been found to fit better compared to the proportional odds model for analyzing diabetes status in Bangladesh. A strong evidence of inverse relationship is found between diabetes and height. Gender, education level, wealth index, place of residence, division and type of work are also found to be significantly associated with diabetes.
